Quote:

Minnesota Vikings superstar Adrian Peterson has reportedly been indicted for child abuse in North Montgomery County, TX.

Peterson missed Vikings team practice yesterday -- though the team explained it as a "veteran's day."

Earlier today, Peterson posted a message on Twitter -- though it's unclear if it's related to the case.

"People understand that if you are on God's course and suppose to have that position and man decides to remove you know that God will remove everyone to place you rightfully! You matter!"

"Its your season! Weapons may form but won’t prosper! God has you covered don’t stress or worry!"

Story developing ...

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said the indictment stems from Peterson disciplining his son with a switch.

Typical Thug NFL player.

Sounds like another day at Wal-Mart!

spare the rod and wreck the kid

[eyeguy 54]

not talking beating here people...

[CaptainMusky]

I suppose bigdave will think this is OK because the victim was a male.

[zepman]

IMO...a non story.

Unless he went completely ape on the kid and drew blood or something...

Wussification of America at its best.

NFL arrest tracker.

At least the Vikings are winning at something...

[zepman]

I said, open wounds are a different story...haven't seen them yet.

[harvey lee]

I will wait to see all the facts as the press at times can make more out of a story than the actual facts before I judge him.

No issue with spanking a child but if blood was drawn, maybe too far.

CBS Minnesota includes photos of the boy's injuries, released by the Houston PD This is one, apparently showing lacerations to the boy's legs:

It's just a flesh wound.

Vikings have deactivated Adrian Peterson Sunday.

[toughguy]

What an one-who-thinks-I-am-silly. His own son died at the hands of another abuser. 6 games minimum, probably more.

[LMITOUT]

His own son died at the hands of another abuser.

[CaptainMusky]

Come on LMIT we all know your schtick but there is no doubt Peterson wasn't involved in his other sons death especially considering he hasn't even know about him until he died.

Let the facts of this case be what they may and stop with the conjecture and reckless speculation.

[ANYFISH2]

Peterson has been my favorite viking sense we drafted him.

If this is found to be completely true (a first blush I think it is) I hope he never puts a vikings jersey on again. That appears to me as being beyond discipline IMHO.

[zepman]

That's excessive...

In all reality though, that's what "switch" marks look like...millions of kids (mostly in the south) have experienced the same thing. Doesn't make it right...it just is what it is.

He's got himself in a pickle now...I would assume the NFL will probably drop the hammer big time now.

[RumRiverRat]

The backward cousin marrying individuals in the south view this as normal everyday discipline.

[toughguy]

I agree anyfish. The more I read about this the more I want him gone. If this was on video it would be even more disturbing than the Rice footage. Multiple lashes to his legs and scrotum with defensive wounds to his hands. A four year old. There is a very good chance he has played his last game as a Viking. It sounds like this happened months ago. How could they let him play last week?

[candiru]

If any of us had done this same thing to our kid; we would have been hauled away by the cops months ago.

[leech~~]

You would have thought that maybe he had some examples given to him growing up?

[flipper]

Prolly drunk again.

I suppose bigdave will think this is OK because the victim was a male.

Nope, not OK at all. The victim was a kid.

[CaptainMusky]

No conjecture and reckless speculation about this deal. He admitted that he "whooped" him

You know what I was talking about LMIT. You insinuated that Peterson may have been involved in his other sons death.
