The infamous Minnesota Vikings running back, Adrian Peterson, split his 4-year-old sons scrotum with a switch as he lashed the childs legs, back, and genitals over 40 times. Adrian Peterson literally beat his son bloody and continues to defend his choice to do so. Peterson’s son lives in Minnesota with his mother. The boy traveled to Texas in May to visit with Peterson. The boy’s mother noticed fresh injuries on her son’s back, buttocks, legs and scrotum after Peterson returned him to her. A week later she took the child to a doctor who notified Houston police of a possible child abuse case. Peterson’s attorney, Rusty Hardin, said Peterson used a tree branch to “spank” his son for pushing another son who lived with him. Hardin said Peterson used the same type of discipline that he experienced as a child growing up in east Texas. Hardin said the injuries to the boy were “unintentional” — which is hard to believe considering Peterson reportedly whipped the child over 40 times because he refused to cry. The boy had defensive wounds on his hands and his scrotum was split. Before returning the boy to his mother, Peterson sent her a text message admitting he hit the child on his scrotum. “Never do I go overboard!,” he wrote. “But all my kids will know, hey daddy has he biggest heart but don’t play no games when it comes to acting right.” The Montgomery County DA’s office said Peterson went way beyond the limits of “reasonable discipline,” and that is why he was indicted for child abuse. Peterson is a promiscuous athlete with numerous illegitimate children spread across the country. Ironically, another of Peterson’s sons was beaten to death by his mother’s boyfriend in October. Joseph Patterson, 27, will be tried next month on second-degree murder charges.
