Adrian Peterson Indicted for Negligent Injury to a Child

[CbusVikesFan]

Well, if this is not a monkeywrench, no matter how it twists and turns. Unfortunate. NFL is turning into a daily soap opera.

cut the piece of crap. To me this is worse than what rice did. A little boy for God's sake!

Wow, this truly does not sound good. I believe suspension will be inevitable

I was so psyched for this coming game and happy drama was not on us for once. Yes, I too was hit with belt while growing up..I feel that was abuse, especially since I was not guilty

I dont feel he intended to injure child, but it is not right, espoecially to four year old..ugh..sick to my stomach

He will be crucified by public for this..season suspension is likely

[tradster]

Best thing if he gets suspended for the year.

Don't know that I can ever pull for the Vikings again with him on the team.

[9man]

Cowboys can have him for all I care. 4 years old. Really? The guy is a bum.

yep trade him now

Wow, finally some sanity in this thread. I thought I was on the Packer's forum for a minute or something.

The beating allegedly resulted in numerous injuries to the child, including cuts and bruises to the child’s back, buttocks, ankles, legs and scrotum, along with defensive wounds to the child’s hands. Peterson then texted the boy’s mother, saying that one wound in particular would make her “mad at me about his leg. I got kinda good wit the tail end of the switch.”

Adrian's career?

[Hunter Morrow]

What opinion am I supposed to have here? He might have hit a 4 year old in the face and scrotum with a tree branch.

[Reignman]

Ahhh life as a Vikings fan. Even when things are going great, we get bit in the #### by something like this.

When/if he gets out of jail, trade him to Dallas asap. Did he not know even laying a finger on a child is considered child abuse these days? Is he not familiar with how times have changed? The guy either has a screw loose or has below average intelligence. Beating a kid with a stick or a belt, and has a whoopin room? SMH, clueless doesn't even begin to describe this guy.

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 ...

WTF does any of that even mean? He's a college graduate isn't he? I'm leaning toward screw loose, maybe even 2 or more.

Further development: That was one of two alleged beatings. The other one left injuries consistent with being beaten with an extension cord.

This franchise is cursed...

Link a source or don't post it.

This is just sick, suspend him indefinitely and if he's convicted of what he's being accused of just cut him.

I'm disappointed in Adrian. I think he deserves whatever punishment is handed out.

That said, some people are raised in ways where these actions are ok -- but that doesn't make it right.

No child should be harmed that way, especially at 4 years old.

[yezzir]

2-10 years if Adrian is found guilty.

Warrant is currently out for his arrest according to multiple sources.

He won't serve 1 day in prison.
