How sad. This has to be so scary. With joint custody you can't necessarily control what the other parent does during their time with the child and who they trust with the child. I hope the kid is ok and I hope if the mother was in any way negligent she loses custody.

Critical condition with no brain activity since yesterday.

This is awful. Poor baby On a side note, the last person I would want to piss off would be a football player. Rich, in-shape, and has a whole team of good friends in the same condition. I say they let this dude be the practice dummy. No pads. 1 on 40.

Someone said on ESPN radio that it didn't look like he was going to make it, but I haven't heard any specifics and they changed hosts and new hosts haven't talked about it.

Most studies show that severe child abuse/shaken baby syndrome/death is almost ALWAYS a boyfriend (or girlfriend) of the parent. We are a mid size county in upstate NY and we had a RASH (something like 4 in a month!) of severe child beatings/deaths a while back. I'd say about 10ish years ago. We had to actually start teaching a segment of Shaken Baby Syndrome in our parenting class. I worked with one of the families of one of the children that survived, but several did not. In every case, it was not the parent. But, that is not saying they are totally innocent in the matter, as many of them knew, or should've known, they were putting their child at risk by leaving them in the care of the people they left them with.

Bingo. I googled a picture. Besides being a formidable physical presence, I'm sure he has ample resources, and enough celebrity status such that he could get away with retribution.

So very sad!
But I wouldn't make any value judgements about the people being rich or poor. Adrian Peterson makes A LOT of money, but no telling the situation of the baby momma or the BF who presumably did this.

I was just reading the story on a sports website. It seems as though Adrian Peterson has a couple of other kids with a longtime girlfriend, and in fact had never seen this little boy until this happend this week. Maybe didn't even know of his existence.
No wonder AP said he'd be playing this Sunday.
I have great sympathy for the little boy, none for the baby Mama or Adrian Peterson.

So, apparently this child was a "secret"? Well, children shouldn't be secrets. If you father a child or have a child by another man, then grow up and stand up and allow this child to not be somebody's secret. And, if you are sleeping around so much you don't even know who the father is, that in itself is pretty pathetic. But, if you don't know, go find out for goodness sake. And, if you are the father of a one night stand, then accept it and stand up and be a father. Also, the reality is that non biological fathers are a much greater danger to children. And, where was mom anyway? Why was he watching this child alone?

Whether or not the child was a secret is not the issue. I'm sure he was paying child support and probably a lot of it. Enough for baby momma and her boy toy to live off of more than likely. Someone who would have a baby with someone for a check is not likely to be a good mother to begin with and someone hanging with someone who did that was only looking for a free ride, not to be a husband and father. It's no surprise to me and I hope mom and boy toy rot in jail for a very long time, so long that neither makes another child ever, with anyone. Not fit to be parents.

Yup, loss of a paycheck. No way she didn't know this boy toy was a creep. But her going out was more important. She could have taken the baby with her but that wouldn't be any fun, would it? Just a hassle. Now her hassle is gone as is her child support. Hope they both rot in jail for a lifetime. But she'll get off with a slap on the wrist, if that even. She is JUST as guilty and should also suffer more than the loss of her paycheck.

I don't know what the mother did or didn't know. But, this man was an abusive Ahole in the past. And, most likely i would guess she did see his temper and anger along the way. And, he has been arrested multiple times. I would find it hard to believe that mommy didn't know about some of that. But, WHERE was she?

But, if you have a child you have a duty to that child to not bring someone into that child's life like that either.

Yup, so apparently she is trash. Good moms never have kids who are abused/killed by their partners and the only reason she had this kid is for a child support check.
Im glad you guys know so much about her personal circumstances tha you feel comfortable condemning her after her baby died.

Nobody said that. But, she is running around with a guy who has been arrested MULTIPLE times. So, yeah, she has a responsibility to open her eyes. If she truly didn't know and this Coffee Salesman charmed the pants off her then fine. But, when i was pregnant with my children, i certainly didn't not know who the father absolutely was, sheesh.

God this thread turned dirty. A little boy died. We know very little about the circumstances or people involved yet people are already condemning the mother as trash. I guess the empathy wears off quick once you decide she just pops out babies for a check and didn't give a crap about her boy.
YMers suck sometimes.

Angel, let's at least get the terminology right, I'm sure Zib and Shooby didn't mean to imply she "popped" out a kid. Surely, the implication was that she "spewed" forth the spawn. And sheesh, trash like that can't possibly be sad that her child has died, she's just partying it up complaining that she "lost her meal ticket."
In case it's not obvious that the prior paragraph was sarcasm, let me be clear and state that unless Shooby and Zib know the mother personally or have read more details about the mother than I've seen anywhere, they are being incredibly nasty and judgmental about someone who is probably grieving and about whom we know virtually nothing.

1. Your titling of the post is offensive
2. NFL job doesn't mean you are not trailer trash
The fact that people (and there are many of them) abuse children like this is disgusting.
While I feel sorry for the child, the guy that said he'd still play this weekend even though his kid was in critical condition DID NOT IMPRESS me. That is no parent as far as I am concerned.
Many men are quite happy to be intermittent parents, leaving the day to day parenting to someone who is unprepared or unable to actually do it. The guys are off to have their bachelor life without a thought about their children.
How many times does this happen that doesn't make the papers/internet because neither parent is a 'star'?

We don't know where this woman was. We don't know why she was away. We don't know if she left the child alone with this guy, or if someone else was there who left before the guy went berserk on the child. We know very little about this. Peterson has said very little and I haven't read much of anything else that offers anything beyond the child is dead and the perp has been arrested. We darned well don't have enough information at this juncture to start pointing fingers at the mother.
