Adrian Peterson's son assaulted

[Guiness]

A bunch of stories at PFT and TMZ about AP's 2yr old son being severely beaten, and is now in the hospital on life support.

Feel terrible for the guy (and the kid, of course), has to be a horrible feeling for him.

btw It's not AP Jr who's shown up in a lot of pictures but another boy, pretty sketchy on those details. A lot of questions, who was the guy, what was he doing alone with the kid, motivation...what a mess.

Ugh. Pretty hard to fathom what could bring a grown man to do that to a 2-year old.

From some of the articles, the guy was dating and living with the boy's mother, and it was a fairly new relationship.

Studies have show this sort of behavior in some other animals (cats are a notorious example), but this animalistic behavior needs to be removed from human behavior. In any even women need to use caution before bringing a new man into a small child's life, regardless of how infatuated they are.

Yes, getting rid of a competing bloodline so your own can survive. Most would consider is a pretty base instinct.

The situation is a bit confusing, I guess partially because AP has kept his family out of the limelight. The son that we have seen photos of is Adrian Peterson Jr. Not sure how old he is, both boys seem pretty close to the same age. The guy who is accused of assaulting the kid is the mother's boyfriend, who I assume is not the same woman that is AP Jr's mother? None of this really matters, although I assume it will result in a fair amount of tabloid fodder.

More than severe head injuries. Reports are there is no brain activity, they're giving it 24h then pulling the plug on life support.

Gassed I guess. At a loss for what should be done. Serious, serious questions about the kid's mother.

Disgusting and worse yet you know this wasn't the first time this animal hit the boy so lock the mother up too.

[Maxie the Taxi]

Calling the guy an animal insults my cat. How about evil.

And in yet other animal species the males all share fathership roles. Humans tend to be closer to that model....and if we do gas this fucker we will be one step closer, so lets have some evolution in action.

This story is just heartbreaking. And it's repeated across the country too many times. It's hard to conceive of an appropriate punishment.

Repped. Your last sentence described just how I was feeling but couldn't quite put into words.

Human beings are not cats - ever hear of free will? Evolution/adaptation doesn't work at the individual level.

Put him in prison with a 6'10" black gay top and keep him there forever.

kids been pronounced dead

not much of a praying man, but my thoughts are definitely with AP

[Cheesehead Craig]

As a father of 2 kids, I just can't even imagine doing that. Best wishes to you AP.
