Via ESPN:
The CBS affiliate cites text messages that reportedly include a photo of the son with an apparent head wound covered by bandages.
The Houston TV station reported the mother of the 4-year-old — from a different mother than the child he stands charged with abusing — filed a report with Child Protective Services but no charges have been filed.
The text exchange was as follows, according to KHOU-TV:
Mother: “What happened to his head?”
Peterson: “Hit his head on the Carseat.”
Mother: “How does that happen, he got a whoopin in the car.”
Peterson: “Yep.”
Mother: “Why?”
Peterson: “I felt so bad. But he did it his self.”
According to the report, Peterson then goes on to say he was disciplining his son for cursing at a sibling, though how specifically the child was wounded wasn’t made clear.
Mother: “What did you hit him with?”
Peter never directly answered, the report said, but later replied: “Be still n take ya whooping he would have saved the scare (scar). He aight (all right).”
This sad story just makes me feel sick for the babies that weren’t protected. You’d think after losing one son to child abuse (even by the hands of another) it would make you super PROTECTIVE of another son God put under your care. No no no, this man needs prison, not an NFL carreer! God help the babies.
