Last week, Adrian Peterson, running back for Minnesota Vikings was indicted on charges of child abuse for punishing an 11yr old with a switch.
It was then revealed over the weekend that he had also beaten another of his sons, a 4 year old, in the same way. And now picture of the little boy's injuries have come online.
According to TMZ, Adrian Peterson turned himself over to authorities early Saturday morning on child abuse charges ... accused of beating his 4-year-old son with a tree branch ... hitting him so hard it left welts and caused him to bleed.
Peterson actually admitted to cops he gave his son "a whooping" and says it's the same treatment he got as a kid. Peterson's lawyer adds that his client "deeply regrets the unintentional injury."
What do you think, can this kind of beating on such a little one be justified for any reason? And how come he's smiling in that mugshot? SMH...
