How does this happen? HOW!?!?! How do you look at a child like that and then just smack the shit out of them? How does the first wail of pain not stop you cold in your tracks? I sort of hate my fellow man with increasing frequency these days. A fucking two year old. His last living memory is the complete terror of having a man beat him unconscious. Fuck this world.

I want to know, too @majorwife.
I have strong opinions about these kinds of cases, mostly that I pretty much never trust new boyfriends with little kids. My SIL is planning to move in with her scumbag boyfriend, and my 2 year old niece. I don't know if my lack of trust of men around little kids is backed up with enough cases like these for it to be reasonable, but that is how I feel.

Look, my 3YO fell out of bed last night and smacked her face on her nightstand. I could barely keep my composure to comfort her it was so hard to see her in pain from that impact. Like sbp, I just don't understand how people can do this and keep doing it! to something that is entirely helpless. Sick fucks.

Yup, it is pretty basic evolution stuff right? Killing the young results in the mom getting pg faster, and the new male advancing his DNA. I just read a story about it in National Geographic about lions.
I wonder what the age of a kid is where is becomes safer for your kid. Statistically speaking.
I wonder if part of it is a (subconscious) perception that your child risks injury/death by the new male HOH, but you calculate the odds are in the kids favor anyway due to improved economics.
I'll give Adrian Peterson the benefit of the doubt right now...he went when he heard, for all we know the Mom is saying the boy is not his, or that he can't be there, etc. Without paternity confirmation, he can't do anything to challenge that.
this is why you don't leave your kids with someone that has a competing interest with them. this boyfriend was "new". he wanted time, love, attention, what-the-fuck-ever, from mom and instead of getting it 100%, he has to compete with her kid. so he just fucking kills him like animals do when they conquer a new group. so fuck him. fuck him for being a low self-esteem piece of shit human and fuck the mom for not protecting her kid and fuck this NFL player too.
I am all sorts of emotional, hormonal today. GRRRRRRRRRR
I was expecting something flameful. I'm not seeing it.
This is why I'm helping my grandma keep custody of my niece. My sister is "engaged" to this total wacko and wants my niece back, but there is no way. This is the guy who, when meeting my brother for the first time, took him out to eat, got wasted (after supposedly completing rehab), flipped the table and called my brother a "lycan" while threatening him with a fork. Then he went home, accused sister of current pregnancy not being his and slashed his wrists. He's currently in the hospital. This is the home my sister wants to bring my niece back into. I hate to admit it, but I worry that sister is the kind of woman who "love" her man so much she'd let him do anything in order to keep him, and you can't tell her anything.
This piece of garbage has a violent history. WTF is the mother doing with him and WHY would she allow him to watch her child?
I've seen this happen way too many times, a mother has to work or wants to go out for the evening and leaves the child with the boyfriend. Boyfriend can't bare to handle a crying baby and instead of feeding, changing or comforting the baby....his answer is to either shake it or throw it across the room. I don't get these pieces of shit, how do you purposely hurt a defenseless baby? Were they raised in a cave by wolves?
My other beef is with the bio dad. His child (though he may be considered a 'love child') but still his son is lying in critical condition in the the hospital after being attacked. Peterson's not going to be sitting at his side...but he's going to carry on with his own life and go play football on Sunday. No big deal!
"I really appreciate all the support that I’ve been receiving from fans, the Vikings organization," he said. "This is a private matter and I would ask you all to please just respect my privacy and not ask at all about the situation at hand. Thanks.”
Asked about his mindset, Peterson said: "Football is something I will always fall back on. It gets me through tough times. Just being around the guys in here, that’s what I need." www.startribune.com/sports/vikings/blogs/227383981.html
He obviously doesn't really give two shits since being on the field means more.

Is he legally the father of this child?
If not, I'm on team @kateaggie and giving him the benefit of the doubt for going back to practice. We don't know why he's not at the kid's bedside. Perhaps he's being prohibited from being there. If he's not legally the kid's father he doesn't really have the same rights toward this child as if there was a formal establishment of paternity.
Sioux Falls isn't terribly far away. He can get back there if a few hours if necessary.
Possibly flameful, but I get where the dad is coming from. People grieve in weird ways. When his father was dying, my dad would get out to see him (a few hours away) every chance he could. But he'd still go to work. He had the leave, but he couldn't stand to be in the hospital 24/7 when he could do nothing. Work was his 'break' during that month from hell.
I was just waiting for someone to say i was victim blaming the mom here, that she could be abused.
She could be, but it said this was a new relationship so i dont think you can get deep into the cycle of abuse that quickly. So she was either thinking with her pussy above the interests of her kid or she is attracted to the type of man that will abuse kids, her being blinded by point one.
So get out of abusive relationships, get your ass in therapy to get over why you are attracted to abusive assholes and stop placing your vagina above your kid in order of importance.
See, I have a similar train of thought, which is, "women should make better relationship choices when they have children involved." Perhaps that's more flameful to put it so bluntly? I understand that many don't have a lot of choices. It mentioned that it was a fairly new relationship and she was living with him. Hell, maybe she can't afford to NOT live with him, and that's obviously a problem. There are many, many impoverished women who kind of jump from man to man as a survival mechanism. (And some who do it for other reasons.)
And that's when my opinion gets even more flameful, because it was her choice to have a child and bring him into this environment.
Honestly, most football players would cut off their left hand if it meant making it to the game on Sunday. They only play 16 games a year (not counting pre-season and playoffs, if they're lucky) and they get paid millions of dollars for this.
Torrey Smith, who plays for the Ravens, lost his younger brother in a motorcycle accident on a Saturday night last year. He got the call around 1am Sunday, drove from MD to VA to see his family, then drove back in time for the game Sunday afternoon/evening. His coach told him he was excused (which, honestly, is hard to do, given all of their prep), but he just said he needed to do it, and needed to play the game for his brother. Not to mention, the other players pretty much become your best friends, so if you're going to want support from anyone, it's them.
Also what KateAggie said - he might not be allowed in the room if the child is in ICU and he's not listed as his legal parent.
That's not to say he might still not be a douche. He wouldn't be the first asshole to play for the NFL.
Is this his child as in, he spends time with him, does stuff with him, etc? Or is it just a "you're the one who knocked me up, pay up now" kind of thing? If he doesn't actually have a relationship with the kid, I can understand his behavior. If he doesn't, well, I have some not nice things to say.

Are you blaming the mother for her son's beating? Because it sort of sounds like you are.
Yes, women SHOULD make good relationship choices, and SHOULD carefully consider pregnancies while they still have options. But the more important thing that SHOULD happen is that a grown man keeps his cool around a 2 year old baby.

Sure. And a mother SHOULD not leave her child with a man who is unlikely to be able to keep his cool around a baby a who has a history of violence.
I absolutely do blame the mother here. Not as much as the piece of hit who actually killed the baby, but still, yes I blame her.

this says he has no contact with the mom or child. I don't know how accurate it is though.
A check of Patterson's criminal background in South Dakota reveals nine pages of trouble.
Court documents reveal the 27 year old has been arrested multiple times on various charges. He was arrested in 2004 for violating a protection order, but that was later dropped by the prosecutor. A 2012 arrest for aggravated assault was also dismissed by a prosecutor. Patterson has served time in jail for Eluding officers in 2010. He was also sentenced to five days in jail after pleading guilty to simple assault last year.
The man accused of beating NFL star Adrian Peterson’s 2-year-old son in Sioux Falls was charged for beating a 3-year-old boy in 2012.
Joseph Patterson, 27, is facing aggravated assault on an infant and aggravated assault counts for the Oct. 9 incident involving Peterson’s son.
Report: 2-year-old in hospital is Adrian Peterson's son
A St. Paul Pioneer Press reporter confirmed that the child belonged to Peterson through the NFL star’s father. Peterson said at a post-practice news conference on Friday that he intended to play this weekend, then asked the media not to ask any further questions about the “private matter.”
His child’s mother had only recently moved in with Patterson at his south Sioux Falls apartment, police said.
In court on Friday, Lincoln County State’s Attorney Tom Wollman asked a judge to revoke the terms of Patterson’s suspended sentence on two domestic abuse cases. The first involved an assault on the mother of his own child and another of her children, the other arose from his refusal to abide by a judge’s order that he have no contact with them.
Patterson was indicted on several counts of simple assault involving the woman and her 3-year-old son in June of 2012.
The woman took out a protection order against him in Lincoln County prior to his arrest, saying he had spanked her 3-year-old so hard for misbehaving in church that he needed ice for welts on his buttocks. When she got angry with him for it, she wrote, he made the children go to their rooms, pulled the shades, grabbed her by the throat and waved his fist in her face.
He stopped when their infant son began to cry. She also wrote that he had behaved violently in the past.
“He has threaten (sic) to kill me multiple times,” she wrote.
The woman took out temporary protection orders against him twice in Minnehaha County prior to the birth of their son.
Patterson was given a one-year jail term in each Lincoln County case, with all the time suspended on the condition he attend domestic violence counseling.
In court on Friday, Wollman said Patterson was a danger to the community and at risk to flee. The prosecutor asked for a $750,000 cash bond, a request granted by Judge Stuart Tiede.
For the past year I have been paying attention to this child/boyfriend thing. 100%of the violent children's deaths under like the age of six have been caused by boyfriends in the state of Iowa. I can't even open the news links anymore because it is so maddening.
And yeah I grew up on a farm wtaching tom cats kill kittens just so he could hump the mama cat again. Evofuckinglution
