City Pages in Minnesota Was Wrong: the Child in the Hospital in South Dakota is Adrian Peterson's [UPDATE]
By Jason McIntyre
TMZ reported that Adrian Peterson’s 2-year old son in South Dakota has been hospitalized after being abused by a man who has been dating the child’s mother. Pro Football Talk called the situation “tragic.” Police in South Dakota recently released a statement about the incident, but there’s no mention of Adrian Peterson. City Pages in Minnesota received an email from someone claiming that the young child is not Peterson’s.
Peterson, who returned to Minnesota this morning and will address the media today, was definitely in South Dakota yesterday.
The child, according to the South Dakota police, remains in critical condition.
[UPDATE: Pro Football talk says the child is Peterson’s son. Adrian Peterson’s father told Sean Jensen of the Pioneer Press that the child is Peterson’s.]
