Two days ago, on October 11th, 2013, the "secret" son of professional American football player Adrian Peterson was pronounced dead. Adrian Peterson had only just heard about being the father of the child months ago, and therefore probably did not have a very involved relationship with the mother. The child was apparently severely beaten by the mother's current boyfriend, James Robert Patterson, 27, with a steel rod. James Patterson had reportedly had a previous altercation with another girlfriend's child, which ended with another beating. So far, Peterson has asked people to respect his privacy regarding the matter, confirms that he'll "still be playing on Sunday", and he thanks everyone for their support and prayers. This article is definitely credible because they included a video link to Adrian Peterson himself talking about the issue, and was reported on by the Associated Press. Adrian Peterson himself appears to be handling himself very maturely, and doesn't seem to be too emotionally consumed by it, although the media must feel somewhat obsessive to him.
