Joseph Robert Patterson was charged. He is the boyfriend to the mother of Adrian Peterson’s son. The mother and son had recently moved in with Patterson. Our hearts and prayers go out to the Peterson family.
Can’t imagine what Adrian Peterson and family is thinking tonight. As a father, losing a child has to be one of the most unbelievable feelings ever. I can’t imagine it, so I feel so desperately for him. Watched my parents lose a daughter, I a sister, the situation was much to bare.
Adrian Peterson plays running back for the Minnesota Vikings in the NFL. His 2 year old son died Friday, Oct. 11th, 2013 in Sioux Falls, S.D., hospital. Allegedly, a man beat him to death. The man was dating the mother of Peterson’s child.
Police arrested Joseph Robert Patterson, 27, who was initially charged with aggravated assault and aggravated assault on an infant.

Patterson has a prior domestic abuse record with a different woman and child, having pleaded guilty to simple assault in an incident last year involving an adult female and juvenile male.
Sioux Falls police said Patterson recently started a relationship with the mother of the 2-year-old victim. Patterson appeared in court Friday morning in Canton, S.D. His bond had been set at $750,000 in cash before the boy’s death.
The incident occurred in Patterson’s apartment, where the boy had recently moved with his mother. Patterson called 911 on Wednesday evening to report a choking at the Platinum Valley apartment, but Lt. Blaine Larsen of the Sioux Falls Police Department said it became clear at the hospital that the boy’s injuries were not accidental.
Sioux Falls police said the incident was initially reported as a medical emergency.
“As officers and first responders got there, they found child was unresponsive and he was taken to the hospital,” police spokesman Sam Clemens told USA TODAY Sports. “So they ended up calling police about that or letting them know. We had detectives talk to quite a few people to try to figure out what happened. What they ended up finding was that when the injuries happened there was one person with that child, and that person was Joseph Patterson.”
“The injuries they found were head injuries,” Clemens said. “It was obvious to medical staff that abuse had taken place and that those injuries weren’t accidental.”
This is just overwhelming to us. How does a person beat a child to death?
This speaks to many issues. Parenting isn’t for everyone. That is just the facts and hopefully this guy is never let around another baby in his life. There is no excuses for someone that beats a baby. Not going to say what should be done to him, but i’m sure you can use your imagination.
Ladies, please be conscious of who you leave your children with these days.
Obviously, you can never be sure, but there are some real sick people in this world and we must be diligent. Apparently, the mother and son had recently moved in with Patterson.
It is speculated the mother was only way for a short time when the abuse took place.
Please keep the Peterson family in your prayers.
