Details emerge in Adrian Peterson child abuse case: ‘I’m all tearing that butt up when needed’

Police in Houston have released further details regarding their arrest of NFL running back Adrian Peterson on child abuse charges, including Peterson’s admission that he beat his 4-year-old son with a ‘switch,’ according to CBS Houston.

Peterson was booked into the Montgomery County Texas Jail early Saturday morning, after being allowed into the jail through a side entrance, to be processed and have his mugshot taken. Peterson reportedly posted $15,000 bond and left the facility thirty minutes later.

According to authorities, Peterson beat his 4-year-old son with a tree branch this summer because the child pushed one of his other children off of a motorbike video game.

As punishment Peterson reportedly struck the child repeatedly with a tree branch — which he called a “switch” — after stripping the leaves off of it.

Will the NFL have the balls to suspend this abusive jerk? Stay tuned for updates.

and to me, worse than the Ray Rice case. Absolutely inexcusable for anyone to inflict that sort of injury on a child. Hitting him in the scrotum?! WTF?! You're a huge football player, if you had to hit him, a swat on the hand would have inflicted enough pain. I'm absolutely floored that someone who lost a child to abuse could turn around and do something so heinous. What a fucking ass.
