Twitter drags NFL for asking Robert Griffin III to turn religious t-shirt inside out

*New photos and text messages have surfaced to reveal another incident in which Adrian Peterson is accused of injuring one of his other sons while disciplining the boy in Texas.

The 4-year-old at the center of the previous scandal is by a different mother than the alleged victim in the new Montgomery County case, in which Peterson is charged with felony injury to a child, reports USA Today. In that case, Peterson admits to repeatedly striking the boy with a switch, but has maintained he did not intend to harm the child, and was using his judgment as a parent to discipline his son.

The latest incident allegedly occurred last June, while the boy, who lives out of state, was visiting Peterson at his gated home in Spring. A photo, allegedly texted by Peterson to the boy’s mother, shows a head wound to the boy covered by two bandages.

Other photos, allegedly taken weeks later, reveal a scar over his right eye.

The text messages also describe an exchange about what happened. They contain numerous misspellings and shorthand:

Mother: “What happened to his head?”

Peterson: “Hit his head on the Carseat.”

Mother: “How does that happen, he got a whoopin in the car.”

Peterson: “Yep.”

Mother: “Why?”

Peterson: “I felt so bad. But he did it his self.”

The text messages go on to show Peterson saying he was disciplining his son for cursing out a sibling.

“It’s absolutely criminal,” said Randy Burton, a former chief prosecutor of family crimes in Harris County, and founder of the advocacy group Justice for Children. “You break the skin, you have bleeding, much less permanent scars, that is a crime.”

But no charges were ever filed. Sources confirm the mother filed a report with Child Protective Services, but the outcome of any CPS investigation is unclear.

So is the method of the delivering the wound, according to the text messages.

Mother: “What did you hit him with?”

Peterson never directly answered, but later replied: “Be still n take ya whooping he would have saved the scare (scar). He aight (all right)”

“This is very damaging information,” Burton said, explaining that prosecutors in Montgomery County can use it as evidence in the felony case against Peterson involving the 4-year-old son.

“To prove intent, that it was not an accident, and to show that it was a course of conduct,” Burton said. “It wasn’t a one-off.”

Peterson’s attorney Rusty Hardin said that Peterson had done nothing wrong.

“The allegation of another investigation into Adrian Peterson is simply not true,” Hardin said in a statement. “This is not a new allegation, it’s one that is unsubstantiated and was shopped around to authorities in two states over a year ago and nothing came of it. An adult witness adamantly insists Adrian did nothing inappropriate with his son. There is no ongoing or new investigation.”

The Vikings said they already were aware of the allegation.

“As part of the information we have gathered throughout this process, we were made aware of an allegation from 2013 in which authorities took no action against Adrian,” the team said in a statement. “We will defer any further questions to Adrian’s attorney Rusty Hardin.”

I am tardy to the party. Philip Rivers been praying on the field since he was playing high school football in Alabama (Athens), prayed when he came to NC State, and he prayed on the field on Sunday. I saw him. He leads them. He is a staunch Catholic.

Leave RGIII and his shirt the heck alone NFL.
