Adrain Peterson's son beaten to death by his mother 27-year old boyfriend, Joseph Robert Patterson. Patterson has been arrested on felony battery and assault charges in the child's death, according to Sioux Falls, SD police. Two days after death of his son, Peterson chose the route to play Sunday, rushing for a season-low 62 yards and caught 3 passes for 21 yards in the Vikings 35-10 loss the Carolina Panthers. Multiple posts were uploaded on Instagram, in support of Peterson and his family. Peterson confirmed the child was his in a tweet Friday. He said that another child Adrain Peterson Jr., lives with him and is fine, and asked people to stop distributing pictures of that child. This story truly saddens me. The fact that someone could do this to a child truly astonishes me. My mom has lost three of her sons so I have seen the impact that losing a child can have a parent but everyone is different. Either way a child has gone home to soon I just wish that the world can one day stop being so cruel and get it together.

Please world. Stop the madness. The world could be a much better place if we all just took an extra minute to ask ourselves if we really want to do what we are about to do. Whatever happened to thinking before acting???!!!!
