KHOU-TV in Houston reported Monday night that Vikings running back Adrian Peterson was accused of injuring another son in June 2013. According to the report, Peterson allegedly disciplined his son for "cussing to a sibling," resulting in an injury to the 4-year-old boy's head.

The boy's mother reportedly filed a report with Texas Child Protective Services. The results of any investigation are unclear and no charges have been filed in the case. NFL Media has not yet been able to reach the Vikings or Peterson's attorney for comment.

In a text to NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport, Peterson's lawyer Rusty Hardin wrote, "The allegations were made over a year ago to CPS and law enforcement and no action was taken. Plus there was an adult witness present in the car and she flatly denied that Adrian caused any injury to the boy."

This case is really a political matter, in that the activities in question were once quite normal.  It's really all about corporeal punishment and the transition from permissible to impermissible.  As Lakeoff would say, it's strict father versus a liberal nurturant parent model.

We tend to avoid criminalising politics.

At least that's the excuse they gave for not  prosecuting Dick Cheney. The 2013 incident has been effectively settled by pocket veto.  I doubt they will want to take this to trial either.  At least not in Texas.

Physically damaging a child has to be a criminal act. But as Orig Quill already stated, "We tend to avoid criminalising politics." Or We tend to avoid criminalising ANYONE connected to politics. This is the steadfast law of this corrupt world. Politicians and in most cases Judges, and the wealthy ALL adds up to get off on any crime free card.
