It'd be really cool if we could be limited to one serious terrible event at a time NFL.

So lets see what Goodell does to try to prove that he really cares about this kind of stuff. Season suspension or lifetime ban?

The way I'm parsing it, it seems like it was his child who lives with his mother and was visiting him.

Here is a link to a guy who says he is part of the Texas Child Abuse system.

https://www.reddit.com/r/fantasyfootball/comments/2g8c81/adrian_peterson_arrested/ckgm9c5

quote:

Texas Child Abuse detective here, going to provide the little insight I can.
All of the following is based upon the information from sources being accurate

The assault/injury to the child occurred some time ago and a report was filed.

That report was forwarded to the Grand Jury as a "Grand Jury Referral." Basically that means that no charges have been filed, but the prosecutor (and possibly a detective) want to present the evidence to a jury and ask them if they believe it is something that someone should be arrested for.

The case was presented once, No-Billed (meaning not enough evidence to justify arrest or trial) The prosecutor presented it again. Typically this is only done if there is new evidence to be presented, but prosecutors can be sneaky and resubmit it to the grand jury after a new jury is seated (In my county, the jury is replaced every 3 months)

Once this jury true-billed the charge, a warrant was issued for AD and a bond was set by a judge to accompany the warrant.

AD and his attorneys more than likely agreed to turn himself in, he'll post bond immediately and spend zero time in jail outside of the booking/processing

This will go to trial or be plead out, but I'd be surprised if it happens during this football season. Typically our cases don't go to trial for a year or more.

Injury to a Child has different felony levels based upon the injuries the child suffered or the circumstances behind the injuries. This one is being reported as Injury to a Child/reckless/negligence. That is what we call a State Jail felony. State Jail Felonies carry a maximum of 2 years in jail and are typically plead out to probation. The weird thing is if this was a case of him "beating" his child it would have likely been filed as Injury to a Child/knowing/intentional which is either a Felony 3 (2-10 years) or a Felony 1 ( (Felony 1 if there is intentional "serious bodily injury or death") Most of the time the reckless/negligence comes when a parent over-disciplines a child by spanking them with a belt or extension cord leaving pattern bruises and cuts on the child's body. I would suspect that was the case here.

EDIT: There is a Injury to a Child/Negligence/Reckless that is a Felony 2. However that requires serious bodily injury or death that was caused by negligence or reckless behavior. If that were the case here, it probably would have been indicted the first time it was presented. Going to wager this is the state jail felony variety.
Of course all of this is speculation based on the current rumors and my personal job experience.

This is all really interesting, especially because Oregon (where I work) operates entirely different than Texas in situations like these.

Just not intentionally.

You'd think a man who just lost a child to abuse would know how fragile they are... If this is true then I hope he is the first to go under the new league ban for violence.

My mom used to threaten to get the switch when I was a kid. I didn't know what it was but it sounded scary.

My bad, read that wrong. Still, stop loving doing stupid violent poo poo especially "switching" kids.

I'm sure tons of people will come out of the woodwork to say "hey I was beaten/spanked/switched as a kid and i'm ok what's wrong?" but come the gently caress on

Think like a flexible tree branch. It snaps and hurts like poo poo when you get hit with it.

Also I just saw the pictures and fuuuuck
