The mother of Adrian Peterson’s four-year old son whom he whooped with a stick is speaking out and she’s not happy.
According to a statement released by her attorney, the woman (whose name isn’t being given) is upset that photos of her son’s injuries, along with details of an ongoing investigation, were leaked to the public:
“My client, on behalf of herself and their son, wishes to express her extreme outrage at the invasion of their privacy that has occurred through the publication of highly confidential and private data obtained regarding them by the press without their permission or consent. My client is hurt and outraged that the press would publish throughout the world pictures of their minor son and publish statements allegedly made as part of the private and confidential criminal investigative file,” the statement said.
The fact that the photos were made public may be a criminal matter in itself, according to texas law.
“It is a violation of the law regarding the confidentiality of child abuse investigations,” said Phil Grant, the first assistant district attorney in Montgomery County.
Whoever leaked the photos and information regarding the child’s injuries could be subject to charges. It looks like the Adrian Peterson case will end up affecting more people than just Adrian Peterson.
