[SHOCKING] Minnesota Vikings' Adrian Peterson's Son in Critical Condition After Being Severely Beaten by Mother's Boyfriend [VIDEO FOOTAGE INSIDE] [WATCH NOW]

Minnesota Vikings' Adrian Peterson is going through it today. Peterson has a 2-year old son with his estranged baby's mother who we still don't have any information on. The baby's mother of course became involved with another man by the name of Joshua Patterson.

TMZ has reported that Patterson beat Peterson's 2-year old son so bad that he is now in critical condition. The police did apprehend the monster and he is now facing charges of aggravated felony assault and battery of an infant.

Peterson's son suffered from head injuries and was unresponsive after being rushed to the hospital on Wednesday at 5:46 PM. Medics determined the 2-year olds injuries were consistent with those of abuse.

The "child abuser" 27-year old Joshua Patterson appeared in court today and the judge set his bond at $750K. Peterson has made statements to the press asking for privacy during this trying time.
