Via ESPN:
The CBS affiliate cites text messages that reportedly include a photo of the son with an apparent head wound covered by bandages.
The Houston TV station reported the mother of the 4-year-old — from a different mother than the child he stands charged with abusing — filed a report with Child Protective Services but no charges have been filed.
The text exchange was as follows, according to KHOU-TV:
Mother: “What happened to his head?”
Peterson: “Hit his head on the Carseat.”
Mother: “How does that happen, he got a whoopin in the car.”
Peterson: “Yep.”
Mother: “Why?”
Peterson: “I felt so bad. But he did it his self.”
According to the report, Peterson then goes on to say he was disciplining his son for cursing at a sibling, though how specifically the child was wounded wasn’t made clear.
Mother: “What did you hit him with?”
Peter never directly answered, the report said, but later replied: “Be still n take ya whooping he would have saved the scare (scar). He aight (all right).”
