Private
Peterson is the father of two daughters and two sons. The youngest of his two sons, a two-year-old, was the victim of fatal abuse in October 2013 allegedly inflicted by his mother's partner.
Child abuse charges
On September 12, 2014 Peterson was approved by the Grand Jury of Montgomery County in Texas accused of negligent injury to a child. Then he was banned by the Vikings at least for the next game. Published photos showed welts on the legs of his four-year-old son, which probably came from a crop . The prosecution also accuses Peterson of injuring his son's back, buttocks and ankles. The Vikings announced a short time later that Peterson would participate in the game operation again for the next games and as long as the proceedings were ongoing. Public criticism of this decision, however, led them to announce two days later that Peterson would not be allowed to participate in any team activities during the trial. During the trial, Peterson pleaded guilty and avoided prison sentence. He was sentenced to eighty hours of community service and bears the court costs. On November 18, 2014, he was banned from the NFL for the remainder of the season without pay. On February 26, 2015, Peterson's suspension was overturned by a court following a joint lawsuit brought by Peterson and the National Football League Players Association (NFLPA).
