There was very little public objection to Peterson&#8217;s decision. Some people were reluctant to voice an authentic opinion. Still, others sympathized with Peterson&#8217;s plight. He had never met the child. He&#8217;d only learned that the boy was his two months before the mother&#8217;s live-in boyfriend allegedly beat or shook the toddler, causing severe brain injuries leading to his death. We subsequently learned that Peterson, who is unmarried, may have as many as seven children by five women, one of his exes recently told TMZ.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fox sideline reporter Pam Oliver says today before the game that Adrian Peterson was &#8220;brokenhearted&#8221; over the death of his child three weeks ago.
