Adrian's Anguish

Photo from Khloe Kardashian's Instagram

For those of you who are unaware of the terrible tragedy that occurred this past weekend, NFL star Adrian Peterson had to say goodbye to his two-year-old son as he passed away last night after being beat to death. As awful as this situation was, the more awful aspect was that this picture above, was being circulated by the media as well as celebrities to depict that the boy in the picture was the young child who was killed. In actuality, the boy in this picture is Adrian Peterson Jr., which is not the child who was killed. As adorable as this photograph is, it is controversial and disrespectful to Adrian Peterson Jr who is still alive as well as to the young boy who lost his life. According to Peterson's Twitter, he stated that he is currently not posting any pictures of his son who passed away. He also tweeted, "We would like to pass this along isn the hopes that, if you have tweeted or re-tweeted any pictures of Peterson and Adrian, Jr., or posted them to other social media sites, that you take a moment to take them down out of respect for the families wishes." It was also heart warming to read another tweet of his which read, "The NFL is a fraternity of brothers and I am thankful for the tweets, phone calls and text messages from my fellow players. " This was certainly a terrible tragedy but Peterson is handeling it very respectfully and is just asking that people like Khloe Kardashian remove such pictures from social media sites.
