Adrian Peterson didn’t meet his 2-year-old son until the boy was already in a coma, Bobby Ruffin, who says he raised the child, claims in a Facebook post.
Minnesota Vikings star running back Adrian Peterson is the NFL MVP, but as a father he seems to be more like MIA.
Peterson is talented at fathering children out of wedlock — he reportedly is the father of a 3-month-old girl born to a woman who works as a waitress at a popular Minneapolis club, TMZ.com reported Tuesday.

Peterson hands a football to his son Adrian Jr. at the end of practice at NFL football training camp on July 29, weeks before the tragedy involving another son, who has been identified as Tyrese Robert Ruffin.
Peterson also found out recently that he had a 2-year-old son with a different woman — a child who was allegedly beaten by his mother’s boyfriend and died on Friday. The running back only learned the boy was his after submitting to a DNA test a few months ago, the Daily Mail reported.

Peterson, who is not married, has two daughters, ages 6 and 3 months, and two 2-year-old sons — one of whom was allegedly beaten by his mother’s boyfriend and died Friday.
Peterson’s 3-month-old girl is living with her mother, whom Peterson met when she served him as a waitress in the VIP area of Seven, a Minneapolis steakhouse and sushi joint rolled into a nightclub, TMZ reported. It was not immediately clear if Peterson was still involved in the waitress’ life. Her name was not revealed.
Peterson, who is not married, has two other children: a 2-year-old son and a 6-year-old daughter.

A man claiming to have raised little Tyrese says that Peterson, seen here accepting a hug on Oct. 11, doesn’t deserve the sympathy he is receiving over the child’s death.
New details emerged Tuesday about the doomed life of the Peterson spawn who died last week in a South Dakota hospital. Sioux Falls police identified the 2-year-old boy as Tyrese Robert Ruffin. Police say he died two days after being hospitalized with severe head injuries.

Joseph Patterson is accused of beating Adrian Peterson’s 2-year-old son to death.
The man who claims to have raised Tyrese, Bobby Ruffin, slammed Peterson’s fans for sympathizing with the gridiron great, who is sometimes called “AP” because of his initials.
“I’m sick of the ‘poor AP s—!,” Bobby Ruffin ranted on his Facebook page. “He didn’t know or even meet my son. Sorry for the outburst but put yourself in my place.”
The mother of AP’s fourth child first met the NFL star while serving him as a VIP waitress at a place called Seven — a steakhouse, sushi joint and ultralounge all wrapped in one.
The mom of Peterson’s 3-month-old girl mourned on her Facebook page the day the 2-year-old boy died, TMZ reported.

“Today has been a long day finding out my (daughter’s) brother passed away and knowing that she never even got to meet him,” she posted.
Peterson decided to play in a game two days after his 2-year-old son died, because, he said, football “gets me through the tough times.” He is expected to fly to South Dakota to attend his son’s funeral later this week, sources told the Mail.
The man who allegedly beat Peterson’s boy, Joseph Robert Patterson, 27, was jailed after being charged last week with aggravated assault and aggravated battery. Prosecutors plan to ask a grand jury to consider more serious charges, The Associated Press reported.
