The boy was transported to a Sioux Falls, SD, hospital after sustaining injuries he suffered at the hands of Peterson’s baby mama’s boyfriend, Joseph Patterson.. The kid was sadly taken off life support at the family’s request.
After learning of the tragedy, Peterson jetted off to the hospital to meet his brain dead son, for the first time.. The boy pictured above is not the boy who died.
