According to KHOU 11's Jeremy Rogalski, the four-year-old is by a different mother than the previously-alleged victim in Montgomery County, Texas:
As Rogalski reports, "the latest incident allegedly occurred last June, while the boy, who lives out of state, was visiting Peterson at his gated home in The Woodlands. A photo, allegedly texted by Peterson to the boy's mother, shows a head wound to the boy covered by two bandages. Other photos, allegedly taken weeks later, reveal a scar over his right eye."
The text messages in question shed some light onto the nature of what happened:
"Mother: "What happened to his head?"
Peterson: "Hit his head on the Carseat."
Mother: "How does that happen, he got a whoopin in the car."
Peterson: "Yep."
Mother: "Why?"
Peterson: "I felt so bad. But he did it his self."'
The text messages go on to indicate that Peterson was discipling his son for using curse words towards a sibling.
