No he wouldn't have, there are men in their kids' lives where the woman is dealing with suspect men and he doesn't know - same way men can go out and deal with women and have kids their SO doesn't know abt, especially at an age before a child can communicate whether anything is wrong
Finally......someone who has experienced a lil bit of life......Even if AP knew for the past 3 months about the kid, there is no way he could just jump feet first in this thing blindly.....You gotta break it down to your family at home and figure out how to deal with the fallout.....If the family can come to terms with it, now I got to get my legal team involved and decide on custody\financial assistance, after that is square, then I can start working on a relationship with the boy......Things like this are a process.....sometimes a long one
Fall out???? that nikka ain't married and can have almost any woman he wants. He knows that bird isn't going anywhere and wouldnt leave the life she has with him. You mean to tell me that it was long process for him to actually go see the kid but was able to see him within a day when the story leaks out....sounds like he just wanted to protect his image

I could have sworn he was married or engaged...Maybe I need to double check that...Is it far fetched that he dropped everything to see the kid because it was gonna be the only time he saw him alive?

Word. Just like I could've seen my kid whenever I wanted when his mother was withholding him from me, ignoring my calls/texts/emails, and threatening to call the police when I showed up to her crib.

Then I had to take her to court, which was an 8 months process.

My point is that there is an 85% chance that AP handled everything improperly, but we don't know that for sure, so we are premature in calling him a deadbeat or asking why he didn't know what the child's living situation was like.
And there's a chance he didn't. And you are different from a NFL Superstar. There is a 98% chance she would have let him since she was looking for support anyway

Who knows what his or the lady's mindset was? There is too much about this story we don't know to be passing judgment on AP.

:ohhh: I guess he could have had a better idea about his child's surroundings, had he actually went down there to visit him but I guess he didnt have time for that :beli:
What other than idealistic logic makes you think even a visit would reveal this guy? So he goes down there, buy some toys, goes to the water park, makes a play fort back at the apartment, tucks him in for bed, and leaves...so now he knows the BM is dating a known abuser? :stopitslime:

Or was he supposed to demand dinner with the boyfriend? He's gonna go down there and ruffle shyt up with a woman he's not involved with? Does the woman even bring up the guy? Do all bad people appear like the horrible person they are at all times? Stop reaching

It is a lot that could have been done and he had enough time to do it. The Vikings had a bye week earlier this month from Sep 30-Oct 5. He could have easily gone to meet his son and talk and find out what his needs were. The fact that he didn't shows that he didn't care. He only showed up to the hospital for his image and to tell them to pull the plug and then leave before they actually did (so he can be free of the situation).

So a two year old is going to articulate what his needs are? Had this guy abused the kid before - I seriously don't know - and in the case the he side does a two year old remember this in a meaningful way? Have you even talked a fukking two year old, they can't say much of shyt other than mommy and they want something. Smh @ "find out what his needs are". Where does he account for this time with his girl? Again, you're being illogical and idealistic

Peter vecesy already answered this, a life and death situation, and him being a spiritual person, regardless of his shortcomings, could've led him down there -any kid beaten within inches of their life warrants a visit, same way someone living across the country might rush home to see their grandma if she's in the hospital versus her not being a concern otherwise. We're human and most of us take our time here for granted

3-4 months is not a long time for dude to deal with finding out about a new son,

Of course I dont expect a 2 year old to be able to articulate his needs, I was referring to the mother. The reason he even found out he was the father was because she needed child support and had to paternity test someone she thought was the father and found out he wasnt the father. So then she had AP tested and he was the father. So she did all of that because she needed help. So if he cared then he would have handled the situation and helped out. Lets be real, when you have millions of dollars, you can provide for a nanny or something so your BM won't leave your kid with every tom dikk and harry

If AP knew about the child in training camp he has some of this blame. However, he has the smallest slice of the three. Right now since he is a public figure, he is the window into the whole case and he has handled it poorly.

So if he paid child support, it's her who is responsible for hiring a nanny, using it for an apartment, etc. even if he got her a nanny, does that mean she won't date this guy? Just quit already. She coulda had everything paid for and still dated a scumbag. I can't judge AD for not having a relationship with a kid he's known abt for a few months, like I've said, I've seen this in real life and know men handle it differently, but if he paid his support as was requested, then she shoulda been using the money for her kid's betterment.
