In the letter, sent to ABC7 news partner the Daily Herald, Peterson talks mostly about his children.
"All my children are exceptional kids just wanting a happy childhood after their little worlds were turned upside down almost three years ago. It's not bad enough their father is being held unlawfully after the state appealed a Will County judge's decision to not allow bad evidence at trial, but now my children's well being and security is now in jeopardy again," Peterson wrote.
