Damn, this video is pretty harrowing. It was recorded in 2004, and is only just now coming to light. Pretty fucked up stuff.
2004: Aransas County Court-At-Law Judge William Adams took a belt to his own teenage daughter as punishment for using the internet to acquire music and games that were unavailable for legal purchase at the time. She has had ataxic cerebral palsy from birth that led her to a passion for technology, which was strictly forbidden by her father's backwards views. The judge's wife was emotionally abused herself and was severely manipulated into assisting the beating and should not be blamed for any content in this video. The judge's wife has since left the marriage due to the abuse, which continues to this day, and has sincerely apologized and repented for her part and for allowing such a thing, long before this video was even revealed to exist. Judge William Adams is not fit to be anywhere near the law system if he can't even exercise fit judgement as a parent himself. Do not allow this man to ever be re-elected again. His "judgement" is a giant farce. Signed, Hillary Adams, his daughter.

Nahhh but really this is fucked up. I cant believe a JUDGE would beat a RETARDED kid. Thats just fucked up.
She used to be a part of it, the text says. So maybe he beat her and she just accepted it.
Daily Mail coverage of where things are going.
That guy went way overboard, and without even having a good reason. And then the mom went and got in on it. :facepalm: I really feel sorry for that girl, I'm sure that wasn't the only time she got beat like that. I hope that guy ends up in prison and gets beat the same way.

EDIT: again, don't take it the wrong way. I am just saying that it's normal here.

I am not against physical discipline, but that was way over the top. The judge has some very serious issues - as TDR said he should be disbarred and jailed. I only hope American prisons are the same as British ones in that if the general prison population here get ahold of a child abuers, peado or rapist, nasty things happen. This man needs to learn the lesson that just becaus you are bigger and stronger, it does not mean you have to rule with violence and intimidation.
Of course, with him being a judge, if he were to get prison, he would be segregated.
It's truly frightening how these people are in such powerful authority positions.
Those endless nights in the closet...
