What is wrong with those people. Beating a disabled child.

When the guy doing the beating, refers to it as a beating, then I think it qualifies.

Quote :

"Sometimes, a man is so far ahead of his time that it is hard for his contemporaries to understand him. Judge Adams is such a man. As a judge, he is light years ahead of his time. His genius may not be understood for many years. It may not be apparent to us mere mortals. His work will be the subject of scholarly legal articles and study for many years. Some of his pearls of judicial wisdom follow: 1) Family law often concerns itself with the amorphous concept of "best interests of the child." Some have complained that this term is too undefined to provide reasonable guidance in judicial proceedings. Well, Judge William Adams has come to the rescue. We still do not know all the contours of the best interests of the child but we do know thanks to Judge William Adams the mental health of the primary child care provider is not relevant to "best interests." Thus, it doesn't matter with respect to the best interests of the child, if the child care provider is homicidal, psychotic, suicidal, and hullucinatory, among other things. In other words, a homicidal, hullucinatory, psychotic psychotic is just as good as someone who is not. 2) Naturally, from principle no. 1, it therefor follows that any discovery into the mental health history of a primary health care provider is irrelevant and should not be allowed. 3) Children should never be believed. This includes a child who everybody describes as bright and honest. If a child says he was abused, he should be ignored. If a parent doesn't ignore the child, the parent should be sanctioned (and her lawyer). 4) Similarly, if child says he has been abused, the alleged abuser should be asked whether he abused the child. If the alleged abuser denies the abuse, the issue should be dropped. 5) If the child says various people were present during the abuse, then those people have no relevance as witnesses. If the child's parents attempts to question them, she should be sanctioned (and her lawyer also). 6) If the child says he was abused at a restaurant, but people who abused the child deny having been at the restaurant at the relevant time, it is irrelevant that two waiters at the restaurant say they were there. 7) All children are fantasizers all the time; thus, anyone, who believes a child is frivolous and must be sanctioned. 8) If there is no videotape of something, it should not be presented in Court. No videotape, then it didn't happen. 9) Written communication don't count; only phone calls. 10) If a witness he doesn't have a clue what the charts he present mean or how they were created, then this means the charts are conclusive proof. These are just a few "Judge William Adams" pearls of judicial wisdom. His wisdom is too vast to be learned in just one lesson."

This is sick. Anyone who jokes about this kind of abuse needs to step back for a second and try to imagine what that girl went through.

But for a normal kid, thats perfectly acceptable, even encouraged

That is under no circumstances discipline. That is an adult striking a child out of anger rather than an attempt to correct behavior. I was spanked as a child and I believe that there are circumstances that warrant spanking, but its immature, lacking in self control, and taking an easy out to beat a child of that age for such an infraction.

11/1/2011 10:30:10 PM

one of my Marines got into some trouble for spanking his daughter with a belt. I can't say with 100% certainty that there was nothing more to the story, but he was a pretty laid back dude and focused on his family above anything else, without a doubt.

CPS didn't take his daughter or anything, but they had at least weekly meetings and pretty much called it physical abuse. Our XO pretty much agreed that spanking with a belt was unacceptable.


Shit, I got my ass beaten with a belt many times growing up. I dont think that sPanking is the most appropriate punishment most of the time, but using a belt certainly isn't abuse.

Whatever. I got hit so much harder than that growing up that a beating like that wouldn't be in my top 50. Parents hit kids. Its a fact of life. Don't tell others how to discipline their children.

11/1/2011 10:32:05 PM

Not to mention, holding up your fist to a child and threatening them can be just as traumatizing.. This is all about power and control.

Ok, watched it now. That's abuse for sure. Not because of the belt--because it was abusive.

11/1/2011 10:41:02 PM

something's fishy here, i can't put my finger on it.

11/1/2011 10:43:33 PM

Yeah, it seems kinda fake to me.

Also, kids should murder their parents way more often.

11/1/2011 10:51:57 PM

There is a huge difference between a spaking and this...

You spank a child with an open hand on the butt or upper legs. That way you know exactly how hard you are hitting your child. You don't use other objects because there is no way to know how hard you are hitting your child. You don't spank your child to cause them harm, you spank them so that they will associate discomfort with doing wrong. There is really no need to spank a child after age 10...after that age it's more of a punishment to ground or take things away.

That man was beating his child out of anger and taking his frustrations out on his child. That's now how you get a point across...that's how you get a child that starts doing drugs to escape the fear of her parents.

11/1/2011 10:54:18 PM

I can't find a news story about this incident.

11/1/2011 10:55:59 PM

We've caught the very beginning of the life of a viral video. Just give it time.

The Wiki links the guy's govt. website and I'm pretty sure that it's the same guy in the video. I don't think that it's fake. This guy is really going to catch hell (and rightly so).

I sympathise with her, but:

1) Downloading music is illegal. As a Judge, he would have known this. Remember this is 2003/4, when the RIAA was suing people left right and centre. One lawsuit and he loses his entire career, and then where is his family?
2) Limited corporal punishment is an acceptable form of discipline for young children and teenagers.
* Not defending the level he went to; it was a bit far; but did she break bones? No. She made a bit of a meal of it, too; "bend over the bed" "NOOOOOO" "bend over the bed" <refuses for 5 minutes>.
3) We don't get the context from that video. Had she been told to stop before and decided not to? If so, it's a discipline problem; children need to do as their parents say. If they don't, the specific offence is less important than the defiance.

I do agree that in the heat of the moment he went a bit too far with the force he used, HOWEVER, discipline is lost in todays generation -- which includes me -- and the demonizing of corporal punishment for discipline is a contributing factor.

11/1/2011 10:58:44 PM

in almost all cases, when you have to bring in an object to spank, it is abuse.

an open hand slap or two on the butt is fine. but whipping with a belt? c'mon man!

"2004: Arkansas 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"

" It's abuse because she didn't hold still. Your whole generation is fucked, and it's my generations fault for being soft and ignoring you brats. When I was younger we could be smacked up in school by teachers for punishment. Chewing gum in class- go to alternative learning center. Smart mouth a teacher? Detention. Twice? spanked. You fuckers feel overly enabled in your bullshit because you've never had restraints placed on you. Party without limits. Do whatever you want, because your parents who don't pay attention to you won't care. Abuse is if Judge Cocksmack walked in for *no* reason and started beating the shit out of his kid. He's beating her for a reason, a god damned good one, and she's lucky that he loves her enough to do it. It's hard to understand when you're younger the concept of love=punishment. It seemed fucked-whacked when I was a kid. Now I understand. "
