No words. Unreal

Whenever I was told to go stand int he corner until I was sorry, it had no affect on me. I knew if I made it convincing I'd be out of the corner in 2 minutes.



Now when the old man whipped my ass, yeah the threat of that got me to straighten up and fly right. I am the believer that you have to show children there are repercussions for their actions. I got lucky I learned it quick but timeout isn't a repercussion, getting your ass whipped is.





Think of this as adults, there has had to be someone you just wanted to beat the **** out of for whatever reason. You don't do it because you'll go to jail. It is the same concept you know there are repercussions for your actions.

I don't know about that. As a PARENT, I never beat, spanked, whipped, abused my son and he's turned out pretty awesome.



Any parent that does that is an asshole. It's not needed if you are a real parent.

Texas panel investigates video of judge beating daughter



Christopher Sherman/ Associated Press



McAllen, Texas— As his adult daughter took to national television, the career of the Texas judge now infamous for the violent beating he gave her as a teenager began to look less certain Thursday.



The State Commission on Judicial Conduct announced that it had opened an investigation into the video, now viewed more than 2.4 million times on YouTube, that shows Aransas County Court-at-Law Judge William Adams beating his then 16-year-old daughter with a belt for using an illegal file-sharing program.



Police said Thursday that the judge won't face criminal charges.



Judge Adams likely would have been charged with causing injury to a child or other assault-related offenses for the 2004 beating, but the five-year statutes of limitations expired, Rockport Police Chief Tim Jayroe said.



Hillary Adams, now 23, posted the 8-minute clip on YouTube last week.



Judge Adams, 51, issued a three-page statement Thursday saying his daughter posted the clip to get back at him for telling her he would be reducing the amount of financial support he gives her and taking away her Mercedes. He told Corpus Christi television station KZTV on Wednesday that the video "looks worse than it is," that he had already apologized to his daughter and that he was just disciplining his child for stealing.



Hillary Adams says her parents were angry because she had downloaded pirated content online, and that she turned on the camera because she sensed something was going to happen.



Judge Adams, who presides over child abuse cases, is being investigated over the video by the state's judicial conduct commission and the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, which on Thursday requested he be removed from its cases until the probe concludes.

Adams's lawyer, William Dudley, said in a written statement that Hillary Adams's explantion of her decision to share the video "have been confusing and hollow ... Very few people find palatable her claim that it was to 'help' her father."



Before the video's release William Adams had threatened to stop supporting her financially because of her lack of achievement in her work and studies. "Hillary warned her father if he reduced her financial support and took away her Mercedes automobile, which her father had provided, he would live to regret it," Dudley said. "The post was then uploaded."



Hillary Adams had played up her cerebral palsy when she was actually "highly functional".



"Judge Adams is confident that when the dust settles and international media attention has passed ... it will be concluded that Hillary Adams's actions in 2011 were misguided and misleading."

Of course he turned out awesome. He just plays video games. He doesn't have time to act up as he's too busy playing Tetris or Pitfall, or whatever those crazy kids play nowadays.

I think he turned out awesome due to his parents. But thanks.



When and if you are ever a parent let me know how much physical abuse it takes to get your children to do the right thing.
