Good riddance too. Not really late, as this is about the official response to the video so yeah.

[QUOTE=Wilford Brimley;33096681]Late.[/QUOTE] Wow, thanks for the useful post that we don't have a rating for!
Here's the video if anyone's interested. [url]http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=006_1320194791[/url]
Wasn't the video of him beating his daughter only put up yesterday? Really awesome seeing things happen so fast.
Internet justice
Good. Watching that video, I have never been so god-damn mad at a human being before. Nice to see that SOMETHING is being done about it.
My father beat me like that as a child all the time. So did my aunt, uncle, grand parents, and so on. So did all of my friends and other young cousins and such. I see nothing wrong with what he did to his child. It was punishment for misbehaving. Although all of that just cause she downloaded some shit and she has a disability is a bit excessive. I only got whoopings like that for stealing and lying as a child. Thats normal Texas parenting if you ask me, as it says so in the bible.

What a fucking piece of shit. Poor girl.

"She is disobediant so we must beat her harder" What the [B][I][U]FUCK?[/U][/I][/B] [editline]3rd November 2011[/editline] I'd never say this lightly, but people like him need to die.
[quote]Adams is a family law judge, who presides over child abuse cases, The AP reported. [/quote] Irony [quote]When confronted by a reporter for local KRIS-TV, the judge said: "It happened years ago. I apologized.” [/quote] "Hey, I assaulted someone, I said sorry though so it's alright!"
Does anyone else see the irony in the fact that it's the internet that's basically taking this bastard down, and that using the internet is the reason he was angry at his daughter in the first place?

As a kid I've gotten spankings and honestly I think it's an effective way to keep your kids in check but, to an extent. I was uncomfortable watching this, he's constantly cursing at her, unrelentingly spanking her as she cries, he's not punishing her anymore he's just being cruel. Why was this being filmed? Did the girl film it?
[QUOTE=RayvenQ;33097765]There's a difference between corporal punishment for discipline and beating hte crap out of your child is two different things, especially when you continue doing so while they are screamign and crying, is excessive.[/QUOTE] The bottom line is that BOTH are WRONG and INEFFECTIVE and absolutely no parent should be doing either one.

[QUOTE=Lord of Ears;33097865]except it just makes your children hate you but yeah she filmed it[/QUOTE] My parents spanked me, no where near this but, if I did something way out of line I'd get a good whack in the bottom. I love my parents :( Once your kid is in the teens though, hitting them is just a bad idea.
[QUOTE=Bones85;33097860]The bottom line is that BOTH are WRONG and INEFFECTIVE and absolutely no parent should be doing either one.[/QUOTE] No they aren't, corporal punishment done properly is effective. Done badly, its horrible and fear inducing. We've not come so far from our evolutionary origins that a short, sharp shock will not give us a clue that something we're doing isn't good for us. Sadly, corporal punishment is more oft done wrong than it is right. But go on, what is a right and effective way then?

I could say the same to you. I can only give my experience of recieving corporal punishment from my parents as a child, which is, I'm entirely fine, love my parents, not mental issues of any sort, and, of my own volition, agree with what they did. If that's ineffective.... Just remembe, it's only recently in human histor that corporal punishment punishment has been deemed morally wrong. Go read Starship Troopers, Heinlein puts it across far better than I can.
[QUOTE=RayvenQ;33098178] Go read Starship Troopers, Heinlein puts it across far better than I can.[/QUOTE] Are you seriously citing fiction in a debate on psychology How about [url=http://www.apa.org/news/press/releases/2002/06/spanking.aspx]I cite the American Psychological Association[/url] instead. The entire article is summed up at the end with: [release]"Until researchers, clinicians, and parents can definitively demonstrate the presence of positive effects of corporal punishment, including effectiveness in halting future misbehavior, not just the absence of negative effects, we as psychologists can not responsibly recommend its use," Gershoff writes.[/release] And I'll take the opinion of psychologists over what you heard in Starship Troopers.

I'm not citing a piece of fiction as proof at all, I'm saying, he put the same viewpoint across as I only more eleoquently. But I'm pretty sure, that despite our differing viewpoints, we can both say that what happened in the video was downright abusive and excessive.
