Judge beats the crap out of his daughter for going online and downloading

Without revealing to much eprosnall about me...I have provided foster care and volunteered in CAS environments and worked at group homes in order to help kids thata re part of the crown ward system....sometimes in Ontario a single incident of a hit form a parent with an object (deemed a weapon) will result in a visit (if reported say by a teacher noticing a welt) form CAS and a warning to the parents to never do that again.

The kind of incident in this video would result in the child being removed from the situation (police would be with CAS to do this), both parents charged and certainly the father getting jail time and dis-barred.

By the same token, if I had been a parent that had faced him in court on a child abuse charge etc, I would also be likely to try and claim a mis-trial of some sort as well (obviously I am not supportive of people doing this and having ended up in the court system) but that may be the other side of the coin as well

After being shown the video, this afternoon Judge Adams responded to the tape.

He said: 'It happened years ago.. I apologized. It's not as bad as it looks on tape.'

... wtf :Eek:

Perhaps it should be pointed out that this is another elected state judgeship. Hence other than the electoral process, and the legal requirements to hold the office there was no vetting the way there is in systems with appointed and confirmed judgeships.


Further, a couple of seemingly obvious comments: There is a huge difference between spanking a child and beating them (16 stokes) with a belt. By the time a person is 16 if you aren't able to work out parent - child differences via something other than corporal punishment you have true problems.

Saw the mother and daughter on Today show this morning. Tape is 7 yrs old, didn't get good answer as to why now? Mother on tape was not defending the daughter, in fact she told the daughter to take it like a 16 year old, WTF does that mean? Mother didn't have good answer as to why she didn't try to stop her husband beating the daughter. Weird, regardless, if the old man ever gets to prison for this he better watch out for the belt whipping from other inmates.

If nothing else, I hope it will lead other kids who are suffering from abuse to video tape it so the scumbags can be charged and convicted.

The title of this thread is misleading. The judge did not beat the crap out of his daughter. He whipped her with his belt. He did not punch her, backhand her, or beat her up. Kids or teens that are actually physically assaulted and beaten wind up with bruises, scars, broken bones, become runaways, and so forth.

The punishment did not fit her "crime" and she is too old to be given the belt. However, she provoked the situation by not turning around. He told her to turn around many times and she wouldn't do it which infuriated him further.

The judge has a temper and may not be fit to be a parent or judge, but people are making this bigger than it is.

Is there a bigger crime than abusing your child?

You don't think that belt did not leave bruises, welts and possible scars on her legs?

You don't think that repeated hitting someone with a object ie. the belt is not considered a beating?

Yes there is, abusing your child who has cerebral palsy.

What he did to his daughter, is the kind of punishment that has been deemed illegal in prisons for decades.

As for this comment she didn't turn around.

The mother stated she had already spanked her before the father was on the video.

The mother told her after the father left if she got on her stomach she would spank her once, which she did with the belt.. then her father returned, and what was he angry about now ?

"i didn't get my licks in"

And don't forget this comment from her when she wouldn't turn around for him the first time.

"Bend over or Ill spank you in the fucking face"

That is not discipline, that is a criminal act of threatening to do harm to someone.

Actually it almost made me throw up...frankly I can't recall seeing something this disturbing. Poor girl. Not sure if the verbal abuse is even worse than the physical, what a shame. Truly shocking that parents could do this. Wow.

The only reason I think the verbal could be worse is I suspect there has simply been more of it , and being told you are not good enough to live in this house can cut some very deep wouunds.

its amazing how brave the girl in the video is though... She has probably gotten abused before and just refuses to give in to the Dad's threats.

Hold on Rubmeister. Just because you don't like GG2 nuancing the situation does not make him a psychopath.

GG2... YOU are a textbook psychopath and if not already a violent criminal, rapist or murderer, will inevitably become one.

She is to blame by not turning around to get beaten?

Like a rape victim is to blame for fighting back?

I know that it's shocking for somebody like you who has lived his entire life in an ivory tower, but I've seen people get "beat the crap out of" and it looks different from what is in the video.

I'm not condoning the judge's actions. I also don't let emotions rattle my objectivity.

That was disgusting .. he deserves to go to jail.. is there any mention on the sister in the start of the video?
where is she ? was she abused as well?

Let's see now how many of his secretaries crawl out of the wood work! May be the guy likes disciplening things
On another yahoo news, it says that the daughter does not want her dad to be punished. Altight, point taken. What was the purpose of posting the f**** video?

Its not just the physical abuse but the damage done when a parent betrays the trust of a child and destroys the security of their world. The mental damage lives on far after the physical abuse heals.

How many of us got the beatings like this when you were a kid? I will admit, I got punish like the way she did too.
