Some local news channel there asked him about it and he confirmed that it is him beating her, and that in his mind he did nothing wrong. "It's not as bad as it looks on tape." He says it was for her taking her mother's car without permission.
His now-ex wife has posted on her facebook page saying that his physical and emotional abuse was the reason she divorced him, and it was typical of him.
Judge Videotaped Beating Daughter | Corpus Christi, TX | KRISTV.com |
Your experience is disgraceful. Sorry.
I agree with you. I used to smack my kids fingers when they touched things that were dangerous or that they could break. Once I realised it was no deterrence I stopped. It was either hit them harder and hurt them or try something else. Hitting anyone to cause pain or injury is assault. And it is generally done when the person who is doing it is angry and maybe even out of control themselves. Therefore it is no different from punching and adult when they annoy to you or do something you think is wrong. Well a bit different because the child is your child and if you are like me the most important person in your life. Beating the shit out of your child has been justified by those who do it for any number of reasons, “never did me any harm” but that is just how those in positions of unassailable power abuse it in any manner of ways.
Story on American today show this morning with the girl herself. Apparently she has cerebral palsy also. It was over her downloading music from an illegal website.
Cheap, fast, reliable.....you only get to choose two.
Didn't show any symptoms in the interview, I'm somewhat skeptical about the motive behind posting the video. Not to defend the arsehole father but I wouldn't be surprised if it were some kind of blackmail.

The judge has now been suspended, which is good news.
Judge suspended after video of him beating daughter goes viral
Words cannot describe how much I want to punch that guy in the face, seriously I'm shaking with rage just from watching it. If my old man did that to me - Hell, I've been spanked with a belt before but nothing to that extent - I'd go straight to the police and have him locked up, then again her parents probably beat her before, during, and after they told her not to tell anyone.
Man I want to punch that f-ckwit in the mouth.
Edit: "After reviewing the investigation conducted by local police, the Aransas County district attorney said too much time had passed to bring charges against William Adams."
Get f-cked! Wtf is wrong with the legal system these days?

It's appalling, I can't believe anyone would beat a 16 year old girl like that.
Next time that poor excuse for a human gets the urge to beat someone, he can be directed to all 6"5' and 100kgs of me, he can bring all the belts he wants - might make it a fair fight.
Seriously, what's this b.s. about too much time passing? I wasn't aware that if you avoided capture for 7 years you get rewarded with freedom.

It's called the statute of limitation. It means that you cannot be charged with certain crimes if a particular amount of time has elapsed between the crime occuring and the charges being laid. I believe there are restrictions such as, the statute does not apply in a case where the offender is only identified after X number of years, or for particularly violent crimes like murder. In this case the victim could identify her attacked, but took something like 7? years to bring it to public attention.
