Unbelievable footage I hope they throw the book at him .Bas*ard.

Horrible fecker, i bet he was taking his daily frustration out on the poor girl....

Oh sheet, that made me feel quite sick. 

What got me was the mother taking over.

 Words fail me. That made me feel really sick.

What gets me is some of the comments, condoning the parents actions 

Jesus - I only watched a few seconds and I didn't read the text yet.   'Lose his licence', sweet?    Please someone tell me he's been locked up?

well done to the daughter for having the courage to film and upload it

OMG . I feel physically sick after watching that - absolutely terrible - that poor, poor child. Hope he gets locked up for a long time.

Of course he won't get locked up or pay for it in any way, because he is a top authority figure in our society.  If it had been a jobless dad on a council estate, they would throw the book at him, but because it's someone nobby and influential, someone will cover his back and help him get away with it. 

And even if he DOES get done or go to jail, he will come out and get a huge book deal out of it, do the rounds on the chat shows and live on the profits and the fat pension he will have.

He won't get locked up, because there is a statute of limitations of five years. http://www.guardian.co.uk/worl...adams-beats-daugther

This man has been judging child abuse cases?!!! 

  See what I mean though Bliz?  these kind of BASTARDS always get away with stuff?  Would your hubby or dad get away with this??? or my hubby or brother? NO!  This is one of the things that is rotten in society, big wigs and nobby people, and influential folk, getting away with bastard EVERYTHING!

I don't know what the law is here, but I'm pretty sure he would be locked up, whatever his job.

The law in the US varies from state to state, apart from Federal Law, but I see no reason why they would have a statute of limitations on a crime such as this. There is video evidence, after all. The trouble is, some 'good Christian folk' in the US think that this is reasonable child chastisement, 'Spare the rod and spoil the child' etc. 

So true,you just know had he done that to an animal there would be outrage.

The man should automatically be removed from the bench at the very least.

I hope they lock the f***er up & throw away the key

makes me so angry

I hope he gets his comeuppance the mother was just as bad aswell

Yes, the mother was just as bad... but he probably knocks the shit out of her as well when she doesn't do as she is told - so this behaviour is 'acceptable' to her.  In their world, women and children should be kept down and kept in their place. 

I just watched it and I'm horrified. 

I notice the mother said she was manipulated into helping because of systematic abuse towards her throughout the marriage!  I didn't see any encouragement from the husband there - she did it all by herself but that's not to say she didn't have an abusive marriage.

As for him, well words fail me   He really is a vile, jealous bully who has no place being in an official office.  If I'm not wrong, American judges are elected?  If so, then we can only hope that the good people of that part of Texas do not re-elect him again.  As the statute of limitations has run out, there's no chance of a prosecution.  One would hope that his peers and other law enforcement find a way to bust his sorry behind because an abuser like him can't go very long without finding another victim to attack 

I can't watch  

Please don't watch, if you don't want to see some of the actual beating. 

I managed a few seconds ... horrible, couldn't watch any more

This has been doing the rounds for the last couple of days and I also found it deeply upsetting to watch all of it. I wish the young lady peace of mind, and the Judge can go to hell!

This has disturbed me beyond belief, both parents should be arrested for child abuse.

After the few seconds I watched (I felt bad and guilty for watching at all).......This should be in the hands of the judicial system and not on the internet.....

Leaves me feeling uncomfortable.

I dont think it should be hidden .

He doesnt think he has done anything wrong,he lost his temper and said sorry.
