Judge William Adams beats daughter for using the internet

Also, what a coincidence,

http://judge-william-adams.pissedconsumer.com/corrupt-judge-william-adams-aransas-20101208210581.html

Someone who would beat their daughter and visibly enjoy it on camera, would be caught up in this kind of shit, too.




There is a word that comes to mind when I see this kind of stuff. Yeah, you know what word I'm talking about.




It's called I-wanna-move-to-Holland-and-bang-hookers-and-smoke-weed

[Kenneth Kenstar]

The daughter's Youtube profile IS the one hosting the video in the topic.

She says she posted the video after her father was harassing her over the phone.

I really fucking hope this fucker begged her to take it down. Straight up just begged her and sobbed in apologies too many years too late.

He has apparently not shown up for work at all this week. I hope he blew his fucking brains out.

Oh, and I believe this is election year for this Judge!

[Kenneth Kenstar]

This is definitely abuse and I don't give a fuck what anyone says. Her mom is a guilty enabling whore, too. She sides with that piece of shit hitting HER daughter.

I absolutely do not comprehend a mother letting this happen to her child. People are so stupid.

No one should be beating on a 16 year old for downloading music on a fucking computer.

No decent parent enjoys punishing their child. "I haven't got my licks in yet!"

He blames the girl and a computer for his blatant overreaction and his total fucking ignorance.

He, himself a judge, knowing full well what he was doing was wrong and thinking a 16 year old is not rational enough or smart enough to see that this man is a weak, pathetic monster.

Did I mention the girl is disabled? Her motor skills are impaired due to a type of cerebral palsy.

So, let me stress that this JUDGE IN TEXAS BEAT HIS OWN DISABLED DAUGHTER OVER DOWNLOADING MUSIC.

Look how skinny his arms are. Look at his huge beer belly. I could kill this motherfucker. I really wish I could beat this motherfucker into submission with a crowbar.

This video makes me very angry.

Politically speaking, Texas is very Texas, however I'm sure this motherfucker is done for.

I'm sure this is very stressful for the daughter. This is part of her life she wanted to never relive. She dealt with this nonsense violence for years. I'm sure we'll see this girl on the TV Tube soon.

Judge William Adams responds

When asked if he thought the conduct in the video was excessive, Judge Adams said, "It's not as bad as it looks on tape."

Texas isn't full of cruel assholes like that Judge.

Yeah, executing a prisoner for murder is one thing.

But, beating your own disabled white daughter because she was downloading music?

No, trust me, Texans will not let this man have a judicial seat ever again.

Texans may have differing political opinions about the criminal system, but they are very compassionate people and I would trust Texans to get rid of a shit judge moreso than say New Yorkers.

[Leo]

I miss the old Kenny.

[Kenneth Kenstar]

You know, I actually debated with myself posting this video and being all like

I DONT SEE WHAT THE BIG DEAL IS

THE MAN IS A JUDGE AND I TRUST HIM TO KNOW WHAT HE IS DOING

OBVIOUSLY HIS LIBERAL DAUGHTER DESERVED THIS

SHE GREW UP TO BE A FURRY - SHE WASNT BEAT ENOUGH




But I can't even watch the whole video.

[Thunder Strike]

I watched the first minute and a half of the video before stopping it. Forget him not being a judge every again, why haven't charges been pressed against him?

[undiscoveredbum]

If she were black or hispanic Texas wouldn't give two fucks.

[Kenneth Kenstar]

Unlike other countries, America has a statute of limitations on child abuse.

Because the video was taken in 2004, I have no doubt he will not face criminal charges.

If she were black or hispanic Texas wouldn't give two fucks.

"Yes", they would give a fuck.

Racism is still alive, but you don't fuck with children in this country. Texans will not vote for a man who abuses children.

[undiscoveredbum]

You have much more faith in Texas than I do.

I just hope the internet hate machine destroys this guy's life more than the legal system ever could. But they'll probably just end up sending empty USPS boxes and people from craigslist to his house. >_>

[Pterrydactyl]

You know, I can understanding spanking a child for doing something wrong (that's without a belt or anything), but this goes way beyond anything that should be allowed.  I mean, what the shit?

If I lived in Texas... I don't even know what I'd do.

[Brian]

so, im looking up law on the matter, and i googled 'child abuse law' and look who the 4th link is...

from 1 hr ago http://www.smh.com.au/world/judge-who-handles-child-abuse-cases-under-the-spotlight-after-video-of-him-beating-his-daughter-goes-viral-20111103-1mwgy.html

Y hello there texas attorny general.

https://www.oag.state.tx.us/victims/childabuse.shtml

Anyone having cause to believe that a child's physical or mental health or welfare has been or may be adversely affected by abuse or neglect MUST report the case immediately to a state or local law enforcement agency or the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS).

DFPS has a toll-free, 24-hour Family Violence Hotline: 1-800-252-5400

Your legal Protection

Your report of child abuse or neglect is confidential and immune from civil or criminal liability as long as the report is made in "good faith" and "without malice."

In good faith means that the person making the report took reasonable steps to learn facts that were readily available and at hand. Without malice means that the person did not intend to injure or violate the rights of another person. Provided these two conditions are met, you will also be immune from liability if you are asked to participate in any judicial proceedings that might result from your report.


A disclosure

If you are the first person the child tells about sexual abuse, your testimony as "outcry witness" may be especially important in future legal proceedings. What you say the child told you is not considered hearsay but is admissible evidence in a trial involving a sexual offense against a child. This exception applies only to the first person the child approaches.

https://www.oag.state.tx.us/ag_publications/txts/childabuse1.shtml#whoare

E. Who are the Child Abusers?

Child abuse can occur in any social, cultural, or economic class. Women are somewhat more likely to be the abuser than men; women are more likely to be caregivers. Most often when a child is injured, the perpetrator is someone known to the child. Most often it is the child's parent, guardian, or conservator; some other household or family member; or another person with regular access to the child. This is true of both physical and sexual abuse; strangers account for only about one in five harmful acts toward children.

Abusive parents may have been abused themselves as children. They may have very limited parenting skills, believing strongly in and relying almost solely upon corporal punishment for discipline. These are likely to be parents who experience great frustration in their efforts to make their children behave as they wish. Parents with a tendency to abuse their children are even more likely to do so under the stress that accompanies divorce, unemployment, or other family crises.

A special child

In some families, one child will be singled out for abuse. The parents may describe the child as being bad or a liar, or even "evil," a "witch," or a "monster." This child often has a special disadvantage such as attention deficit disorder, hyperactivity, deformity, or handicap; the child may have been unplanned or unwanted; or the child may simply be considered disappointing by the parent or caregiver for some reason. Other children in the family may escape mistreatment. If the targeted child is removed from the family, another child may be selected for abuse instead.

http://law.onecle.com/texas/family/261.001.00.html

Texas Family Code - Section 261.001. Definitions
§ 261.001. DEFINITIONS.  In this chapter:                                   
      (1)  "Abuse" includes the following acts or omissions by a person:   
                           (C)  physical injury that results in substantial harm to the child, or the genuine threat of substantial harm from physical injury to the child, including an injury that is at variance with the history or explanation given and excluding an accident or reasonable discipline by a parent, guardian, or managing or possessory conservator that does not expose the child to a substantial risk of harm;
             (D)  failure to make a reasonable effort to prevent an action by another person that results in physical injury that results in substantial harm to the child;

now for federal law on the topic....

EDIT: it appears that all laws under federal guidelines are of or related to sexual child abuse, this is all there is that isnt directly relating to child abuse not of a sexual nature.

http://law.onecle.com/uscode/18/2258.html

Sec. 2258. Failure to report child abuse
A person who, while engaged in a professional capacity or activity described in subsection (b) of section 226 of the Victims of Child Abuse Act of 1990 on Federal land or in a federally operated (or contracted) facility, learns of facts that give reason to suspect that a child has suffered an incident of child abuse, as defined in subsection (c) of that section, and fails to make a timely report as required by subsection (a) of that section, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 1 year or both.

law.onecle.com/uscode/18/3283.html

Sec. 3283. Offenses against children
No statute of limitations that would otherwise preclude prosecution for an offense involving the sexual or physical abuse, or kidnaping, of a child under the age of 18 years shall preclude such prosecution during the life of the child, or for ten years after the offense, whichever is longer.

I've read a few descriptions of the video and I don't want to watch it. I hope this guy gets what's coming to him.

[Pterrydactyl]

Whats coming should be a bullet to the head.

[Fake from State Jarm]

that's fucked up.

If it was his black daughter, would it be better?

But yeah, his court presides over child abuse cases. :irony:
