A video recently surfaced of Judge William Adams beating his daughter Hillary
.
She also went on the Today Show.
Charges, however, will not be filed because the statute of limitations is 5 years, and this took place 7 years ago.
What do you think? I'm pretty sad

At least it looks like he's still going to lose his job.

This. I just wanna....die.
On another note, this is why they need to make parental discipline towards the child such as this completely illegal.

Mental health "professionals" all come from the same mamby pamby school of spoil the child. I'll stick to cold hard historical fact and statistics. We did NOT have Columbines, youth gangs, and crime high crime rates 100 years ago when nearly EVERYONE spanked their children regularly. Now, most of you liberals don't spank your kids and they grow up to be thugs.
This argument....omfg...

Some republicans believe going to college is a way to brainwash people into liberalism.

Corporeal punishment against kids is a complicated issue. This is over The line though, and he seemed to be doing it out of anger too which is $%^&ed up. Plus she seems to old to be spanked.
EDIT:
For the record im a republican(ish) and I am 100% against hitting kids with belts or any object, or striking a kid in anger.

True, but the point is it's easy enough to counterargue that spanking children causes psychological issues, which means the person may:
a. Die (self inflicted)
b. Be not as productive otherwise due to these psychological issues. They will lack any sort of self-esteem.
Which in short, results in a backwards society of no progression whatsoever.
(in b4 MyTie posts some counterargument. I would LOVE to see him try to justify this video)

Does it say what she did? I mean I really can't think of anything a kid that age could do to deserve that. She's way too young to be dealing drugs or hiding a handgun or something, so unless she just strangled her younger brother this was way otta line

I agree, although incorporeal punishment is even more complicated. You have to get a Ouija Board or hold a seance just to get a ghost to punish your kids, and then you have to make sure it's the right type of ghost. You'll probably need to check references...way too much work.

Hitting a kid can only cause bad things to happen. Simple as that.
Now, somebody might say "But they need to learn that what they are doing is wrong!". And yes, they do. But not this way. Kids don't do what their parents tell them to do, they do the exactly same thing as their parents do. They will hit their kids too and thus we have an endless vicious circle of beatings.
Violence should never EVER be applied to kids.

At least it isn't some arbitrary rich well connected white people technicality. It's a shame, but the statute of limitations is actually a pretty legitimate reason to not charge someone.

what if you catch them shooting up? Or torturing the neighbors dog with a knife? Or making a pipe bomb?

Yea I hadnt seen the whole video when I left the comment. I'm glad she was smart enough to get it on tape, I wish she uploaded it years ago.

Punish them verbally, take away their toys (probably too old for that, but you get the idea), ground them etc.

No, it's actually better now. She's living independently, therefore, her father cannot do ANYTHING to retaliate against her now.

I'd probably turn them in to the authorities. That is actually illegal, you know.
