Judge William Adams beats daughter for using the Internet

Why you supporting this child abuser, I count three of you at least. He whipped her front, side and back, her screams and cries were emotional pleas for mercy. Her life as a child was oppressed torture, a child is allowed to make mistakes. She finally feels safe from her father to come out about this. He his man who is supposed to be a noble man of peace, a judge, a man of law. The wife has rumored to have left the relationship claiming it was an abusive one. The video is CLEAR child abuse and now is going viral because people can see that it is....laws were broken. She was emotionally and physically tortured and if you listen to the audio it's sounds like it wasn't the first time...

So for those claiming "oh its the law", "I am allowed to beat my kid", "she deserved it because it threatened his job" and "she didn't get hurt, so what" I suggest you go back and have a good look at the video and ask yourselves, would I do this to my kid? What would I feel like if that was me getting punished like that?? and then finally ask yourself, what life must have been like for her growing up??

Is this type of behavior really what America is all about??

This isn't parent rights, this is straight out child abuse, every way you look at it...

What about the little one Madison she was 4 then and would be 10-11 now, does anyone know her status??

I hope she is safe

It's legal here in SC to beat your children as long as it doesn't leave any visible bruising or marks.
Just because it's legal doesn't make it right.

Never happen.

They have to abide by State Statues, most like 10 to 20 worst case, but this will not happen here.

Apparently this isn't even illegal in the UK.

You folks need to learn your own laws and realize they are barely different than the laws in the US before you go off calling us barbarians.

nspcc.org.uk

Read them and weep.

You Brits are such barbarians! At least in the USA most people are required to report actual cases of abuse to the government, whereas in the UK this is apparently optional in most cases.

I'll be...

In fact I can't find a single nation on Earth where this act is technically illegal.

I wonder why it's so difficult to pinpoint one?

Any help would be gracious, just for a little side-project for fun you know?

But who beats their children in the UK?

It apparently legal globally.

Any disputation of this with actual documentation would be very handy. I would retract my supposition.

That's because you cannot read, it seems.

It's not that laws don't exist, it that you're seemingly unable to comprehend the ones already in place

Well since you have a right to privacy in the UK, there is no way to know now is there?

It's a fact someone does. And it's a fact it's legal. You barbarians you.

edit on 2-11-2011 by NadaCambia because: (no reason given)

The Children Act 1989 defines “harm” as ill-treatment (including sexual abuse and nonphysical forms of ill-treatment) or the impairment of health (physical or mental) or development (physical, intellectual, emotional, social or behavioural) (section 31). “Significant” is not defined in the Act, although it does say that the court should compare the health and development of the child “with that which could be reasonably expected of a similar child”. So the courts have to decide for themselves what constitutes “significant harm” by looking at the facts of each individual case.

Looks like I am reading fairly accurately.

Why didn't you even bother to read your OWN LAWS before you disputed me?

This is laughable.

I have a wife and two happy children.

My 7 yr old can do algebra, read a novel, and write proficiently.

I would have to say you are entirely bias and presumptive.

This is a old school witch hunt, and you folks know it.

Show your kids the video and tell them you support his behavior and see what happens. The more you talk the more I am certain about my thoughts of you.

I feel sorry for your kids... Somebody call DHS

i truly believe people are letting emotion take control here.

i do not condone the actions in the video.

i cannot agree with any of the commets calling for violence.

this is one case of a child getting beaten with a belt. yes its terrible.

the internet has gone crazy for the story. it is everywhere.

have you seen these stories that only came out in the last few days ;

5,000 child molesters: the US scout movement's guilty secret
www.independent.co.uk...

and

1,000 California Foster Care Homes Match Sex Offender Addresses: Report
www.huffingtonpost.com...

i actually started a thread on this yesterday and then deleted because another member stated whinging at me for picking on the scout movement.

OH MY, I have been avoiding this topic, brings back memories, I use to get that kind of beating,

I can't stand when kids get beat with a belt, plus this guy is sadistic.

Justice will be served...oh ya.

www.scam.com...

I'm 20, I don't have kids, I don't want kids, but this is appalling.

Sure, I got my fair share of spankings as a kid, but this is just assault. And from a judge no less. I can't even describe how I feel about this video without getting a T+C violation, but that judge really deserves a beating himself.

And those who agree with what he did are just sick. Just because beating your child was deemed acceptable when you were a kid doesn't mean that its right at all.

This is not a witch hunt, and YOU know it.

Witches were obviously falsely accused, we all know there are no witches. However, we can clearly see the evidence of this mans abuse towards his children.

No, you are still wrong. The only person who seemingly thinks the actions in the video are not significant is YOU.

In America or the UK his actions are illegal. You seem to think his actions aren't significant, that's a lack of humanity and intelligence on your part. He's committed a crime by the law you're quoting.

So why didn't you?

Are you not capable of pressing a simple 9-1-1 on the phone?

Call me confused.

Its called fear.. The same reason people who are abused in relationships dont say anything.. You should watch the burning bed.. But you wouldnt understand it because you have never been there probably..

Yes, my first husband was a beater, but see when you are brought up with it, you think it is normal, back in the day they never had help for women like they do today.

You disagree with someone on ATS, first you threaten to kill them by shooting them in the face at their front door (recorded and saved) , now you are suggesting that DHS should come after them?

It's not even illegal in your nation to do this. Look up your own laws.

I'm torn here.

A spanking with the belt isn't in itself a bad thing.
The spanking followed by a discussion with your kids about the spanking and why they got it.
Is a useful tool.

Just beating your kid with the belt and screaming at them. Probably a bit over the top.

This really is a family matter that isn't really our business.
As long as the kid isn't hurt ie sent to the hospital.
I don't think we should be meddling.
