Judge William Adams beats daughter for using the Internet

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.

Lame, I provide documents to actual laws supporting my case, providing definitions etc.

You say "Oh your wrong".

Can't argue with you, you are always right no matter what huh?
Proof doesn't even cause you to budge. Actual legal documents.

I couldn't watch but a little over two minutes worth of that. When the mom got involved, that was enough.

It all comes back around.

Peace

Its amazing watching the streaming reaction to this video on different sites.

Many people want the man killed.

Many more think he should be locked up for life.

People are just going insane with rage.

Do people consider this a life sentence crime?

Something about the way the world is set up, people get worked up. Allowing your emotions to get involved and calling for extreme things to happen to him is actually allowing the dark side that operates behind the scenes, behind much of our news and events, to win, it lowers frequency. But at the same time, no world survives in a vacuum. If this was an advanced world, would we all be discussing this situation like this?

You actually brought up a point that needs deeper thought. While I usually see online expressions of vengeance cia ops myself, but thats just me. Suddenly your words made me question, what would a higher level world respond like? Because we should be attempting to act as if here.

I believe if in a higher level world, such a sudden deviant behavior would occur, they would all be aware that some consequences were going to follow spiritually and wish to send as much Love, Light, Healing Energy, Support, Encouragement to make a turn around and inner change, to mitigate or remove any consequence and provide support to him and his whole family/daughter.

We should be sending our best wishes, prayers, love, and envisioning healing and ultimately the happiness of this entire family and everyone in any family anywhere. However in his case there is also the position of responsibility he has as a judge.

The law you quoted is on my side. Judge William Adams is guilty of the law you quoted.

It's obvious now that you're a few IQ points shy of double digits. I'll let the Aussie finish you off

2004: Aransas County Court-At-Law Judge William Adams took a belt to his own teenage daughter as punishment for using the internet to acquire music and games that were unavailable for legal purchase at the time. She has had ataxic cerebral palsy from birth that led her to a passion for technology, which was strictly forbidden by her father's backwards views. The judge's wife was emotionally abused herself and was severely manipulated into assisting the beating and should not be blamed for any content in this video. The judge's wife has since left the marriage due to the abuse, which continues to this day, and has sincerely apologized and repented for her part and for allowing such a thing, long before this video was even revealed to exist. Judge William Adams is not fit to be anywhere near the law system if he can't even exercise fit judgement as a parent himself. Do not allow this man to ever be re-elected again. His "judgement" is a giant farce. Signed, Hillary Adams, his daughter

The above is what is posted under the youtube video. This was back in 2004 and she has ataxic cerebral palsy.

I believe in consequences for punishment. This girl loved Technology so take it away as punishment. Beating a teenager is not going to teach them anything other than violence. It's sick to think that this father is using his daughter's misbehavior as an excuse to getoff on beating her. All I can say is we may forgive but we don't forget. What comes around goes around. I believe karma will come back to haunt this father one day. You wait and see.
It did mine.

All the people who said it was fine she is getting beating is CLEARLY men who:

1. Don't have a kid
2. Are single
3. Have a grudge against woman because of #2

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

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.

then show your kids and tell them it's ok because its the law. You won't because you know what they will think of you. Thoughts of you confirmed.

Don't attack me because I am right...

Yes, it is a cycle, he probably had it done to him.

I think what this guy is saying is you need to beat the living crap out of your kids or they will end up like those ridiculously ignorant girls who stole the girl scout money. I don't think those girls need beaten, I think they need a few nights in the slammer. That is a whole other story.

"Latest Update Judge William Adams Respond To Videotaped Beating

11:34 AM

ROCKPORT - Aransas County Court at Law Judge William Adams has spoken to our Andy Liscano about a video the judge's daughter posted on Youtube showing a beating in 2004.

Judge Adams told us, "It happened years ago.. I apologized."

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."

Judge Adams also informed us he has already contacted the Judicial Review in Austin and "more will come out" during the investigation.

We'll keep you posted."

In an advanced world, we certainly wouldn't be discussing this. It's a symptom of our primitive civilization for sure.

They would be sending love and all that, but we don't.
It's apparently a fad these days to send nothing but hatred.

That's cool but I don't like to hang like that. I have done my best in this thread to withstand the negatives surrounding us from all sides, but hey no one's perfect. We all have weaknesses.

I am seeking a balance, rather than getting trapped in the extremes.

Never happen.

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

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?

www.cbc.ca...

The court heard arguments on both sides of the debate and ruled by a 6-3 margin that the law was constitutional and should stand. Writing for the majority, Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin stated that under Section 43, criminal law does not apply when force "is part of a genuine effort to educate the child, poses no reasonable risk of harm that is more than transitory and trifling, and is reasonable under the circumstances."

Changes to the section were recommended, however. In her decision, McLachlin ruled out the use of corporal punishment for children under age two or for teenagers. She also came out against using instruments such as rulers and belts, or striking a child on the face or head....

The bill was eventually amended to allow parents and caregivers to use force in very specific situations — such as a small smack to the hand to stop a child who is about to do something dangerous or harmful. But routine discipline and the use of spanking as premeditated punishment wouldn't be allowed.

The bill passed its third reading in the Senate in June 2008 and moved to the House of Commons for approval before it could become law. The House never held a vote, however, as Parliament was dissolved for an election.

The bill itself didn't need to be passed, as the Supreme Court made a decision that would still have called this current case child abuse if it was tried in Canada, and the Supreme Court has overturned government bills.

Thanks for the update, this is getting crazy.

I can't believe how wild this instance has turned out to be in just a day or so.

The Internet sure is a hell of a place.

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

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 don't quite understand how you are equating that paragraph you pasted to Child abuse being legal? Doesn't it say right there that harming your child is bad and it could be up to the court to decide how significant the harm is done? What am I missing here?

That's how white people spank their kids???

reply to post by Unity_99


There was no reasonable risk of harm from a few belt lashings.

So even in Canada, per your own legal definitions, it is not technically abuse.

it is a cycle...and its something that takes time for us as a species, to cycle out of-its a impulsive reaction

its a very primal way to handle situations that you may feel you have lost control in-it actually shows insecurity in the mother and father and their ability to handle a situation in a calm and gathered manner...it makes them look like they are very unsure of their own selves as parents and the power of love and communication between them and their children

its doesnt make me look at them as bad people....but lost people

So in the end, I will defend a parents right to beat their child, even if it goes beyond what I personally find acceptable.

It's not our business.

How about I come into all of your houses and tell you how to live?

I can tell that you are a #ty parent. You don't own your children. They are human beings and should be treated as such. If you are abusing your children you don't deserve to have them and should be locked away.

Because there is no impairment of health.
Did you read the entire PDF I linked?

Please go back a page or two and read the entire PDF, it's pretty explicit.

Also run a few google searches while your at it for additional information on legal definitions.

What about psychological harm?
