American Judge William Adams beats daughter for downloading



2004: Arkansas 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

Think she did, my sources (guy on youtube) said he is just about to run another election so she released it now for the greatest impact

His address details check out, and it is definitely him in the video

But America has the most retards. The fact this guy is an elected official says a lot about Americans. They have more than their fair share of idiots. It's style over substance for them.



Also when did this site get filled with Americans. I'm seeing 4/5 a day. No offence. It's just I've recently noticed this.

people can talk about discipline, and maybe you think i'm going to be a **** parent one day, but truth is watching and listening to her scream like that makes me feel really, really sad, empty and disturbed...and i don't even know her. If she was my daughter, i think if you paid me a million pounds, i would still have a real hard time doing that to her, for ANY reason. This makes me think, i'm either a failure, or people justifying this **** are just soulless and emotionally cold people.

All I do know, is that i've turned out a very decent and successful person without ever being beaten. And i know my parents feel the same way as i do regarding this.

Reason and calm discussions go further with kids than adults, and we're not perfect just cos we're adults btw, realise....as long as you can justify why you are disappointed in them. Worked with me.

Guy is a sick ****.

yes because bullying and scaring your child not to do things is the best way of raising them. plus she might once she had gotten out of the control of her parents. beating your children doesnt teach them to be a good person. (plus that man was way overboard, clearly taking out his anger shown by his swearing so it was more than just trying to teach her a lesson, clearly a nutcase.)

Umm, no.

The US equivalent to this site, collegeconfidential is dull as anything. All it contains are 'do you think my grades are good enough for XXXXX?' threads.

Anyway, this guy clearly isn't the norm in the US, so I don't see why the fact he is American is relevant.

This happens all over the world I'm sure, people seem to be respectable and trustworthy but in their own home are completely different. In this instance there just happens to be video evidence.

not the norm? he's an elected judge. for a man who behaved like that in any other developed country, prison would be the norm. that's why his nationality is relevant
