"No, in my mind I haven't done anything wrong other than discipline my child after she was caught stealing. And I did lose my temper, but I've since apologized,"
"I just wanted somebody to see it and tell me, 'no, Hillary this wasn't right and I'm glad you were able to grow up and move on past this' and 'no, your Dad wasn't right,'"
A video of a prominent Texas judge beating his daughter has surfaced the internet. He's beating his daughter with a belt and cursing at her, but he claims he was simply disciplining his child and did nothing wrong. Hillary Adams, the daughter who is seen being beaten in the video, secretly recorded the beating seven years ago and recently uploaded it to youtube and it soon became viral. Both Hillary and William Adams have said the beating took place as punishment for then 16-year-old Hillary illegally downloading from the internet. It was shot in 2004 by a secret camera Hillary set up when she anticipated her father might beat her. She said the beatings were a regular part of her life during those years, but she did not publish the video until now because she feared it would incite more violence, according to the interview. What's ironic is that her father is a judge and does cases solely on child and sex abuse.
I think its absolutely absurd that he beat her to this extent and this wasn't the only time that it happened. Child abuse should be stopped and the victims absuers shouldnt get off so easily like this judge. The fact that the judge is a judge for cases like the one he is involved in is really ironic. He puts criminals behind bars for committing crimes like the one he has committed upon his own daughter. I dont think he should be back allowed being a judge because it's too contraditctory. I hope the daughter gets the help recovering from this abuse and that the father will be punished so cases like this can be prevented.
