Port Aransas Judge Spanks Daughter

We've all seen this story on the news. Back in 2004, a judge beats his 16 year old daughter for lying & uploading a computer game. Here's the full video.

WARNING; Explicit Language



She finally turns this in 7 years later. Guess she broke a mirror that day (LOL).

That kind of beating ranks up there with...

1). Joe Jackson beating his kids.

2). Zac Efron getting slapped 9 times on 17 Again

3). Moe beating up Curly!

That wasn't a ''spank''. Being a parent, this video makes my blood boil. This is abuse and it's not right. That is no way to discipline a child.

One of the most disturbing things I've ever seen. There's a news report on it I watched that just adds to it. The father even now is still convinced that what he did was okay. Smart kid though. Surprised she's not a tad more vindictive. She just said she wants him to get help.

The only solace in watching this, is with knowing that every terrible second of this I see, the rest of the world see's too.

These parents are forever shamed.


I mean, this dude obviously has issues, right? He must have been carrying a "chip" on his shoulder for years! It's terrible to see it taken out on his child.

I'm of the belief that spanking is a proper punishment, but I don't care what your kid did... going overboard like that is despicable. Especially considering she was 16.

What makes it even worse is the fact that he was whipping her for having "pirated media" on their computer. Why even get mad about that?

He kept going off about how she stole. The really stupid part is the music she was stealing was unavailable in the US at the time and there was no other way for her to get it. Hearing him go off on the caveman "Damn Computers! Nothing but trouble them things! Rawr technology is scary and bad!" rant was the only mildly amusing part. His wife is a joke too. Her defense was she was brainwashed. She didn't seem too remorseful in the interview she seemed confident blaming it all on the guy and not owning up to the fact that she did it on her own free will. She never had to partake the guy went nuts when she took the belt from him. He even went and got another one just so he could hit her too.

Indeed, there's a fine line between discipline and child abuse....and this whack-bag crossed it.

I'm not going to bother to look at that video, but if he really did it so badly, then it should be illegal anywhere. Not just Norway.

I'm also aware that in Sweden, they don't play around when it comes to severe corporal punishment either.

Wow. I'm all for spanking kids if they do something wrong, but this steps over the line. You don't just beat your kid like that. This guy should be sent to jail.

And GR, it's not funny to compare this heinous assault to Moe slapping Curly or an actor getting slapped in a fictional movie. That's just low.

I can just imagine one of the late night talk show hosts mentioning that news & for the punch line, "Least she didn't tell her parents, Smile, you're on Candid Camera!"

So I have a little Conan O'Brian in me. Throw tomatoes @ me.

That's evil...

How can somebody with issues like this still be in a high-profile position? I am guessing he won't be much longer..

To compare yourself to Conan O'Brien is an insult to Conan. Because he's actually funny. There is absolutely nothing about this story that should be "joked" about. The first post of this thread disgusts me, and I'm not referring to the video (which is an evil in and of itself).

To me, the thing that is most sad about this, is the fact that once your parents are shamed like that, there's no way to ever see them as dependable parents again. After they royally screw up like that, and the whole world chimes in on it, it'd just be hard to respect them, I imagine.
