Aransas County, TX Judge William Adams IS A CHILD BEATER--WARNING: Sensitive Content Here

videodescription said:
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. 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.

Hi Snape how are you ?

I discovered this video yesterday so i thought of creating a thread about it. On second thoughts, i did not because i thought some people might not be able to handle it. I'm 24 and i gotta say seeing that was tough. The words the "parents" used, the tone of their voice, and the screams of the girl were just too much. I have a few ideas about what should be done to this creature called Willy whatever, but i will hold my tongue out of respect for the rules of this forum. By the way, what will happen to the mother ? She did watch it all without helping her daughter.

Thanks for trying to eradicate this worthless piece of meat by creating this thread.

I don't know what will happen to the mother. According to the daughter she was also emotionally abused and has since left the marriage, but in my opinion she is just as guilty. She's an adult, so I don't feel much for her, but to stand there and watch this asshole beat your disabled daughter for downloading games and music off the Internet is just unreal! Well, thank Anonymous, they're the REAL heroes here. I'm just spreading the info. on here, Facebook, Twitter, wherever I can, really. That poor girl needs to be apologized to, and that monster needs to resign and serve time in prison, if not worse.

Signed and shared to Twitter and FB. I didn't watch the video, but I saw a snippet of it on the news the other day. It's bad enough to beat on a child, but beating on them knowing they have a disability is truly sickening. I hope he gets put away for life!

Severus Snape · Nov 6, 2011

^Me too, thanks for signing, and spreading the word! This guy needs to be put away! >(

Jabberwock Jackson · Nov 6, 2011

How can he be charged if the statute of limitations has expired?

Severus Snape · Nov 6, 2011

^I dunno, that's the problem, but we want him at least to resign.

Jabberwock Jackson · Nov 6, 2011

Ahhh. I see. Demanding his resignation is something I can get behind. I wish it could be his head on a platter though. :evil:

ginvid · Nov 7, 2011

I personally don't think he abused the girl. I got much worse spankings than that in my life. I definitely don't think he should be in jail. I did not watch all of the clip provided above but I saw a snippet of it on my local news. He spanked a girl with a belt. I need more that a video of that incident to make a conclusion of this family's situation.

Sorry, I'm not convinced.

Jabberwock Jackson · Nov 7, 2011

For me the main issue is the fact that it went on for several minutes and some of the things he said while beating her. He seemed to take pleasure in doing it.

sweet princess · Nov 7, 2011

I found the video very distrubing & i hope he quits!!

I got much worse too, GinVid, but the fact of the matter is that 1) the girl has a disability, so it is not the same as if he did it to a fully functional child, 2) it was over something so inanely stupid the punishment very much surpassed the crime, and 3) he took clear pleasure in doing it from what you witness in the video, something which goes far beyond just discipline and transcends the realms of pure sadism.

A man like that deserves not only jail time, but to have the same done to him by someone against whom he is totally helpless, so he can feel what his daughter felt when he was terrorizing her. I still remember and resent what happened to me in my own experience with parental physical abuse, and others (such as Michael, for example) have also been negatively affected by the experience. This is a social issue and it needs to stop. The only way to do that is to make examples of the monsters who choose to do this to their own children, such as this so-called judge, who is nothing but a monster and the scum of the Earth.

WOW !!!! *skaking my head*

Like, for real ? On a mj forum ? I thought the end of the world was in 2012.

Ashtanga · Nov 8, 2011

Belt and bla bla bla... no matter what is used to hit a child/teenager, this is abuse and it is completely wrong and there must be a punishment. -_-

:fear:

What does being on an MJ forum have to do with anything? I still have my own experiences. My experience is that I got much worse whoopings than that (I could tell you some stories) and I would never call my mother an abuser nor would I want someone else doing something and trying to take her job away or have her imprisoned. Based on my experience it is very difficult for me to see this as abuse. You may feel differently but don't presume to mock me for how I feel. Really on an MJ forum, people don't allow people to feel differently???

@ Severus, I didn't get the impression he was enjoying what he was doing. I get the impression he was a father at the end of his rope and lashing out at a disobedient daughter. However, i must admit I didn't see it all the way through. I'll try to watch it and come to a more complete opinion. Thanks for your thoughtful reply.

He did get pleasure from what he did. Later on in the video he talks about "not getting his licks in," and comes back for round two of beating his disabled and defenceless daughter while her useless mother watches on. Does that sound like a father at the end of his rope? I don't think so. The context of the situation is also important--all the kid did was use the Internet to download games and music (she has a disability that doesn't really allow her to be outside much and so she has developed a love for technology, is what I heard). That's it. By the beating he gave her, you would have thought he caught her smoking pot or being part of a gang or something--it is completely inappropriate as punishment, especially considering he appears to take pleasure in the punishment.

Then again, these conservative types are usually quite sick and twisted, so I can't say I'm exactly surprised over this.

I read she was illegally downloading things. That can be quite serious and could also reflect very badly on a judge. Also maybe she got viruses on the computer for doing this before and they had to replace computers and it was a finiancial strain on them and they were tired of her being disobedient. My point in saying this is that we don't know the full context. We don't know what shaped this event. We are making judgement calls from the outside. I am saying based on what I know, I cannot condemn this man. And, I will not.

As for him taking pleasure, as I said, I didn't see that on the parts I saw. However, I will need to watch the rest of the video. I've gotten spankings for being outside when I was supposed to be inside. My grandma would spank us for going in her living room. I got spankings for playing when I should be in bed or for talking in bed when I should have been sleep. I think there are better ways of discipline, but I don't fault my parents for what they did. I understand as I am older how circumstances in my parents life caused them to react certain ways to their children. I am not so quick to condemn anyone for spanking their child (and that is what this was).

Regardless, there's no point in arguing until after I watch the whole thing because until then I am just speaking from ignorance. Although, I have to admit I turned the video off prematurely because it was just not very easy to watch. But I'll try.

Word Smith Sr · Nov 8, 2011

^^^ I'll be brief since i do not want to argue forever. When i wrote "on an mj forum", i was trying to say that i'm shocked by your lack of compassion for this woman. It's an mj forum, so maybe i'm naive, but i never thought i'd read what you wrote in the post i quoted. Given what Michael went through you know ? What you wrote sounded like "oh well, he did not use a baseball bat or a hammer , so it's ok."

You said "Really on an MJ forum, people don't allow people to feel differently??? " I never said that you do not have the right to express the way you feel. Again, i'm just shocked by the fact that you do not seem to have compassion for that woman. That's all. English is not my mother tongue so maybe you did not understand me. What i'm trying to say is that it's your right not to have compassion for her but it's also my right to be shocked by your post.

By the way, i do not see how i can "not allow you to feel differently" or anything like that. I'm a regular member not a moderator. Peace.

ginvid · Nov 8, 2011

It's not an argument so far, but a disagreement (unless you take it there). I am happy content with people experessing their differences of opinion in a civilized manner and I don't think a dialogue has to be ceased automatically just because there different sides to the topic.

Again as I said, being on an MJ forum does not negate a person's own experiences and their ability to arrive at their own conclusions based on this. Based on my experience, I cannot see what this man did as wrong. Some people have different experiences in their life which will impel them to respond more strongly to a situation than others. Some people will see this as abhorent some will not. Everytime someone does not react strongly to something I feel passionately about am I going to say that I'm surprised they would write that on an MJ board?? How is that my place. I hate the abuse of animals. Some think it is the natural order of life. Some abhor it so much they stop eating meat. For those who say it's a natural order, am I going to try to act as if they are shameful for writing this on an MJ board? No. I am willing to account for diffrences in people.

As for compassion for this girl. I never said I didn't have compassion for her. I never said I was indifferent to her being disciplined. I am not sure what I wrote that brought you to that conclusion. I did however, say that I cannot condemn her father based on just the information I know and I didn't see this as abuse. Discipline is hardly pleasant. But that doesn't mean that it should not exist. And, based on my experience in life, this doesn't cross the line. Growing up, abuse was breaking an arm something like that. (I can't even say abuse was bruising because I got those as well.) Do I think there are better ways to discipline children? Yes. But not everyone understands this. People have to be taught that there are better ways. How a person is disciplined is passed down. I understand how I felt after being spanked so in that regard I can feel for the girl. But I also understand what I did wrong to often warrant those spankings.

I heard on the news the the girl released this video because her father wouldn't let her take the family car. This is a girl who's probably smarter than you think. And probably understands more than you think. For her to be able to understand blackmail & scheming tells me her comprehension is probably higher than people are giving her credit for.

Anway, the point I was trying to make from the very beginning is that out of all of this, based on all of the information that has come out, I cannot call this abuse. I call it a spanking. Again, I said I needed to watch the full video because I don't see how a parent can get pleasure from spanking a child & I was told there is evidence of it in the video, but as for now, that's my opinion.

And I never said you were preventing me from speaking. That wasn't even alluded to in my post as I was very easily able to type this long response above. And the comment about not being allowed to feel differently was not literal. It was a play on how anyone who feels different than the majority are often shamed in some kind of way. But don't worry, that never deters me from speaking. I tried to explain myself as clearly as possible since English is your second language. I hope I didn't just confuse you further. If you haven't noticed I am long winded and only edit afterwards. :lol:

Anyway, if you want further explanation, let me know.

Word Smith Sr · Nov 8, 2011

^^^ Well my friend um. Um, there's something i cannot get, you've not seen the video so um..... like....... don't take this the wrong way but like, maybe you should watch it then discuss this incident. I'm not trying to be rude but talking about it and then go "i'll watch it later" is a little funny hehe.

Severus Snape · Nov 9, 2011

It's hard to watch and, Ginvid, I got beatings for no good reason too, which is why I empathize with this girl rather than normalize the abnormal. She was illegally downloading music, but so what. It's pretty much a victimless crime, and while not the right thing to do, it certainly does not justify his actions. The guy is a sick monster, but like I said, he's a conservative so it's not exactly a surprise he's a backward tool.

Now, her mother is crying on Dr. Phil, but I guess that's too little too late for me. Both those parents should have never been permitted to raise children. Beating children is not an answer, and only a backwards society would adhere to the ridiculous saying "spare the rod, spoil the child." Psychologists have proven physical abuse can lead to the development of mental illness, and the deterioration of life in general, so how can it be a good thing? Additionally, I fail to see how beating this girl delivers the message that stealing music and games off the Internet is a bad thing. The only message it delivers is that violence bends others to your will--the same message dictatorships such as Stalinist Russia delivered unto their people.

There is no rhyme or reason when things are punished with violence. Had the judge explained to the girl why downloading music illegally is wrong, and administered a fair and understandable punishment such as taking computer privileges away, or making her earn the money (if any was lost due to viruses, etc). to repair the computer, then no one would be up in arms about anything. However, beating your child 17 times and clearly taking pleasure in the act is unforgivable.

I hope Anonymous make his life impossible. They already leaked his information, and I hear he's gotten a bunch of death threats. Can't say I feel sorry for him. People like him are the scum of the Earth.

EDIT: HAHAH! He's released a statement on Dr. Phil! Apparently, he's too much of a coward to show his face in town. Nothing we didn't already know, however. Only a coward would beat a girl with cerebral palsy and call it "discipline." I hope he never lives it down, and since he can't get arrested, I hope some 'street justice' is done, so he can live the same terror he put his daughter through. If only I could be the one... but some brave soul will deliver his due in some form or other, of that I am certain. Anonymous are heroes for releasing his contact info.

ginvid · Nov 10, 2011

Ok, I just watched the whole video. I do not think he got pleasure out odf spanking his daughter. i think she had a history of being disobedient. I don't think he is a scumbag, abuser, or any of the other names people have called him. I never got a spanking for nothing. I got a spanking because I was hard headed and deserved it. This girl showed she had a pattern of being hard headed. She was doing what she knew was wrong and said she turned on the camera because she knew she was about to get in trouble. Then she later uses the video to try to blackmail her father because he took away her car. She has shown herself to manipulative, vindictive, and it seems to me she understands her actions very well.

Do I think there are better ways to discipline your children. Yes. But I also think you have to know your child. For some soankings will be too much. For others, taking away priviledges is not enough. if I ever have any children, would I ever spank them? If I felt it was necessary then yes.

@Severus, physical abuse does lead to altered mental states. However, what this man did to this girl was not physical abuse. That is my final word on that.

Now, while I do not think he physically abused her, I think what he did was more emotional abuse. Who talks to their children that way? I think maybe if he reasoned with her more and spoke to her like she was a human being and not some animal (I wouldn't even speak to my animals that way) he would get a more favorable response.

Whoever released his contact info is the coward and I hope they find who they are and charge them with a crime. If not, I hope someone finds out their info and splatters it all over the internet.

Severus Snape · Nov 10, 2011

^Well, you're certainly entitled to your view, but Anonymous are heroes. The world needed to know what kind of a person this guy was, and while the girl might not be the finest example of human excellence, her actions were non-violent. Moreover, the material she took could not have been purchased in the U.S., so given that I would say even though it is technically illegally downloading, it is not wrong since the company in question never provided the U.S. public with a version they could legally acquire.

Anonymous are heroes for putting that man's info. It's not even difficult to find info, and I think the only thing they could be criminally punished for is publishing his cell phone. Home address, work address, and land line telephone are regarded as public info. and a good search through the white pages site would have likely yielded the same info., sans cell phone number.

Word Smith Sr · Nov 10, 2011

^^^ Thank you ever so much Snape.

Ginvid, thanks for watching the video. You have the right to have your own opinion, that being said, i did try to understand your point of view but i cannot.

ginvid · Nov 10, 2011

It's ok. I do see your view, I just don't agree totally. That's one of the reasons this place is great though. We don't all have to agree.

Thank you and Severus. Take care!
