When is discipline child abuse?

On display to the world, the secret video Hillary Adams made as a 16-year-old already has nearly two and a half million hits on YouTube. Judge William Adams has now left Rockport on paid leave and a note outside his court says his hearings are canceled. A judicial review is underway and could result in him being forced to step down.

Shame on you, Texas. The statute of limitations may have passed but you are WRONG about whether or not this is abuse.  If he did that to a grown man, he'd go to jail. There is NO EXCUSE for a grown man to beat a teenage young woman, especially not his own daughter, It doesn't surprise me that you won't even acknowledge the bruises and can't seem to figure out WHY she didn't come forward sooner. Duh....guess you better ask a child.

I'm all for not sparing the rod... that being said, this was over the top. WAY over the top. "Turn over or I'll belt your face"??!! Really? I'd like to see that redneck pussy try to belt-whip me like that. I'd break his fucking legs. This guy makes me ashamed that I was born in Texas.

He didn't have to use force to deal with the situation.

Could have just cut her internet off for awhile.

@actasanctorum0001 That is also the reason behind evil's existance in the world. God could destroy evil at anytime, but there are so many people who would be destroyed for their actions. God is just and is against evil, but He stays His hand so we have a chance to repent. That is true love.

@NINJA5589 Typos are accidental anyway its beside the point. God doesn't damn you. A man's actions damn himself. Is an innocent man sent to prison? No or course not. Man kind was given a choice serve God faithfully or not. It is the one who chooses his or her own path. Mankind was corrupted after the fall of Adam. His sin was past down to us. Only one man has lived the life of no sin. That man was Jesus Christ he was without fault but he still died for us God is loving.

@actasanctorum0001 the contradictions are actually god is loving and all that.but he damns u to hell for eternity for loving ur food.shit like that man. the thing is i dont care about my spelling.my point about the spelling is if ur caring to try to be professional make sure about everything.

[actasanctorum0001]

@NINJA5589 What are the contradictions in Christianity? And I you are calling out my spelling please check your own. Anywho yes some religions are contradictory like some forms of Buddhism. Others like Hinduism are just impossible to understand fully because of the sheer amount of gods + an strange doctrine. Christianity is a religion and is right. Christianity is a religion. Therefore not all religions are correct, but not all of them are wrong.

@actasanctorum0001 or it would be a complete lie.theres too many contradictions in religion for most of it to be true

[NINJA5589]

@actasanctorum0001 i heard mispelling was pretty unproffesional too. i dont have to be proffessional with this because its obvious its wrong.im not aethiest,its stupid.im saying most other religions other than with jews,christians or catholics theyre stupid.still most religions are stupid in some of their aspects.these rules not to go to hell or heaven is stupid.they wouldnt have been given to us naturally.most of the word of God is a lie and wasnt from God.a peaceful and loving God is not cruel

[actasanctorum0001]

@NINJA5589 Profanity is unprofessional when getting your point across. Otherwise it's fine. And a world without religion is Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia. I don't know about you but I'd prefer not living there. And I you believe religion is stupid I'll assume you are an athiest. You realize that in a athiesm you, me, everything we know, is worthless. Do you truely believe you are merely dust the accidently became life and nothing has any lasting value? I don't thing so. You have . .
