Have you guys seen this? Unbelievable and sad that a judge who tries cases like this treats his own daughter like that. Good for her for releasing this video.

He totally lost control. While I admit that I have been hit by a belt by my father - it was ONCE.
It is so easy to password a computer and not allow a child to use it.
There was no need for excessive force in this situation. The man is not stable.
I hope they (mother and daughter) both have restraining orders against him. I hope that it is enough protection for them. -
I agree. And she has ataxic cerebral palsy...to make it even worse.Comment

This is a sad situation. Buuuut, there is always more to the story than we see/hear in the media. This was a case of corporal punishment but IMHO, this girl could not have been too emotionally damaged by the situation since she waited 7 years to post it or report it.
She ONLY reported it AFTER her father took away her Mercedes and told her she needed to grow up and be financially self-reliant. If she was so terribly upset about this situation why did she continue to take money and support from her father after she was of legal age to not have anything to do with him?
She only had to wait for 2 years to be of legal age and yet she waited 7 ??? Doesn't make sense to me unless she was using the video for leverage or some other reason.
Had he continued to support her and let her have a fancy car and never be an self-sufficient adult, she would have just kept sitting on this video?
I do NOT condone beating your child with a belt or strap or beating them at all for that matter, but I just don't buy the whole "poor me" act this girl is putting on. I also understand that she is handicapped but she sure seems to play that hand when necessary.
The judge (father) claims the girl "warned" him she would do this if he took away her financial support.
There is definitely more to this story than a dad who beat his poor handicap daughter.
It is not as black and white as this girl wants people to believe.
Now media reports are stating the girl is tweeting that she is regretful for posting the video and ruining her father.Last edited by Blackcat31; 11-03-2011, 05:29 PM.Comment

It is black and white. Regardless of who she is, what her motives are or even if she's spoiled. To me, it's irrelevant.
The man is an animal. There is no excuse for how he behaved. It is not possible that it "was not as bad as it appeared".
this man and people like him need to be held accountable. This issue is something that needed to be brought to light and spoken about.Comment

The camera doesn't have a side.
Because sometimes it takes a camera in the right place at the right time to truly expose what lies beneath far more facades of normalcy than most of us understand. A camera won’t flinch. It won’t turn away. It will simply record with passive silence, and in situations like this one perhaps its growing ubiquity in our lives is a positive thing.Last edited by nannyde; 11-14-2011, 09:09 AM.Comment

I'm not saying what he did was ok AT ALL. What I am saying is that there is more to the story.Comment

Losing control like that is never right.
Why did she wait so many years to expose this? $$$ Daddy cut off her money so she retributed by destroying his political career.Comment

You know I love ya sistah... so this is why I stayed away from this when you posted it. I know you a bit IRL so I know you are a sweetie and tenderhearted. I'm going to pretend I'm not talking to you with this response so you don't get the girlfriend discount.
for this one post. Don't take it personally.. just maybe consider this:
This was taken in 2004 off a video camera. Did you have the technology in 2004 to put up a video of seven minutes? Youtube didn't even get big until 2007ish.
You think the technology she has had has made it possible for her to do that as an 18 year old? You think the technology that took the video in the first place is compatible with what she had three years ago or five years ago?
We think the internet is this awesome thing where anything goes... but you have to remember that it wasn't like this just a few short years ago and the technology to record was vastly different seven years ago.
He was SUPPORTING her as a college student. She's only 23. Was she supposed to walk away from THAT? He CONTROLS an inheritance that pays for her schooling. THAT is now at risk.
You know anything about abused kids? You know how incredibly difficult it is to come to ANY understanding of "how bad" it was and how "normal" it was when you have NOTHING in your life to compare it to? You know the SHAME that comes with the beatings.... that goes all the way into adulthood. Even WITH proof... she KNEW ... SOMEBODY would say she deserved it or it wasn't THAT bad... or he just went a ......little....... too far. So she gets a healthy dose of shame again and again...
He HAS the opportunity to share "his side". We get 848 words... 8 of them say what he did. 840 say what she did and caused.
He can make his own 7.5 minute youtube video and share his little feelings. He can do it for free.
Tap Tap Tap Tap.... we are WAITING.
Any man that can come up with "Lay down or I'll spank your F'in face" is big enough... strong enough... a man enough... to get his SIDE out. He didn't have any problem doing it seven years ago. Let's see it now.
Okay rant over... huggles to you

She was in college. He controls her inheritance she has for her college. It was inherited thru her fathers father.
He told her to put it up without seeing it. She offered to show it to him BEFORE she posted it.
No worries for him... go ahead he said
Doesn't matter anway... if she posted it in anger... or because he looked at her sideways. He did what he did.Comment
