Voluntary suspension with pay? Where I work, we call that a vacation.

Gee, I guess the daughter is going to lose her allowance now.

So I guess this means the judge will have more time to spend at home with his daughter now. She must be thrilled.

He says she released the video because he stopped helping her with her payments on her Mercedes.

While the beating was unconscionable, they kind of deserve each other.

True "suspended with pay" story:

When Federal Agent Lon Horiuchi blasted a woman holding a baby in her arms during the Ruby Ridge standoff, he was suspended for 90 days, then reinstated with full back pay.

That is the penalty for first degree murder: 90 days compulsory vacation with full pay, but the money paid in a way which is presumably inconvenient.

Guess it proves some pigs are a lot more equal than others in this Animal Farm.

Even years prior to this many people were posting about him on the internet regarding his relationship with a prosecutor and lawyer who tended to favor authoritarian males in custody cases, even to the point of fabricating statements and other misconduct that prevented females from having any custodial privileges for their children.

OtherLittleGuy: While he won't face any criminal charges, at least the Texas judge who was caught on tape beating his disabled daughter might not get to be a judge anymore

When did it come out she was "disabled"? Was she mowing at the time?

She has ataxic cerebral palsy, douche.

"I lost my temper, she wasn't hurt," Adams told Corpus Christi TV station KZTV. "In my mind, I haven't done anything other than discipline my daughter."

Striking a child out of rage is the very definition of child abuse. It doesn't matter if she wasn't hurt.

The video is a indisputable example of child abuse. Lashing out in rage against your children is inflicting terror on your children.

The more I read of the story, the more it sounds like everyone in that family needs time with a therapist. From the sounds of it the judge:

Had a liquor and/or pill problem. Got ragey and hit his kids.

The daughter got the tape but didn't do anything about it. Moved in with mom but her dad was paying for her Benz and her college. Daughter said she was going to drop out, dad said he'd take the Benz away if she did. Mom also happens to be in a custody battle for the younger daughter, urges the release of the video.

I feel bad the girl was beaten, but I can't make myself like anyone in this mess.

/dad should lose his job

I've been there. The checks and having someone lavish me with gifts was great, but they ended abruptly when I told my father that I don't owe him shiat. I am better off now that I cut those strings.

It sounds to me that he was using the payments as a way to control her now that she's old enough that he can't beat her any more.

I'm just playing devils advocate here, but if say my daughter dropped out of college I'd likely pull the car I gave her as a gift. Every parent uses their wealth to control their kid to a certain degree. I'll cover a lot of my kids expenses if they go to college. If they drop out and go work at Wally World I won't. Because I'm trying to make college as attractive as possible and ensure they keep heading in that direction.

Hell the kids know that if they get Cs on the report card, or even an abnormally high number of Bs, the cellphones, the car keys, etc are going away and staying gone for awhile.

Dysfunctional families are just that - an entire unit of people with extremely unhealthy coping skills. They remain together because that's all they know how to do: pretend nothing is wrong.

Unfortunately, in that bizarro universe when you do that for years upon years, you get a reservoir of hurt feelings, which in turn spawns more unhealthy coping mechanisms.

The daughter didn't release the tape out of fear it would destroy the family - and she's right, it did destroy the family. That's really the only way out of a dysfunctional family sometimes.

It's like a hoarder house - when you get to the point where so much shiat accumulates that you're FORCED to do something, you discover so much delapitation that the house has to be razed.

I honestly don't beleive he was in a rage when he did that. He made sure to turn off the light so the neighbors wouldn't see. He had given this a lot of thought. He is cold and sadistic.

A good father and a man who is supposed to uphold the law would have made the girl turn herself in for illegally downloading music. Ya know, teach the girl there are consequences for her actions without beating her.

He's a judge. He can't have his own child in trouble with the law.

The humiliation of not having to work while still getting paid is simply over the top. Sure he had bad judgment for beating his kid, but Jeeze, this is just a bit too much.

While it hasn't been expressly reported on, the divorced parents were in a custody fight over the youngest daughter. The judge was basically in line to get the kid, what with being a judge in a small town and the deck stacked against the mom....and Oh! What's this...Oldest daughter produces the tape and says 'Go ahead and use this'...Dad knew about the tape for months, basically said 'Oh, yeah...go ahead. See if I care.'

I will concede that he did plan some of that. I think it's part sadisdic, part rage, but still child abuse.

A responsible parent would have hauled away the computer and revoked computer privileges. Notice how the computer just sits in the background for the whole ordeal?

I'm not going to get into the morality of whipping a 16 year old girl, but what definitely crosses the line is that he was indiscriminately whipping her. Most child protective services consider striking the arms and legs to be a form of physical abuse.

That's a tad disingenuous. He shot and hit an armed man; the bullet continued through a door and hit a woman he didn't see. Yes, he was shooting at someone who was fleeing, but that's not what you're implying.

C's were F's to my mom. Our grades and behavior were put in check with grounding and taking gadgets away, too. That doesn't work with all teens, though. With that said, why can't wealthier parents just buy their kids jalopies? That should humble their arses when they get bouts of entitlement. Why buy a luxury car when the kid obviously does not appreciate what's already in front of them?

FTA - "I lost my temper, she wasn't hurt," Adams told Corpus Christi TV station KZTV. "In my mind, I haven't done anything other than discipline my daughter."

Yet when regular people do much less than this for a child's disobedience which could've maimed or killed a 9 month pregnant woman, it results in an arrest for felony child abuse, a plea bargain for misdemeanor assault, and over 11 years and counting of near impossibility to find a job of any kind. Why the duality in the system?

Different rules for them.

Somehow public office (judges, politicians), public service (cops), and/or great wealth bestows you with greater protection from the laws of the land.

Our land is neither equal nor free.

Now get back to work. The board members want new yachts and they can't get them without all of your hard work and dedication. Besides, the judge is joining them for a trip to Cancun next weekend and we've got to make a good impression for the company.

No, a spanking is delivered with one, open hand. He was whipping his daughter with his BELT, and he was hitting her on any place he could possible reach. That's not a spanking, that's a beating and he deserves to see some punishment for it.

AbbeySomeone: Hey, booze and pills are legal. It's not like he was smoking pot or anything.


I'm willing to bet a dollar that if he was smoking pot not a single fark would have been given that day.

In other words, no beating takes place.

this is the message we are sending little spoiled biatches in this country now ?!?! You can ruin your parent's career and reputation with a cell phone, there are no repercussions for your actions, it is ok to steal, and you will never be punished or spanked ? fark That !! It was a completely acceptable whipping. We need our grandparents' standards back. You know, from when the US accomplished things. the entire problem with kids these days is they are not accountable. One or two whippings when Kids are little keeps then in line for the rest of their lives. But you go ahead and let some little farker that has no idea of its place in society and has never earned a single meal run your life. pathetic. the west is falling, isn't it?

He was humiliated all over the internet. That's about the best you can hope for with these psychos. Most of them have large support systems in place long before they ever get caught doing anything that shows the kind of people they really are.
