In 2004, Judge William Adams was caught on video, captured by his 16 year old daughter, Hillary, beating her with a belt repeatedly. His reason for beating Hillary who was diagnosed at birth with ataxic cerebral palsy, was for illegally downloading videos off the internet. Hillary's condition resulted in her having a great interest in technology. The abuse was not only directed at Hillary but also at her mother. Hillary chose not to release the video until she felt that the time was right.
My opinion on this video is that it is a harsh punishment, while at the same time i agree that parents should still be able to discipline thier kids. I think that William Adams took Hillary's actions too seriously and acted too severly. She didnt deserve such a hard punishment. William Adams is a Judge for Child Abuse and deals with cases like this on a daily basis. After this i dont think he should be aloud to make judgements on other peoples situations related to child abuse.
This abuse continued on until the time that Hillary left home. Hillary decided to release the video after her dad harrased her over the phone. She says she was waiting for the right time to release it. Hillary and her family claim that it was along time ago and she forgives her parents for it. In my opinion thats too early to forgive your parents for doing something like that too you.
