I would wish that you could be an NFL rep. They get paid pretty well and see a LOT of games!
It was on the news here.
Dad says it wasn’t all about the PC. She was stealing.
That said, dad was way out of control.
My heart sure goes out to her.
A. That is a different child
B. The mother told her husband that she already disciplined the child before he came home
C. The reason she was in trouble was that she downloaded a game off the internet.
You’re a jerk.
There is never justification to beat another human being like this. She didn’t kill a dog. She didn’t beat a baby.
She downloaded a game.
Which crime is worse? Downloading a game or beating another person?
Even if it had been porn... so what?
I caught my son looking at internet porn. Did I whip him with a belt 19 times?
No. I closed the door and the next day he had to endure a loving lecture on the damaging effects of porn from his very concerned mother.
(It was a worse hell. Trust me.)
She was downloading music to her PC.
Dad is in a world of hurt.
I would just like to add that this is the same state where a judge sentenced a mother for spanking her child normally.

The woman didn’t use anything. She just gave her kid a spanking that reddened her bottom. And the mom was tried, found guilty and sentenced.
Hopefully this same judge will get this guy in his court room.
To whom did you direct that?
I live in the area. It was on TV. The father and others said the girl was a juvenile delinquent . She was stealing.
I’m not agreeing with the father’s punishment. He was way out of line. Just sayin’.
Graphic video ping!
He definitely went way overboard for sure, but this wasn’t about ‘being on a computer after hours’.
From what’s on the video, she was repeatedly installing a file sharing application and downloading pirated content. She had obviously been told to stop previously and didn’t.
She blithely told her mother “well, I’m sorry, but it’s easier than paying” while her father was going to get the belt.
Pls. ...I got plenty of belt whippings just like that without the bad language, just as I'm sure most baby-boomers have.
Thanks - I think. This has been in the talk show news in Austin for a couple of days. This judge wrote an opinion in a case that kids were not to be trusted as witnesses. He should be kicked off the bench.
that whole group has issues
This happened seven years ago in 2004 when she was 14. 14 + 7 = 21, so she is on her own. Can you imagine what may have happened to her if she had exposed the video when she was still under that roof?
That was not the first beating she got, or she would not have had a reason to hide that camera. The reason she posted it now was that he wanted a car back from her.
I think the girl without a shirt is Hillary's younger sister. You can hear him saying something about "Get her out of here" at the beginning. I couldn't watch much of that video.
I had not seen the entire video - it was bad enough just the small amount I saw but this is unreal. That was beyond discipline - he beat that girl and did you notice the crying stopped so quickly? She’d been beaten before and knew to stop or it would trigger more from that bastard
If my child illegally downloaded music and games (again and again) that I could be sued for in amounts upwards of $400,000, I might still be beating her.
She didn’t look hurt or all that upset afterwards.
I agree - he needs to lose his job and face jail time himself,or possibly take a beating like he gave his child. I can’t know what goes on in a household like that because I didn’t grow up in one and don’t live in one now but if any man ever went at one of my loved ones like that it would be the last time he did.
