Judge wears daughter out with a belt for using the internet

[Vertnut]

i heard she has cerebral palsy, baited or not that was a beating. over downloading music? who wasn't downloading mp3's in 2004?

I said it was probably excessive. I got worse...a lot worse. She's apparently healthy enough to scheme and plan. My girls got spanked (not at 16), but I never went near that far, and they turned out great.

I have been thinking this the whole time. She might have been really putting on an acting job. Not obeying so she can get her parents to go over the top. She apparently does have some mental disorder, I just can't remember off the top of my head and haven't had time to look it up.

Ataxic cerebral palsy, apparently.

i was beginning to lose hope in parents these days. too many "lets talk about our feelings and discuss why you did what i told you not to do" instead of "get the belt your getting a whipping!!"

i can see it now, there will be some media fuss over this and some massive debate.....when i was a kid, i got the shit beat out of me for misbehaving and i learned my lesson. if i have kids i plan to use the belt on them as well

When I got a beating I didn't learn shit, I preferred the easy way out. Now when they started grounding me and taking things away, that was a different story..

Right! My mom broke a wooden spoon over my ass, went and got another, and wailed on me some more - and the whole time it was really hard not to laugh.

That's when the fun punishments started. She was a fan of me cleaning things with a toothbrush. I once cleaned all the wood siding on the whole house with a fucking toothbrush.

so after watching the video i posted in that link above, i blame the mother for the strange ass timing on the release of this video.

it seems like this video was released to drag the father through the mud as a result of issues not related to this beating, more related to a divorce.

i still think the guy is an asshole so whatever happens to him he deserves. just sucks the mother is a manipulative bitch that will get off scot-free.

Excessive for sure! This wasn't just a punishment. You can see by the father's actions that he has lost his temper. The taunting, hovering over the kid, screaming, cussing, looks like he even backhanded her in the head once. I have spanked my kid several times with my hand. The difference is I do it as punishment and not in anger. If I am pissed and angry I have no business raising a hand to my kid. I don't think using a belt, spoon, paddle, or any other device is appropriate. My dad spanked me with a belt that wasn't doubled over. The tip of the belt wrapping around and snapping caused open bleeding wounds. There is zero way for a parent to judge how much pain you are causing if you aren't using your hand. Later after my dad saw what damage had been done he was distraught and swore to never use a belt again.

The real victims are the music artists that didn't get paid for the downloads.

maybe a tad excessive. at the same time i dont think kids are getting spanked anymore because of crap like this. i guess nobody is going to get hit with a switch anymore like i was when i was little... sometimes kids need to be disciplined. i can probably understand this guys anger since she obviously was provoking him. kids seem to have the power. sad.

Way over the top... Im all for spanking but threatening to hit your kid in the face with a belt... relentless hitting her with it...its wrong. I hope that fucker goes to jail and gets his ass raped.

The attitude is wrong, the aggression is wrong, the dad being so mad he went to get another belt is wrong.

Spanking/disciplining your children is not a form of releasing anger. Its a punishment. People need to separate their anger from a punishment

I don't care whether you received corporal punishment as a kid or not, what he and the mom did was bad parenting. Talking to your kid like that is totally inappropriate regardless of what they did. Parents are supposed to shepherd their kids, not be king/queen of the house and piss all over everyone to show how dominant they are. If you want your kids to grow up resenting you, just keep talking to them like that. Further, corporal punishment should not be done in the heat of the moment. It's a proven fact that a parent is much more likely to go overboard if they spank, swat, etc. when they are pissed off. Don't get me wrong, I've done it, but I'm also man enough to admit that there are times where in hindsight I think I was too severe.

I’m not trying to start a debate about whether corporal punishment is proper or not. IMHO, every kid is different and so you have to custom tailor the punishment to the particular kid. For example, I could spank one of my boys until my belt broke and he still wouldn't care, but if I take the computer, Xbox and/or TV away for a couple of days, it's the end of the world. As a result, I've learned that's the way I go with his punishment. On the other hand, one of my kids is just the opposite, so that’s the way I go with him. Parenting isn’t a “one size fits all” type thing.

As a parent, I'll give an "amen". Most of the folks on this board aren't parents, or have kids old enough to have been through it.

Well in this case I think it was for an ultimate zing.
