Judge's Daughter who was beaten Intervoewed with her Mom

she sure as hell didn't seem
handicapped when she was breaking
the law by illegally d/l material
from the internet.

where was her disability then ????

you and her are using that as an
excuse from punishment.
she is not mentally retarded and she
was well aware of her actions, else
she would have never video taped
the incident.

once again, bullshit !!!

if her intentions were to protect
her sister, then she would have released
the video in 2004 when it happened.
Her sister no longer lives with the family
now when the video was released.

She didn't release the video then
because she could have been prosecuted
for illegally d/l music and games.
She only waited til her 7 yrs
statute of limitations was up.

Once again, selfish agenda. She was
saving her own ass from prosecution.

And now she will get a million dollar book deal
and maybe even a hollywood movie after
the incident. She will get rich.

That makes her a money and fame whore !!!

3:00 to 3:06 into the video

Listen to the parents while they are off camera
[link to www.youtube.com]

Does anyone hear what the mom is saying?

Dad: You started it
Mom: That is enough
Dad: You started it
Mom: That doesn't mean you have to keep on, That is enough

Dad (back in room): I never got my licks in

Taking away the computer or internet would have worked too.

Dad: You started it
Mom: That is enough
Dad: You started it
Mom: That doesn't mean you have to keep on, That is enough

Dad (back in room): I never got my licks in

No, but can we say it has never happened?

He who casts the first stone...and all that?

I have stated I don't condone violence and there are other ways, and what the Dad did was wrong, but to publish it online rather than work it out with the father and lawmakers behind closed doors (it is a family matter after all) is not right, especially after waiting so long for it to happen.

Also, if you disagree with the father's response, then how can you accept it is OK for the mother to nod her head in agreement with the interviewer when he says hitting is bad, like she is all innocent and was a StepfordWife and hence her response?

Hitting is bad in any circumstance, however gold digging, publicity seeking, vengative motives and discrediting a man's response and his livelyhood after the fact is even worse.

This is a family matter, perhaps that is where it should have remained.

Some kids are so badly beaten they end up in hospital, or are raped by their parents all their young lives... this guy tried to discipline his daughter for downloading ILLEGAL copyrighted material form the internet, and he is a JUDGE, how would that have ended up for him if he hadn't?

He apologised, so has my Mom, I forgave her and wouldn't dream of trying to ruin her life now by exposing what she did, plus she feels guilty as hell, and she has to live with that for the rest of her life, no doubt Judge feels the same.

People are so quick to condemn, that they have zero empathy or understanding, just because the guy is a Judge.

Perhaps we should all step back and realize what vultures we have all become, baying for the blood of a person who may have made a misjudgement, and how would this affect his line of work?

Stop making the Dad out to be the victim, and take a look at the bigger picture and inside yourselves

Taking it up now is to protect her mother and to expose his abuse, to force him to admit he has problems and get treatment. She obviously warned him and he didn't believe she would do it. I've been in an abusive relationship. She protected him legally by waiting, and she didn't have to.

But that doesnt mean she's going allow her sister to go through what she's gone through and her father to go on bullying her mother or her. Thats what abusive people do, they like to control you, and bully you, and you live under fear of them.

She did the right thing by bringing it out past the point he could go to jail but in order to expose his own ghost in the closet so he wouldn't be able to walk over her mother and sister.

YES, I think you are !

There is NEVER a good reason to beat children.

7 min long beating is one heck of a punishment, I sure pray to god your kids never do anything wrong.

I think when he says, you started it was because mom told dad that she was back at downloading again, but I don't know that's speculation.

Mom did tell him it was enough, twice.

Should she have physically stopped it? Yes.
If she was abused herself might that affect her decision in stopping it? Yes.

There is so much behind the scene with an abuser. Much speculation.

My father beat my siblings and myself comparatively to that, all the time when we were kids. Once we were age 4-5, you were old enough to get the belt in our house. And when he was a kid, his father beat him and his siblings much the same way, and sometimes worse.

Disciplining your children is critical in today's world. Not enough parents do it. Too many people have been turned into the largest wimps on the face of earth and claim hitting your kids is so wrong. Grow a pair of balls, no one ever said disciplining your children was easy.

The one thing my father never did was curse at us. Ever. He simply walked up, told us what we did wrong, gave the belt, and said he expected it not to happen again. The only thing i disagreed with in this whole thing is the fact that he cursed at her and told her he would hit her in the face. To me, that was wrong.

that all depends on how long
it takes for the lesson to
be learned.

If you listen to the video,
not once does she say she is
sorry for d/l OR she will never
do it again.

I guess even the 7 min discipline
did not work. She was not
remorseful for breaking the
law OR her father's rules.

This is a perfect sign of a
kid in rebellion.

Dude,the Mom and daughters could have left at any time, the Judge was not trying them up in a dank basement right? And they live in the land of the free right? So many others have seperated, so what was their excuse?

If Mom said it was enough, then why did she relish in the beating and agressive behaviour she gave to her daughter?

I mean, the Dad was wrong, but for the Mom to intervene?

THE MOM?

Sick, I tells ya, just sick.

Nothing was downloaded, she said she couldnt because it was overseas, she didnt have the means, nor the funds to download anything overseas.

Thanks for my first ever pin!

I am surprised that no-one has commented, am I the only one who feels that this is unreasonable and a plot to destroy the Judge for a lapse of Judgement over 7 years ago?

Why do I always end up taking the minority (yet just) point of view?

I am a grandmother who also got spanked and sometimes even whipped like that - on a rare occasion. I am not emotionally or physically scared because of it. I am well mannered with morals and integrity. I fully believe in discipline of varying degree for various offenses.

The girl disobeyed her parents, defied the 'lay on your belly' order and she technically was being a thief.

BTW. P2P being illegal is the real problem here.

A child is not born with the knowledge of right and wrong. Its up to the adult to teach them that - not beat it into them. beating is wrong no matter which way you look at it!
That POS ADULT should be beat to find out that beating does not work - Hes a fucking judge and should be setting an example ---good fucking example he is!!!!

Good for her to finally exposing his fucking, lieing, corrupt ass!!!!
