Discipline or Abuse

A video of a father punishing his daughter has gotten thousands of hits on YouTube. People around the country have different ways of trying to discipline their kids but this man takes it way to far. The father County Court-at-Law Judge William Adams is caught on video beating his 16-year old daughter Hilary for almost seven minutes with a belt. Psychologist George Holden said, “People may find it fascinating because spanking is a part of our culture but this is clearly an incident where it’s gone way wrong.” Most people seeing the video agree. The daughter was being punished for using some type of illegal file sharing program on the internet. Being that it was his daughter he was not punished for the actions he took. But people investigating this case have stated if it was someone else then he would of gone to jail. Typical spankings are from two to five spanks with an open hand. Anything other then that in my opinion should be considered abuse. Who ever does it should be punished. yourlife.usatoday.com/parenting-family
