If its real (which I hope it ain't) then I hope she waits till they are both asleep and strangles the life out of them, preferably using the same belt. Awful way to bring up kids, and disgraceful behavior by the parents who also don't deserve them.

Police Won't File Charges Against Texas Judge Caught on Video Beating Daughter

A Texas family law judge whose daughter secretly videotaped him savagely beating her seven years ago won't face criminal charges because too much time has elapsed, police said Thursday.

Aransas County Court-at-Law Judge William Adams likely would have been charged with causing injury to a child or other assault-related offenses for the 2004 beating of his then-16-year-old daughter, but the five-year statutes of limitations expired, Rockport Police Chief Tim Jayroe said.

"We believe that there was a criminal offense involved and that there was substantial evidence to indicate that and under normal circumstances ... a charge could have been made," Jayroe said. He said the district attorney determined he couldn't bring charges, and that police would discuss the case with federal prosecutors even though he doesn't believe federal charges would apply.

Hillary Adams, now 23, posted the 8-minute clip on YouTube last week that shows her father viciously lashing her with a belt and trying to force her to bend over her bed to be beaten despite her wails and pleas to stop. The clip had received more than 2.4 million hits as of Thursday, and police began investigating Wednesday after hearing from concerned citizens.

Yup - daughter filmed this as a kid and held it until she was an adult. By that time the statute of limitations applied. Her dad still needs a severe "attitude adjustment."

While I agree that a timely spanking can make wonders, it's too bad this mofo's time prescribed. I would have had him jailed with someone he incarcerated for child abuse so he was forced to bend over, over and over and over again. And the mother as well!

This thread is what's wrong with society today. Physical punishment is seen as just the most horrific crime. The girl disobeyed her father's order, he tried to issue a punishment (people have been getting spanked with belts for ages so he's not the first), the girl refused to accept the punishment. I feel sorry for the family that their private life was displayed to world.

This entire video was a setup the girl is no saint she broke the law by downloading illegal content (looks like it wasn't the first time) and had planned this by ****ing him off and disobeying so he gets furious and goes overboard

I don't condone him going overboard and he should have controlled himself to perhaps 2-3 hits however isn't it a crime to provoke someone into behaving a certain way or entrapment...not sure

Also title of this thread needs to be fixed she was allowed to use the internet she just wasn't allowed to break the law in his home using his internet connection...it's a fair and reasonable rule it's just funny that she happened to do something illegal AND have the camera setup at the same time....what a coincidence right oh and holding the tape as bribery perhaps for the next several years? something to think about

Then you would just as well be holding the belt?

Awful. Dunno how you can sleep at night?, and I'll not bother arguing with you either, as your views are light years (not miles or kilometers) apart from mine.

I appreciate that you took the time to respond to my question but please make the effort to read my post before actually responding and making such wild accusations

Also i'm not sure what you are trying to imply by referring to my views being light years away from yours are you suffering from warped or distorted views? i know my views on this are perfectly fine for a reasonable person so i can only assume you have some mental issues that need resolving? whatever the case i know you get some sick thrill from attempting to take the moral high ground by first watching the video and then saying people shouldn't have easy access to it after you have viewed it to satisfy your own (potentially sick) curiosity surely the title was enough for you

As for how i can sleep at night? Normally like most normal people on this planet unlike you i'm not shallow and you should be ashamed for wishing to blind people from viewing this by reporting it, who exactly do you think you are to censor this kind of material? the only reason this article has generated so much media attention is purely because of the video and you want to stop that so nothing can take place from it? shame on you if anything you may aswell be holding the belt for trying to hide away the bad things that happen

Although i can understand your point of view where this video can cloud peoples judgement (e.g. yours) and the misleading title just screams sensationalism again what is your complaint about my posts that make you felt the need to hint it was "awful" or "Then you would just as well be holding the belt?" I'm quite curious to learn more about how your mind works as it has clearly read something in my post that just wasn't there

Just to clarify my stance as it's clear you have missed it i'm for reasonable disicpline (especially for illegal acts) however i'm against the excessive punishment he used nor do i favor hitting a child as punishment

That being the case how he punishes his child is his own business and if they wish to smack them a few times then that's fine the problem with this guy is he went overboard i know that and i don't support it

I'm also against the girl for fabricating a scenario and misbehaving (engaging in illegal activity) for the purpose of recording and blackmail

I support neither the judge or his daughter they are both wrong in what they did if you find that "awful" of me then so be it i can sleep at night because i know that two wrongs don't make a right.

So perhaps get off your high horse and actually what is written before placing some bizarre kind of view on it.

Specifically

?If the public must know, just prior to the YouTube upload, a concerned father shared with his 23-year-old daughter that he was unwilling to ? be her primary source of financial support,? said a statement issued by the judge?s lawyer, William Dudley.

The judge said his ?bright and gifted? daughter, once a piano prodigy who played at Carnegie Hall, was also spoiled and lazy. He said she dropped out of college and was working part-time at a video game store.

The father said he didn?t approve, so he threatened to take away his daughter?s Mercedes and stop supporting her financially.

Hillary responded with a threat, her father?s statement said.

?Hillary warned her father if he reduced her financial support, and took away her Mercedes automobile, which her father had provided, he would live to regret it.?

perhaps, but chances are this was not the first or last of the beatings. There was no way to know her father was going to beat her if it wasnt common practice.

def makes things interesting, granted it doesnt change that fact that the father was a complete lunatic. just deny access to the computer... anything involving something like downloading music or games does not warrant a grown man beating a 16 year old with a belt.

In the begining of the video it was already tried, she still used it, and reinstalled the program used to download the stuff.

The only other option that he didnt try was to destroy the computer.

I will admit and say again, he went to far. But sometimes children will not listen or follow rules unless they get a crack on the rear ( and sometimes even then they wont ). Other wise its just all talk, and children and even adults know this. What do you think the saying " its all talk " means

ok, so password protect the computer, use user accounts to limit the installing of programs, etc. There are always options other than beatings - this was just ONE of his reasons for the beatings. He did not simply lose it this ONE time because she installed kazaa.

Do you really think she would have filmed him if he had hit her just this time?

She was obviously beaten several times before that video took place. If she hadn't filmed it, nobody would have believed her (remember, the guy is a judge).

Dude just Get over it , there is a diffrence between to far and far enough, sorry that you have yet to grasp the concept. And that your kids must be to stupid to realize not to touch a stove or flame when on.

Edited as guessing your one of the parents of a**hole kids that go around biting people, cussing strangers out or parent of the pokemon kid that got on youtube yesterday or something, either way whatever have a nice life gtfover yourself.

The guy is a nut job, abuser and should be removed from the bench. That video was disgusting. He should be imprsionbed as well and then he would find out real quick what it feels like to be abused.

    • But building your own.. what? You can't build anything like the Steam Machine yourself. Even trying to get close costs a good deal more. Even just the CPU cooler in their price comparison is as big as the entire Steam Machine. If you want a regular gaming PC, then by all means, build that. If you want a a small console-like PC for the living room that is good for gaming, I'm not sure what else is a better deal. In the GN review, they only mentioned a small form factor Dell, which is like twice the size and hundreds of dollars more expensive.
    • Those are some popular multiplayer games. But hardly "all". Just those that don't work on Linux currently due to specific anti-cheat implementations. I think it's also fair to point out the literally thousands of games that don't work on the PS5. And it's not locked at 1080p. That's the default, which you can change.
    • Ubuntu Livepatch arrives on Arm64 to eliminate system reboots for kernel updates by Paul Hill Canonical has just announced that its Livepatch service now supports computers with Arm64 processors. For those who are not familiar, Livepatch allows users to apply important kernel updates without any service interruption or rebooting. While home users will benefit from this, it’s even more important for critical machines that absolutely should not be going offline at all. The feature is available as part of Ubuntu Core 26 for Arm64 and Ubuntu Core 20 and onwards for AMD64. According to Canonical, this will improve the security of systems that aren’t security-maintained daily or weekly, and it helps organizations work towards Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) compliance. If you are familiar with Ubuntu, you probably know that most packages can be updated without having to restart the system. There is one big exception to this, and that’s the kernel; it typically requires you to reload the system to boot into the new kernel. With Livepatch, Canonical has done something so that you don’t need to restart to begin using the new kernel. Aside from Ubuntu Core 26, users with Arm64 chips running Ubuntu 26.04 LTS can also use Livepatch. If you want to learn more about Livepatch, check out its product page. There, you can also find a button to join Ubuntu Pro (it’s free for several home devices) so that you can enable Livepatch. By linking your computer to Ubuntu Pro, you will also extend the life of your Ubuntu install from five years to ten years. If you are running Ubuntu, let us know in the comments if you have been looking forward to this feature on your ARM-based computer. If you’ve had a compatible AMD64 machine for a while and never used this feature, let us know why in the comments!
