Texas Judge Has Visits With Daughter Limited

McALLEN, Texas— A Texas family law judge seen beating his older daughter in a video she posted on YouTube has been placed under a temporary restraining order, and his ex-wife's attorney said Friday it effectively prevents him from visiting his younger daughter.

Under the order issued Thursday by another judge, Aransas County Court-at-Law Judge William Adams is forbidden from visiting his 10-year-old daughter without getting permission from the girl's mother, his ex-wife. The order also says Adams can't disparage the woman or drink alcohol within 24 hours of seeing his child.

A father is a compassionate, loving, leader of the family, and soft place to fall! Every child needs a father that meets this standard!
This man is no father, but a mean bully and a coward! Pick on someone your own size that carries and equal weapon!

Correcting a child is one thing. Taunting, abusing, whether verbal or physical is another.

He was out of control. His language and manner of hitting her with the belt shows that.

I'm all for corporal punishment to correct a wayward child. Time-outs and other passive methods do not work in my opinion.

Go to any mall or anywhere children and teenagers gather. For the most part do they look like they have been trained how to act in public? Are they respectful?

The generation who raised these kids were probably corrected and trained (or maybe not) using corporal punishment. When they had kids they decided they were not going to beat their kids like they were and use time-outs or whatever.

What I am wondering, is how are the teenagers and children going to train and correct their children when they have them?

Maybe not at all. Scary isn't it?

I grew up with a mother just like this guy!
When she'd get drinking, episodes like this would happen, on a pretty regular basis.
She died when I was still a teenager but if she was alive today, I wouldn't speak to her!
I did call the cops on my mother and their response was "we didn't se her hit you".
So much for child abuse protection in the 70's!
