As an American, please don't attack me, I must say that it seems that "freedom" here seems to mean, "The Freedom to do what you want, until you are caught, and then we shall all act horrified".Comando96 said:
Also, as a parent and college student, I must say that sometimes physical discipline is required and it should suck as badly for the parent as the child. Otherwise, you have no soul.
I was also whipped a few times as a child with a black, leather belt. Every time I deserved the punishment. I learned that horrible actions have consequences, my 2 or 3 lashes were enough for that lesson.
This terrible shitbag of skin is just ABUSIVE....
well, you can say it. people are just rude and thoughtless a lot: sometimes me too, although i try to at least not be overly rude or ignorant. what's your opinion?viranimus said:
Yeah I'll repeat all the UN collected statistics I please >.>Banthius said:
USA, 3 times more deaths from child abuse from the UK, Germany, France & Japan combined.
The USA prides itself on individualism... Texas has the lowest interferences with families and the highest death rates from abuse. Statistics don't lie... sitting in ignorance asking someone not to "insult their country"... fine sure... no wonder China is taking over the planet with the worlds richest nation stuck in concrete mentally.
Violence as a method of discipline is a substitute for lack of alternative parenting measures and more commonly the lack of intelligence on the part of the parent.
Discipline can be drilled into the child from a young age with things like the naughty step and that mentality then extends throughout the rest of the childhood as the parental authority is listened to out of habit, rather than fear(of pain) or incentive(sweets, toys) both alternatives being the solutions for those who know no better.
Watching my best friend raise his child he has never hit him but using disciplining methods that create a self awareness of the error at hand, and parental authority subsequently rather than pain when the error of their ways may not even be known at the time... pah. Why am I even bothering with this...
I think he should no longer be allowed to serve as a judge for his behavior. Something like that is inexcusable in every way. I'd also like to add that as additional punishment he should be locked in a cage with 3 professional MMA fighters for an hour. That is all.
This post was really refreshing. I seem to be seeing far too many 'BUT THE LAW IS THE LAW' and 'AUTHORITIES ARE OUR FRIENDS' posts at the moment, so thanks for this.Keepeas said:
I actually stopped watching this video after a minute, literally after the first smack. It was horrifying. I've seen some sick shit on this here internet but this is about the worst thing I've ever seen. I forced myself to watch the rest so I could see it in it's proper context and form an actual opinion, but I had to take regular breaks and I actually feel a little bit sick.
What's worse is that this is apparently from 2004 and the girl was only prompted to post the video after a totally different bout of abuse from her dad. How much did this poor girl suffer at the hands of this demented arsehole in seven years? It's actually quite frightening. I'm glad she's getting some sort of retribution now, but this is why some people just shouldn't have kids.
I've got some American buddies and I'll be on the Facebooks tomorrow, shopping this video around amongst them. I think a couple of them are still in Texas so they might be able to spread it around.
For now though I need to watch some Homestar Runner cartoons and try to cheer myself up. That video really disturbed me.
And I thought over a decade of screamers and eastern european porn had toughened up my internet tolerance. There are some things that even I can't stand to watch. Good to know I still have a soul I guess.
I see some people saying it was somewhat justified. That just goes to show just how backwards the US is. Allowing child abuse... This man should be killed off in my opinion. The wife should be in prison for life.
I dont support death sentances. Since if you fuck up and kill the wrong person, its too late make amends. But for monsters like this guy, I have no problem with it. Im the kind of guy who hates kids and doesnt want them because he knows he would cause the child more pain than it deserves(not physical pain mind you), but even I know that beating a child is wrong. And if you can look your child in the eye when she is screaming at you, pleading you to stop HITTING HER WITH A FUCKING BELT, you are seriously damaged.

I really feel sorry for you reasonable Texans...Phlakes said:I believe this is appropriate-Torrasque said:
Yeah, we Texans don't want them either. At least, we reasonable Texans.
I'm sure most people have "great" impressions of you when you introduce yourself as being from Texas.
you both know this wasn't in texis it was in Aransasravensheart18 said:
Abuse does not include physical discipline of a child if reasonable and moderate and inflicted by a parent or guardian for restraining or correcting a child. Listed as not reasonable or moderate for correcting or restraining: -- Throwing, kicking, burning, biting, cutting, striking with a closed fist, shaking a child under 3, striking or other actions which result in any non-accidental injury to a child less than 18 months, interfering with a child's breathing, threatening a child with a deadly weapon, striking a child on the face, or any other act that is likely to cause bodily harm greater than transient pain or minor temporary marks. [Statute says this is an illustrative and not exclusive list]. Age, size, condition of the child, and the location of the injury and frequency or recurrence of injuries shall be considered in determining "reasonable" or "moderate."

full law if you want it
I don't think this falls under Moderate or reasonable and leaves more then minor temporary marks.
all he needs to be screaming next
...that was pretty dark and I am probably going to hell for it

Do not comment on it in that manner if you havent seen the video. I dont know how tolerant people are in other countries of child abuse but here in Sweden we treat child abuse like its the plague. Beat children and you arent considered a human being here.Eri said:
What was depicted in that video wasnt light spanking, it was a full on beating. It was assault, and frankly, had that happened to me, I would have found the nearest sharp object and fought for my dear life.
