World's worst father?

[Double J]

Perhaps not. But he may well be the world's worst father who also happens to be a family court judge.

The video that accompanies this link is definitely NSFW due to the language, but it's also not for the faint-hearted who don't like to watch children get beaten with not one but two belts - thanks for helping out, Mom! - for the egregious sin of using a computer for something not related to schoolwork.

Daddy Dearest now claims the video "looks worse than it is." Rotten *******.

It should also be noted that the child being beaten suffers from cerebral palsy.

Ahhhh! Texas. Land of the free and home of the grave.

Per the note accompanying the video, which was posted by the daughter. She claims her ataxic cerebral palsy fueled her "passion for technology" and made her prone to download pirated content. Please note that I am not, in the least, defending what the father did in this video (shot in 2007).

The last resort of a coward who is unable to earn respect.

Nice to see he has a younger child.

You know, infant child abuse can cause CP.

Maybe he can hit her across the head with the belt and cure the CP? I'm sure he has tried that already.

I saw this a few days ago, and I thought it was Rick Perry. I don't get put off by most thing in life, but this video irked me. The mother is just as much to blame, although her dumb ass thought a spanking was necessary after her daughter just got destroyed with a belt. Idiots...

I hope there's an awful lot of Texans who take their belts off in front of this judge and remind him of this.

The video was shot in 2004. I think she was using p2p networks to download music and games, but I think I read something where it was "commercially unavailable" material. In any sense, I think a sliver of the blame has to lie with the trade groups (RIAA, MPAA) who push these outlandish campaigns equating sharing of media to a very serious crime. It's a damn civil matter. It's also not ****ing piracy unless the person if profiting from the sale of the material.

Just chalk it all up to "Texas Justice".

What's the fuss? LaRussa put on the hit and run.

Please note my disclaimer -- I do not condone what this father did (and this mother abetted). I am just thinking there might be more (or less) than meets the eye here w.r.t. the cerebral palsy issue. But, to repeat ... CP or no, the father and mother were clearly in the wrong.

 

[Raiders]

Sick, twisted parents with pseudo-sexual perversions. I think that about covers it.

 

[Steak Snabler]

Whistling past the graveyard at the mention of "world's worst father" ...

I thought this thread was going to be about Lindsay Lohan's dad.

I think the mother - now an ex-wife - said the guy had an addiction.
She also said she was brain-washed by him and did what he told her.

That's no excuse for that.

But there could also be more to this meets the eye ..

While there is a lot of outrage going on, I don't think there is going to be anything criminal to come from it, according to what I read this morning.

Statute of limitations has expired. Too bad this didn't come out sooner.

There's still an opportunity to derail and ruin his career.

She got her butt whipped for doing something she was told not to do.

What's the problem?

Seven years ago and now she doing the rounds playing the role of victim. And no, the dad should not be penalized, punished, or even scorned for whipping his child's butt for disobedience.

 

[Double J]

There's so much I want to say to that post.

Instead, I'll just shake my head and weep for society that someone actually thinks the actions of that cowardly piece of **** are worthy of being defended.
