Extremely Disturbing Video: Texas Judge Caught Whipping Daughter With Belt

Police are investigating an extremely disturbing video that has gained national attention, purportedly showing a Texas judge whipping his daughter repeatedly with a belt.
According to the video’s description — which says it was recorded and uploaded to YouTube by the judge’s daughter herself — Aransas County Court-at-Law Judge William Adams beat the 16-year-old girl “as punishment for using the Internet to acquire music and games that were unavailable for legal purchase at the time.” It said she has ataxic cerebral palsy, which led to a “passion for technology” — something her father strictly forbid.
The description, signed by Hillary Adams, says the video was recorded in 2004 but was just posted Oct. 27. Hillary told local Texas station KZTV 10 she was waiting for the right time to release it. Judge Adams is running for re-election.
Judge William Adams (Aransas County)
“My father’s harassment was getting really bad, so I decided to finally publish the video that I had been sitting on for 7 years,” Hillary told the station.
In an interview with local NBC affiliate KRIS-TV, Judge Adams confirmed he is the man in the video.
“It happened years ago..I apologized,” Adams said.
Asked by the station whether he thought the beating was excessive, he replied, “It’s not as bad as it looks on tape.”
A statement on the Aransas County website said it is “aware of the video posted on YouTube regarding County Court-at-Law Judge William Adams, and the matter is now under review by the Police Department.”
YouTube
Before Adams himself came forward, Rockport police chief Tim Jayroe told the International Business Times he couldn‘t confirm the man’s identity but said the police would “try to contact folks identified in the video to determine authenticity.”
Jayroe said no complaints have been filed against Adams in the past.
Gawker also spoke with a friend of Hillary’s before Adams came forward who said the man in the video is undoubtedly the judge.
“It’s him,” J. Andre Bardin told the site. “That’s his voice, that’s his mannerisms, and that is his house.”
YouTube
The seven-and-a-half-minute video, allegedly filmed with a hidden camera in Hillary’s bedroom, shows extreme physical and emotional abuse. Adams screams at the girl, belt in hand, and demands she get down on the bed onto her stomach. When she doesn’t comply, he repeatedly beats her with the belt on her legs and elsewhere on her body, undeterred by her screams and cries of pain.
“I’m going to beat you into submission,” he says.
At one point a woman — the judge’s wife, according to the video’s description — comes in to observe, then joins in, telling the girl to take the beating “like a grown woman.” After a few moments the judge comes back, saying “I never got my lick in.”
YouTube
“You don’t deserve to be in this f**king house. Disobedient,” he says. “What happened to you Hillary? Once you were an obedient, nice little girl. Now you lie, cheat, steal.”
He threatens the girl that if she talks back to her parents or uses the computer inappropriately again, “I’m going to take you in here and wear your f**king ass out with this belt. That‘s what it’s come to.”
Though the video was uploaded Oct. 27, it didn’t attract much attention until Adams posted it on the website Reddit Tuesday night. From there, outlets including Gawker picked it up and it quickly went viral overnight. It has since amassed more than 600,000 views.
CONTENT WARNING — EXTREMELY GRAPHIC AND DISTURBING IMAGES
Of her decision to record the incident seven years ago, Hillary told KZTV, “It had happened before, and had been escalating.”
“I set up a camera, and I caught it,” she said.
Hillary said her parents are now separated and that her mother, emotionally abused herself, was “severely manipulated into assisting the beating and should not be blamed for any content in this video.”
“The judge’s wife has since left the marriage due to the abuse, which continues to this day, and has sincerely apologized and repented for her part and for allowing such a thing, long before this video was even revealed to exist,” the description says.
The description ends with a warning about re-electing Adams.
“Judge William Adams is not fit to be anywhere near the law system if he can’t even exercise fit judgement as a parent himself. Do not allow this man to ever be re-elected again. His “judgement” is a giant farce. Signed, Hillary Adams, his daughter.”
A Facebook page has been created dedicated to stopping Adams’ re-election. Less than 24 hours since the video went viral, the page garnered more than 4,400 Facebook “likes” by Wednesday morning and continues to grow.
On her Twitter page, Hillary said Wednesday morning she‘s overwhelmed by the outpouring of support she’s received, though she’s feeling “some regret” for posting the video.
“I’m feeling some regret for publishing the video because to ruin my own father is heavy indeed. But I really want him to seek help,” she wrote.
In two follow-up messages, she wrote again that her father desperately needs help.
“It is my wish that people stop threatening my father and start offering professional help. That is what he really needs,” she said. “Please spread the word that my father needs professional help and not hatred. We can offer him the tools to be a better person.”
Editor’s note: This post has been updated with Judge Adams’ response and confirmation that he is the man in the video.

Posted on November 2, 2011 at 1:21pmexactly… No wonder this country’s men are now “girly men”… wearing “skinny jeans” and trying to look and act like women… The comments of most here are acting like this was some sort of assault… completely overlooking the girl disobeyed in whatever brought the problem (STEALING, LYING…etc) and then when the father asked her to lay down to receive it on her behind (the most able to take it place), she disobeys even further.
Back in the day, that’s how ALL families did discipline and we were a much greater nation then. Discipline today is viewed as abuse. So is the ARMY and MARINES “assaulting” us when we go through Basic Training? I got worse in basic training… Oh I signed up for that?? meaning I chose it?? Yes, and so did she…she not only broke the moral code at home (lying) but she was STEALING and she broke the law… I guess he could have had her taken to juvinille hall. we all know who well our prison system is a rehabilitating prisonors! yeah right…
STOP WHINING you WHIMPS… spankings hurt a whole lot less than going to prison or getting fired from a job…
Having said all that, there is an age when spankings don’t work anymore.
I remember the last spanking my dad gave me… I turned arond and looked at him with no pain, no crying, no yelling in pain…just a cold stare… that was the last one I ever got. We laugh about it now… I love my dad and he loves me and helped me from becoming a criminal (I was headed that way before

Posted on November 2, 2011 at 1:32pmyes, disturbing, but not disturbing to me like it may be to others, or for the same reasons.
It is apparent to me that had he used his belt appropriately at a much younger age, he would not be using it now. It is obvious he does not know how to use it properly.
When I was sixteen, my dad would have spoken one time, and when he said bend over the bed, you bent over the bed and took your punishment.
The Bible speaks of leaving “stripes of correction”. Nothing wrong with a good thrashing, but you do not use the F bomb and other fowl language.
I am by no means disturbed at his use of a belt, I am just amazed that he does not know how to use it properly, and you can tell that his daughter has no respect for him or his authority.
If you really want to see disturbing, look at the thousands of non disciplined heathen that are protesting around the nation. They did not get a belt when they needed it. Look at their drug use, the sex out in the open, the filth in which they live.
Look at our current prison population. When have generations of people who were not spanked and never learned the meaning of “no”. We have the largest prison population in the world. Our schools used to punish with a paddle, and now look at the discipline problems when they stopped.
People on here will want to lock this man up for trying to create discipline, but you are fine with the parents that raise heathen that have no respect for law or authority.

Posted on November 2, 2011 at 1:37pmadvice for the judge. Make the child wait in the room until your anger is gone. Speak in a civil tone, name the infraction (lying, cheating, disobedience…). Tell them the punishment (specific number of wacks with the paddle, belt….). Make sure they understand you are punishing them because you love them. tell them to bend over the bed, your lap…. give the appropriate amount of wacks. Watch their reaction. If they stomp their foot, act disrespectful, it is time for round two, and double the wacks. Round three generally never comes. Have them sit, come back later, discuss the matter, make sure they understand why you had to punish, give them a hug, let them know you love them, and drive on.

That cowardly father and his sick piece of trash wife should have the holy hell beat out of them…and I’d be MORE than happy to do it. I guarantee they‘d both need EMT’s to even walk away.
Can anyone possibly believe this is the first time these two pieces of human filth have beat their child?
I hope this kid walks out of their disgusting household the very second she can join the military and get FAR away from them. I hope she never lays eyes on either one again after that day except to piss on their graves.
That was NOT punishment or discipline. That was two evil parents finding an excuse to go over the top and fullfill their sick needs to beat on a defenseless child.

Posted on November 2, 2011 at 1:54pmHad one of those self proclaimed child raising experts over at our house a number of years ago. They went on and on why spanking was bad and causes violence. When it was time to go, their three year old daughter declared she was not going, and threw a fit. When her mom tried to put a coat on her, she open hand slapped her mom in the face. I had to sit there and bite my tongue and try not to laugh at these fools. All I or my wife had to do with a daughter of the same age is speak, and they did what they were told, when they were told, and smiled while they did it.
I worked with the kid’s father. A few days later he came to me, and asked what it was we did that made our little girls act so obedient. He already knew the answer, and just did not want confrontation with his wife (who wore the pants and the belt).
When you punish at a young age immediately for disobedience, lying, or back talk, you will find very little of those infractions past the age of six.

Not just to bring closure to it in her life quicker, but to have stopped his involvement in any type of law to a dead halt.

It is beyond the age of acceptability for a punishment like that to a disabled female. I don’t care how you try to justify it .. even if the kid deserved a whipping … that was way over the top.

Posted on November 2, 2011 at 2:16pmThe crime wasn’t being disobedient as he stated over and over as whipping her. Although that’s the way it ends up, the real “crime” was acquiring music and games that were not legal to acquire at that time. Which is what? Piracy. And what would be the punishment for that? (If not a minor) Several hundred thousand dollars fine and how many years in prison? Guess he should have just let her learn the hard way, right? Which is worse? Did she continue to “acquire” basically illegal music & games or was that the end of it.

Ataxic Cerebral Palsy:
Low muscle tone and poor coordination of movements is described as ataxic cerebral palsy. Children with ataxic cerebral palsy look very unsteady and shaky. This rare form of cerebral palsy affects the sense of balance and depth perception. Affected persons often have poor coordination and walk unsteadily with a wide based gait, placing their feet unusually far apart. They have a lot of shakiness, like a tremor you might have seen in a very old person, especially when they are trying to handle or hold a small object such as a pen. Because of the shaky movements and problems coordinating their muscles, children with ataxic cerebral palsy may take longer than other children to complete certain tasks such as writing a sentence. This form affects about 5-10 percent of the children diagnosed with cerebral palsy.

The problem is that he was mad and could not possibly communicate any sense of authority to his daughter. If a spanking is justified, it must be done in a very rational way that the child can understand otherwise it must not be given. This was anything but rational. If this girl needed discipline, there are a hundred other rational ways to discipline a sixteen year old and any one of them should have been used first.

By the time the kid reaches 16, the spankings are ended and severe groundings have begun. This guy was over the line with just that alone. The emotional abuse is just the ebola icing on a fecal matter cake.

She has had ataxic cerebral palsy from birth that led her to a passion for technology, which was strictly forbidden by her father’s backwards views.”
So he KNEW she had a problem yet went this direction of outright abuse. Heres an idea JUDGE how about yanking the internet connection?

Posted on November 2, 2011 at 3:13pm@JJACK… In the video @ 3:06 he comes back in and says “I never got my lick in on her”. I agree that a parent needs to discipline their child to teach them boundaries, and I agree that perhaps if she had taken one on the butt it may have ended there. However, this man was in an emotional rage that was controlling his actions and we wanted to take out his anger on her. Again, discipline is ok about using your child, your own flesh and blood that you are supposed to protect, to take out your own anger is abuse.

If you cannot explain why something is wrong using W O R D S and choose to use excessive physical and verbal abuse instead, then you are a miserable human being. It makes you no different than muslims that use honer killing, mutilation, and stoning for every unjust thing. You don’t teach Liberty & Rights to your children by violating those very principles.

Mom takes the belt, to her her 1 in.
the guy tries to get the belt back from mom, and says “give her some more”
tries to get from mom again, & then says “I’ll go get me another”
Mom get’s her one in we are at 15 lashes.
“dad” comes back gives her three more & says “i’ll beat you into submission”
at which point she is on the floor.
shortly after off camera he apparently grabs her by the hair to speak directly at her
says whatever & a full power slap to the face
That’s 19 full power lashes to a child of 12-15 years old.
In her own words “it had happened before & was escalating.”
typical of someone abused she says “it was not that bad”
Now I ask you how was this NOT abuse ?
I see physical, emotional, & verbal abuse.
Swearing at a child in full anger & rage.
Along with threats of MORE.
It is no different than the lashes we see of sharia punishments.
19 in all counting the face slap.
That’s nearly HALF the lashes allowed in Biblical times (40)
the only difference is the bits of bone & metal woven in the lash to tear the flesh.
All because a child in this technical age did what every other child has been doing
she downloaded a few songs. Legal or not.

Posted on November 2, 2011 at 5:41pm@ SavingtheRepublic.com You need to read up on ataxic cerebral palsy. The condition does not lead to an obsession for technology. If so, every Apple user has it. It is often treated with music and games because dancing and playing require motor skills. Ataxic cerebral palsy effects balance and motor skills.
Her father isn’t necessarily backwards because he does not like music and video games. Some people spend too much time wasted on these sources of entertainment (IE Warcrack [Warcraft]). He was trying to focus her energies on more productive skills that require social interaction and will improve her chances in making it in life (like reading a book). Note, he seems to note object to a TV. Heck they have a camcorder, which means he even likes technology himself. He just doesn’t like what he calls a time-waste. His house, his rules. However, this does not excuse his behavior on this matter which totally destroys any shred of dignity in his attempt to raise a child right.
I am all for corporal punishment, if it is done correctly. He was not using it the correct manner. He is overly passionate and let his anger control his actions. A smack on the rear is okay, but when you use all your might repetitively while cursing at your child you have passed the line of corrective actions. He should have traded the belt for the computer. No listen? No computer! It is a privilege to use a computer. That would really kill her obsession.

You should NEVER spank someone with a belt. Spank them with your hand so you know, if it starts to hurt you, then it’s hurting the kid too (therefore stop). Also hard leather inflicts far more pain than a hand… it’s basically the same as getting whipped. It is ABUSE of the child or teen.

My dad is the smartest human being I know, and he never hesitated to kick my ass when I disobeyed, and he was just. My mother never “spared the rod”, not my father when we were kids, and it seemed awful mean back at the time. For me, my brothers and my sisters. You won’t find a family any closer than ours. I have 3 cousins down in Atlanta whose dad (my Uncle obviously) refused to discipline his boys and daughter because his liberation theology church believed corporal punishment was mean. 1 of the the boys is in prison and blames his dad for not knocking sense in to him when he was a kid. The other boy is a drop out and gang member, and the girl is 16 and has a kid that my aunt has to raise because she’s on drugs.
You want to see the results of child pacification? Check out Columbine, take a look at the rejects infesting like parasites, parks, claiming to be the 99%. When I have kids I would dare some candyass to get their panties in a twist when I discipline my kid.

Posted on November 3, 2011 at 3:16amThe punishment should always fit the crime. If a child beats up a kid at school, you give them the switch. If they steal, you take something away from them. If they lie, they lose your trust (i.e. no more trips to friends’ houses using the family car for a while). If they break curfew, they lose the privilege of going out. If they whine, they get deprived of whatever they were whining for.
IMO, spankings are for small children who cannot understand the reasoning behind the rules they are breaking. At 16, they understand perfectly. So, the rules must be rational and have a reason, and the punishment must be appropriate to the offense.
Beating your daughter because she got ahold of some video games is not discipline. Its abuse. This man was taking out his anger on his daughter and his wife.

CORPUS CHRISTI – The ex-wife of Aransas Count Court-at-Law Judge William Adams has responded on Facebook about a video showing her daughter being beaten back in 2004.
Hallie Adams writes: “I am praying for my daughters and me and my family to heal in all ways from emotional and physical abuse, for the current and continuing abuse of my children and me that has been ongoing to end – starting now – for my daughters to both finally be able to go to counseling both individually and as a family group with their Dad’s approval, encouragement, involvement and support, for him to finally make amends to all of us, talk openly with us, and take the first steps to letting our broken family heal.”
Her daughter, Hillary Adams told us today she uploaded the video on October 27th to bring attention to the problems she says she had when she was younger. “My father’s harassment was getting really bad, so I decided to finally publish the video that I had been sitting on for 7 years,” Adams said.

What upset me is that some of you look at it without listening to what she did wrong. Why are so many people disrespectful and disobedient today? Because their parents didn’t love them enough to spank them, and correct them.

There are much better, more effective ways to curb bad behavior, such as not letting them use the phone to talk or text with their friends, not go out on the weekends, or taking away the ability to drive themselves anywhere. Beating? My dad stopped whipping me when I got as tall as him, which wasn’t long; I was 6′4″ in the ninth grade. But that’s beside the point here. This wasn’t punishment, this was anger and bullying let loose in all of its ugly brutishness.
The telling point to me is where the mom says to her to “take it like a woman;” does that mean that mom gets beat, too? Mom should have stepped in earlier and said, “That’s enough! You’ve hit her half a dozen times already!” But no, she wants to give her more. Poor kid has no one to turn to. :(

Posted on November 3, 2011 at 11:16pmIf this is the judge who locked up the border agent, maybe this is karma to be in a video which makes him look foolish. I spanked my kids, and if my 16 year old did those things, I most likely would not have taken a belt to them, but smashed their computer on the spot. I like large visual reminders that stealing or lying will not be tolerated. I have broken new cell phones to make a point and broken Xboxes. I raised my older kids by myself and when I punished them, they remembered it. Maybe not with stripes on their legs, but with things they wanted to use gone. I had no hesitation to take my 17 year old’s car away and sell it. They learned that bad actions have severe consequences and are great young adults today with children who are disciplined. Permissive parents of teens affect generations of children & then cry and wail when the kid goes wrong. Of course they say it is never the kid’s fault, so the kids are left to their own destruction. I see a generation of those kids at the occupy events being “owned” and ruining their lives. Thank the permissive parents who never set any boundaries for them.

Posted on November 4, 2011 at 9:01amWe have been talking about the story of the daughter and her spanking. It seems that most people are focused on his actions, but I find the young woman’s actions to be fat more instructive. While he went further than he should have with her spanking, the daughter was out of line in her behavior. The story doesn’t allude to her other behavior, but I would bet that there were plenty of examples of misbehavior and defiance. Kids that age can have incredibly sharp tongues.
I said when the story broke that there would be blackmail involved. Sure enough, this morning I read of her being angry that her dad took away a Mercedes he had been providing her. It appears that he no longer wished to support this luxury if the young woman wouldn’t stay in school. The bottom line of this story is really an analogy for what is going on nationally. This entitled little twit is the so-called 99%. If she can not have the things she wants but us unwilling to work for she is willing to lay waste to the whole system.
Yes, the dad went too far with the spanking, but the real villain of the story is the ungrateful, thieving, entitled little girl who tried to blackmail her dad.

The company has been charged in the court filing with misdemeanors that include theft by false pretenses, false advertising, and conspiracy, the City Attorney’s office said. In addition to the charges against the company, the complaint accuses former CEO Mark Albarian, executives Robert Fazio and Luis Beeli, and salespeople Charles Boratgis and Stephanie Howard of defrauding customers.

That is until you bring your Muslim beliefs to Europe and America and install Shariah Law. Then it will be, move the Jews to Russia, then Australia, then China, then Madagascar. Fact i that the Jews have always settled in the region now known as Israel. They were under the rule of the Roman, the Ottoman Empire, Syria, etc, etc. However, the Jews always lived there, hence the over thousand year old temple mount that still exists (though a Mosque rests there now).

http://www.ifamericaknew.org/history/origin.html
But you will not accept these sites, as they are written by Zionists, whom you feel are liars and oppressors, when history shows that the Arabs have been the oppressors of the Jews from 700 AD to 1948 AD. This is historical fact. Spout your hate speech elsewhere.

Would that be the Europe who let 6 million of them be killed by Hitler? Or the America that turned away Jewish refugees from Germany so that they had to return to be killed by Hitler? Where do you get your history? Israel was established after WWII by the British/U.N. as an apology to the Jews for what happened in the Holocaust. The borders were drawn so as to affect the fewest Arabs possible (200 in total). That wasn’t good enough, and Jordan, Syria, Egypt, etc, announced their intention to attack Israel as soon as the British were gone. The Arabs told the “Palestinians” to leave or risk being killed with the Jews. Well, long story short, the Arab alliance lost, the Jews were victorious, and the poor Palestinians were not allowed to flee to the countries that told them to run. The Arabs then tried again in ‘67, and ‘73, and lost more land both times so started complaining about losing wars they started. Meanwhile the Jews have appeased and appeased, but the Arabs refuse peace if any Jew lives. I’m sorry, if you read actual history instead of Arab propaganda, maybe you’d be educated, but you’re not. I know, I know, the British/U.N. are Zionist pawns who have rewritten history to bamboozle hayseeds like me. Right, HUGE conspiracy. Got it. Get a brain, then exercise your mouth, for the good of your fellow man.

But of course we are the most civilized decent people. It is called peace through strength and tolerance. We tolerate those that tolerate us. Cross that line and then it is war. Every sovereign nation has a right to defend itself, and it is a sad fact that it causes the death of some people that are innocent. However, we as a nation try to minimize the “collateral damage” of war ever since WWII. Tell that to the USSR when they invade Afghanistan in the 80′s, we supported Afghanistan and its people then. Tell that to Islamic radicals that killed innocent people on 9/11. All is far in Love & War baby. I am all for an EMP dropped on Iran! Preemptive strikes are the only way to prevent another 9/11 or attack here. The only thing the Muslim extremists understand is strength. What caused the Crusades? Look up the Moors invading Europe baby doll.
Every single “Western interference” in the Middle East was brought out by a Muslim extremist invasion or attack. Remember Xerxes coming to Greece for revenge of his father’s death? Darius (his dad) distrupted Greece trade and invaded Greece in 516 BCE first.

Posted on November 2, 2011 at 1:00pmIf this is true, then the matter should be looked further into; if a crime has been commited, in accord with the law, then judge or no, he needs to have his day in court.

Posted on November 2, 2011 at 1:33pmIt’s such bizzare reasoning. I thought liberals didn’t discipline thier kids. How does your statement even make any sense given the content of that video?

Posted on November 2, 2011 at 12:54pmThere’s a fine line between discipline and abuse. I’m guessing he gets off easy.

Posted on November 2, 2011 at 3:31pmI don‘t think it’s fine at all. It’s very clear to the discipliner. If you are spanking because you are angry that is wrong, if you are spanking to correct that is discipline. That girl is clearly too old to be spanked, which is reserved to teach a child that can’t be held accountable other ways.
That man is clearly an abuser, not to be confused with a responsible parent.
