• Texas Judge Who Beat Daughter in Shocking Vid: ‘I Haven’t Done Anything Wrong’

  In reply to ADNIL.

  My mother beat me in the same manner as the judge did, over and over. And I still hate and resent her to this very day. I have no respect for her.

  Because my father took the time to show me the error of my ways, I learned far more than from my mother’s showing me the wrath of a woman scorned. My mother didn’t teach me anything except to flinch.
