Don't see anything wrong with the spanking. The cursing at her was definitely over the top. Would like to know what she did to deserve the spanking. I'm guessing from the language that she stole?

Oh, well then....

"Judge Adams himself spoke with the station Wednesday, claiming the beating was "not as bad as it looks on tape." He also told KRIS-TV that he had contacted Judicial Review in Austin and "more will come out during the investigation."

I hope he goes to jail & find out what people think of men who beat children.

The video was filmed in 2004 and the daughter just posted it.

All of you PPs who keep referring to it as "spanking," he is not spanking her, he is BEATING her.

I literally felt sick to my stomach and wanted to cry when I saw that.

And I have never been hit, so it wasn't that I could relate.

These parents are monsters. My heart goes out to this girl and her little sister.

It's horrible. And the way he speaks to her is sickening. But his wife's reaction is even worse. How can you condone someone doing that to your child.

Is that his wife? And her solution is to take the belt... and spank the girl herself?

I hope they take her away from them. My parents spanked me. They never spoke to me like that while they did it. Gods that poor girl. I hope they both go to jail.

My four year old slapped me on my leg yesterday while playing. It hurt like hell. I couldn't believe how much it hurt -- with his tiny little four year old hand. I cannot fathom being whipped by an adult male with a belt. Sick.

I hope someone reviews his decisions to see if he was involved in any abuse cases. Anyone who thinks hitting someone like that is justified should not be in any kind of position to judge.

yeah, I am ok with spanking, but that is horrible. No belts, no teenagers and no anger. He is an asshole.

Wow. I don't spank my kids. I could understand spanking by itself in some circumstances. But the meanness, the swearing, the hateful way he spoke to her. Horrible.

Never spank in anger.

Let's hope he goes to prison and gets the sh!t beaten out of him on the regular.

This has gone viral. Let's hope he at least doesn't get reelected.
