Today's report is she released the video because Daddy bear cut off some of her financial stipend because she dropped out of college.


This wasn't about the girl's emotional trama, it is essentially blackmail and punishment for cutting her allowance off. It's a money grab. That's gotta be worth at least 2 or 3 good whacks.



I'd have traded having to clean out the fat-hog shed for a beating any day.

Some of these replies are true gems!

I have been beat like this girl. NOT at 16 though. At a much younger age, my siblings and I would compare welts. 9-14ish, I got hit with what ever, including an occasional fist. And on several occasions, for something that I didn't do. I learned to aply those beatings to something that I did wrong and got away with. I also used the beatings to man up. I got to a point where I told my self, "This kid that is bullying you CAN'T hit as hard as your Dad"

In my 20's I decided that my father didn't know any better because he had poor role models. I love my dad dearly. He just didn't know better.

Now I will say that when my son was deliberately bad, I used to act like I was as mad as my dad was. CRAZY mad. And yes, I used a belt on him. 3 to 5 whacks. Not 25. If some of you had seen this, you MAY have attempted to beat me!

He is now 16 and I don't lay a hand or belt on him. Not for fear(he is 145lbs, I am 285) but because it wouldn't do any good. The time for physical punishment is long gone. Same for my 13 year old daughter. I think spanking them would be a little wierd, no matter how subdued I did it.

Yeah, I got that too. Makes me think she didn't learn any thing from any punishment, over the line or not.

This post certainly explains a lot.

Doesn't matter why she did it. Fact is she's probably saving other kids from abuse because that SOB likely set many abusive parents free or did not ensure proper justice. His abusive secret come to light and he lose his job.

So we are supposed to be suspicious of her because her father is now going to throw her under the bus to save his ass?

Uh - he's trying to claw his way out from under a huge bus... There's not a single one of us that is perfect. Everybody here has done something they're glad isn't plastered all over the internet.

I'm not a fan of the guy. I'm not excusing his actions. But if we're going to castigate him then we need to throw the book at his daughter as well. She's disabled but somehow managed to video, plot, blackmail, and release a viral vid to the internet... She's not dummy-disabled. She should do just as much time as daddy does.

Maybe he will get thrown in a cell where big bubba will beat the shit out of him.

She was a child when this happened. She can't be prosecuted for filming illegal activity or framing someone. The statute of limitations is up for the criminal activity this bastard perpetuated. At least for this incidence. I'm sure this type of beating would indicate it wasn't a one time event.

So he sees no jail time. The greater good his daughter provided was of making sure this asshole doesn't judge anymore child abuse cases. It's like an alcoholic judge deciding DUI cases. Seriously, if no one knows there is a problem then it's impossible to fix it. But once the problem becomes known it becomes irresponsible not to fix it. The daughter in doing a disservice to her father did a HUGE service to other kids in the same situation. Boo freaking hoo for her father.

As far as none of us being perfect, I can guarantee you that the majority of people have nothing this extreme in their parenting past that they would be afraid would show up on the internet. Maybe a verbal beat down but even then I think the majority of us would not have that either.

um.........

perception is everything.

I think if you are using a belt to beat your child then you are abusing your child. Sorry, that is my view.

no where in my posts did I say I beat my child. I used a belt on him. No wonder everyone dog piles you......you have a reading problem.

If only it were so simple.

I'm shocked that she didn't "learn" what she was supposed to from that beating.

That is why I said I THINK (indicating opinion) if you are using a belt to beat your child you are a child abuser

A belt is a weapon. If you are hitting your kid more than once means you are beating them. Hence you are beating your child. Just my view after many years of therapy and being raised by parents who did this.

Sounds like you could have used less therapy and more beatings.
