In no way, am I justifying any of this. However, this doesn't show the build up to the event. At the end, the mother says, "Now, I will leave you alone." That hints to a massive amount of disrespect leading up to this.
It wasn't just about the downloaded music. That, in and of itself, probably wouldn't have led to this. It was a deeper issue with disrespect and disobedience.
I have no issue with spanking children. Personally, I don't use a belt. I use my hand. Even the belt wasn't what bothered me the most about this video. It is how this guy talked to his daughter.
I used to think I had an anger problem. Heck, I did have an anger problem. I feel horrible about the way that I treated my oldest daughter at times. And, I never, NEVER, even came close to this. The worst thing that I can think of was pushing my daughter up against a wall for being disrespectful to her mother. And, I still feel awful about that.
This was brutally painful.
