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.

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.
