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.

I wish I could beat this man to death

I watched an interview with this lady and her mother this morning. She sure doesn't act or appear to be suffering any severe malady.

The mother was trying to make it about her, made several insinuations about the man, but to me they both came off as having ulterior motive.

the dad is probably an asshole, but he insinuated she had been stealing and there was more to the reason he whipped her.

I haven't watched the entire video, but the part I did see wasn't as horrifying as I expected based on comments. Whippings are supposed to hurt. They're supposed to hurt so you learn to not do what you've done wrong to need the whacks.

Its a good thing they didn't have cell phone video's when I was a kid.
I got it a helluva lot worse then that.

The dad said yesterday that this incident happened years ago. And it was mentioned somewhere that the mom finally left the abusive relationship months ago. Is the mom bringing this out now as an opening barrage in a divorce battle?

And yes, the guy clearly deserves whatever public humiliation and legal repercussions come his way. I'm just saying it's possible that the mom is just as despicable if she's known about this video and has released it on YouTube just to get a leg up in a divorce battle (instead of going to the police or CPS if she was so concerned about the abuse).

I don't know what you saw, but you need to watch the whole thing. I don't really care what the girl supposedly stole, but you just don't beat on and talk to your kid like he did. The fact that she had some other issues only makes it worse.

I've spanked my kids before - I think there's a time and place, but you don't get crazy and cross that line. This guy freaking whipped her in a manner that cannot be justified in my opinion.

Because she is slow he had to beat her harder.

Any grown man that has to use anything other than an open hand to spank a child is a complete pussy.

This guy is a piece of shit. He's not even a man. He's a little boy wearing man pants.

Not always. I wound up in the principals office at school on more than one occasion and had a close and personal meeting with the paddle. Usually 1-3 swats depending on whatever stupid crap I pulled on that given day. Personally I don't have a problem with this type of spanking as long as its not excessive. But what this guy gave his daughter IMO constitutes a beating, not simple punishment or a spanking.

Pychologists actually encourage parents who believe in corporal punishment to use something other than their hand. Kids see the hand as the parent while if we use something sensible, they'll dissociate the impliment. We use a wooden spoon around these parts. But I don't beat my kids with it. Couple swats usually does the trick.

I think the main thing is to show affection after you beat them. When I got spanked as a child, my parents would immediately feel bad and try to explain how they still love me and showed me affection. Of course by that time, I would have cried all the demons out and felt guilty for driving my parents to beating me. Everyone was better off after it. Good times.
