Hillary Adams Father Judge William Adams Could Face Discipline

Texas Judge William Adams, who is shown brutally beating his daughter Hillary in a YouTube video that has gone viral says he does not think his conduct will cause him to be disciplined. This article by a Houston, Texas lawyer outlines how the Judge could indeed face a proverbial firing squad.

Everyone has a different parenting style. My fathers approach was different from my mother’s. Mine is different from both. I did not ever have to spank or strike my children. My method was to hold their arm or hand, look them in the eye and tell them to look at me and I spoke to them about what they did and why it was not correct. At times I had to appear a bit harsh, but beating a kid? Not in my house. And it worked. Of course grounding or restrictions were also an option.

This judge went way over the top in what he did to his daughter. This same judge has presided over family law cases involving children. That in itself is a scary thought when imagining an abused child could have been sent back to a parent who like Judge Adams thinks nothing of beating a child and dropping the “F” bomb for over seven minutes for a minor infraction.

From CBSnews.com;

“In my mind, I haven’t done anything wrong other than discipline my child after she was caught stealing,” Adams said. “And I did lose my temper, but I’ve since apologized.”

When told of her father’s comments, Hillary Adams said, “It’s a shining perfect example of his personality and he believes he can do no wrong. … He will cover up rather than admit to what he did and try to come clean, which is what I really want him to do.”
