I am so glad that this has received mainstream media attention, hopefully that guy gets what's coming to him. I'm not one to wish harm on people, but if he were to get an um *cough* "beating" of his own in prison, I certainly wouldn't cry for him. Low-life piece of s***, the Mom and the Dad. I also love how in one article the Mom says that the "ongoing" abuse of her daughter will stop now, I wonder if that has to do with the video going viral? Hopefully this is one of those videos that gets 50 million views, and everybody he works with sees it, that'd be just great.

I got it much worse than the girl did in the video, and I think my parents did a fine job raising me. They used belts too, btw. Honestly not seeing what the big deal is nor where Dr. Drew's outrage stems from. He's making an assumption that the (obviously bitter) daughter is honest and not just out to get her famous, politically-relevant father. I think she's a calculated, cold bitch who knew exactly what she was doing by hiding a webcam and play-acting for the camera when she got spanked. The opinion is a valid as Dr. Drew's, quite frankly, since nobody knows the real story at all. A vengeful hidden camera public post made to ruin your dad's career seems like a much more unforgivable familial offense to me than legal discipline of a person's child with a belt, at the end of the day. Not sure if serious. And I'm not even going to bother finding a pic to illustrate that. He deserves EVERYTHING that comes to him. Don't want to speak ill of your parents, but... belts? Really? I felt like I was watching a horror movie, and an upsetting one at that.

I wonder if they'll charge the Dad for abuse and also charge the daughter for illegal downloading

That beating was legal? Really?

I don't believe in corporal punishment at all, but even then I recognize there's a line between some spanking and outright child abuse. This is definitely a case of the latter.

I don't know about any of you, but my asswhoopins use to last the whole day. They would start and stop on a whim. I never got grounded though, rather take a ass kicking for a day than not be able to play my games.

This man is an asshole. I wish this girl had come out with this sooner because, since she had waited, I doubt any real legal repercussions would be taken. At the VERY least, this man also needs to be whipped with a belt repeatedly. If I were in law, I'd invoke cruel and unusual punishment in cases like these. This makes me sick.

Don't take this as downplaying the situation or video at all.When stuff like this is considered graphic and shocking I wonder what the beatings I and others took as a child would be considered. Surely I'm not the only one here that was beaten with whatever their parents could find, I would've prayed for a belt. My mother beat me with her fists, extension chords and wiffle ball bats amongst others when I was younger than the girl in the video. This

I love how threads on this sort of thing always seem to turn into macho posturing "In my day I was beaten into a coma on a weekly basis, but I turned out just fine. Don't see what the problem is."
It's not just here.

It's not just here. A lot of people have taken worse than this, and have turned out just fine. OF course their are better ways to deal with it than recording it. Should you have to deal with it? Probably not, but it happens.

Ok, not to throw water on the fiery mob here, but HOW long ago was this vid? Is it just me that find this fishy that she comes out with this NOW of all times? And she claim's she wants him to get help, how? By posting this on You Tube 1st?
Just seems a bit sketchy to me...

It's not just here. Totally agreed. So your parents threw you out a window and ran you over with a monster truck, good for you. That doesn't make what this guy did acceptable, sorry.

A lot of people have taken worse than this Exactly. And calling it macho posturing? Really? We're not trying to downplay what happens in the video or come off like grizzled vets at all. The video while awful is rather tame compared to what some of us have gone through in our youth. I agree. I used to get beat with extension cords and leather belts. Great Gramps even cracked me with a bull whip once. Then again I am a boy, and for a man to hit a woman like that...I dunno. I still think this is a bit late coming out. "I just want him to get help." BS

I read that supposedly he has a re-election coming up, and the daughter wants to prevent him being a judge again. How true that statement is IDK, but there you go.

Are we really going to turn this into a victim blaming/Oppression Olympics here? We are only taking about this case and all this talk about "Well I/other people got it worse and turned out fine" is so beyond missing the point I don't even have words for it. This Judge is beating his daughter over something so relatively trivial in the long run as an excuse to practice his sadism. He deserves to have the book thrown at him.

The video while awful is rather tame compared to what some of us have gone through in our youth. But, at the risk of sounding like an ass, what does it matter what your parents did to you? So because you may have endured a beating worse than the one in the video, that makes the one in the video okay? Should she man up because some guys got it worse? It is macho posturing, "Yeah that bitch got torn up pretty good, but I got it worse!" is the attitude being displayed in this thread, what happened to you is irrelevant - if you're proud of your beatings get a damn tattoo, it's not relevant to the thread.

No one is saying that what the man did was wrong. What he did was wrong period, but this is a teenager who waited 7 years to report a recorded instance, and according to the father is a thief? This just looks really really odd. The mother waited this long to release her sob story, whats gonna stop him from abusing her now. This is all just really weird. She got caught stealing, and got a whoopin, I'm sorry but I'm going to need more from this story before I hang the man.

This isn't a he said/she said situation. Abuse victims don't automatically report it for various reasons (financial inability/unable to escape household for lack of transportation resources/fear for physical safety/being shamed into staying/etc.) Just because she didn't report it right away is not an excuse to victim blame (and yes, this is victim blaming, even it's not outright said. The "she should've reported it right away" mentality is blaming her for something she didn't have control over at the time.)

Man the amount of victim blaming going on in this thread is absolutely pathetic.
And the "stealing" she did was downloading music illegally from the internet. If that's worth getting the s*** beaten out of you, then I'd guess a good amount of us would be in for an ass whooping.
