Beating the kids
Judge William Adams admitted he beat his 16-year-old daughter with a belt as seen on a publicized video. The reason for the beating was unknown and how often the girl was beaten was not revealed. The girl said she planted the video camera because she knew she was going to be beaten. This is a problem because her actions may be more acting than real distress.
In any event, the girl is 16 and knows her parents have house rules that she must follow. If she finds she is at continual odds with her parents, she should consider an alternative living arrangement. The father and the daughter are fighting for control of the house. She knows her father is explosive about some issues. Wonder what she did???
Anyway, beating older kids does nothing to help the situation. The daughter's personality is set and the family needs counseling. If the daughter's problems are significant, a professional therapist can help. Planting cameras can erode trust and make a resolution more difficult.
Sherrie on "The View" says she hits her son, Jeffery. Now, Sherrie has often said her son is "retarded" and has control problems. I do not believe in hitting disabled children.
