Aransas County Court-At-Law Judge William Adams took a belt to his own teenage daughter as punishment for using the internet to acquire music and games that were unavailable for legal purchase at the time. She has had ataxic cerebral palsy from birth that led her to a passion for technology, which was strictly forbidden by her father's backwards views.
The judge's wife was emotionally abused herself and was severely manipulated into assisting the beating and should not be blamed for any content in this video. The judge's wife has since left the marriage due to the abuse, which continues to this day, and has sincerely apologized and repented for her part and for allowing such a thing, long before this video was even revealed to exist.
Judge William Adams is not fit to be anywhere near the law system if he can't even exercise fit judgement as a parent himself. Do not allow this man to ever be re-elected again. His "judgement" is a giant farce.
Signed, Hillary Adams, his daughter.
"It's definitely me. :) I was holding onto the video until the right time, and after a barrage of harassment from my father over the phone, I snapped and finally uploaded it. Now I'm sorry I didn't do it sooner."

Some Net Comments:
"Now I am quite doubtful that you will read this, but anyway: watching the video was tough, real tough. I felt as though I wanted to reach into the video and just put an end to the madness somehow. Your screams of pain and agony are sounds that all parents should dread to hear, and want to do everything in their power to stop or alleviate. Me and my wife are about to adopt a small child and the thought of anyone doing this to her... I can't stand to think about it. What you are doing is immensely strong and takes lots and lots of power. I am absolutely certain that you are an awesome person and will be a superb parent one day, should you choose so. The best of luck on the weeks ahead that may turn your world up-side-down. Stay strong!"
"If your Dad knows where you are, PLEASE get someplace else. When this is plastered all over the news, it is going to be the end of his life as he knows it and there's just no way to tell how he will react.
Stay with friends or, if there are no other options, go to a battered women's shelter. As soon as you are able (as in first thing tomorrow morning), petition for a restraining order. Whatever you do, for the next few days, make sure you're not alone. You'll need the emotional support just as much as the security of having others around.
FWIW, I'm sorry you had to go through this. Just when I think I've been on the Internet forever and nothing can shock me, seeing this make me literally shake with rage. I don't have kids (yet) but I couldn't even begin to imagine treating them this way."
"In the video your mother tells you to sleep in Allyson's room. Please tell me that Allyson is not your younger sister and still living with him."
"Seriously, well done. You showed immense courage uploading this."
"Way to go! You are very brave. Let him have all the pain he forced you to endure and all the shame that comes along with it."
"God bless you, sweet girl. ): I am so sorry.. I am so sorry. I'm still crying from that video.."
"Good for you girl. I wish you uploaded it years ago (but of course, only you can make that choice and know the right time). I am glad you are an adult now and life without him will (presumably) be easier to cope with than it would have been as a 16 year old. Even if you never see him again, you will never experience his abuse again. It's amazing how, even over the phone, the abuse continues. He sounds like a very angry man and I hope that this ends up helping him, you and your entire fam. God bless you..."
"I have never wanted to hug someone so much in my life. What a brave person you are for filming what you knew was coming, and for releasing it now. The world needs more people willing to stand up against this kind of evil."
"Just so you know, your dad is going to be looking for you right now. He is aware of this video by now.
Get somewhere safe."
"Speaking as somebody who's suffered similar abuse at the hands of a violent father, and I honestly echo ItAllSeemedHarmless' sentiments towards my own father."
