Other than the story itself and our views on it (which is very clear to most people), I think there's also some morbid fascination we all have and feel guilty about, when we share such stories. One can make all the excuses/reasons in the world about why it is important to share these things, but I've decided not to post this to my FB page. It is part of our modern malaise to watch horrible things happen to other people, somehow unconsciously happy it is not us in those pictures, and in a way it is very self-destructive to our daily mood and general lives.

Erm, no.

I only posted the link, within which a couple of links add more to the story, because it defied comment, and not because "I'm glad it is not me".

It is sustained violence against a disabled 16 year old girl and goes well beyond a parent "losing it" or controlled discipline.............

It is the sharing of stories like these that brings vile men like him to rights.

In a discussion forum like this there's no harm in drawing attention to it. Wouldn't even consider posting it on somewhere like FB though.

I couldn't watch more than 2 seconds of it btw.

2 questions (not having watched out of choice / taste) -

1. Why on earth would you film this?
2. If you accidentally filmed it, how on earth could you be so stupid so as to leave the film/file somewhere where it even had the remotest chance of being made public. This surely isn't like a 'celebrity sex tape' which "accidentally" gets leaked onto the internet.

Also, I rarely bother opening links on threads that have no description as to what they are etc.

As it was the daughters decision to post this herself it is good that many people get to see it (you don't need to watch it all) and I hope she is now somewhere safe away from her dad. I am not a massive fan of modern techology exposing peoples private lives unless they decide to or it's for the greater good.

You can only use that argument if it was pitch black.As it is everyone can see what happened.
The following bolded quotes makes you wonder at the slow reaction.
...“Judge Adams remains on the bench” and has agreed to let a visiting judge hear any cases involving children for at least the next week, said Bianchi, who prosecutes misdemeanor cases. “When the police conduct their investigation, and if they bring anything, we'll review it, and consider the statutes of limitations.”
'David Finkelhor, director of the Crimes against Children Research Center at the University of New Hampshire, said corporal punishment by parents is legal in all 50 states, and Texas is a state where it is still prevalent.'
Right from wrong is a good thing to teach but there are correct ways to do this and bullying the defenseless isn't one of them.

Thanks for posting this. Everyone should watch this who thinks caning should be brought back in schools and that what parents do in the privacy of their own homes is always right. Sadly, no matter how much information and academic research you show people that physical violence against children does not make them better people (quite the reverse) those with entrenched beliefs don't get it. perhaps watching clips like this will change their minds.
