Anderson Cooper Interviews Daughter Of Texas Judge Caught Beating Her On Video

Video
» 121 comments

On Thursday evening, CNN’s Anderson Cooper sat down with Hillary Adams, the daughter of the Texas family court judge shown beating with a belt her in a now widely-circulated video .

Hillary explained that her father’s methods of castigating her had devolved from merely “corporal punishment” to full-blown physical abuse over the years and that, the night of the recorded beating — sensing that her father was growing angry and violent — she had set up a camera in advance to capture evidence of one of her father’s outbursts, knowing only that she wanted to have the footage on hand at some point.

Judge Adams has spoken out about the tape, saying that the beating was “not as bad as it looks” in the footage — a statement that, for Hillary, indicates that her father is in deep denial about the abuse.

A teen at the time of the recording, Hillary held on to the tape for seven years, deciding to release now because she had, she says, “finally snapped” and wanted to confront her father about his denial in the hope that the two would be able to reconcile.

Cooper also showed Hillary a statement released by her father in which he accuses her of releasing the video as revenge for having cutting her off financially and for telling her to stop “partying.” Hillary felt his statement was typical of the way he would twist stories to keep up appearances. What’s more, she said, her father would often use the gifts he gave her (including a Mercedes Benz) as a means of lording his power over her.

Cooper continued reading the statement, which included an accusation that Hillary is exploiting her cerebral palsy to gain sympathy with the media. “Wow,” she responded. “That’s incredible. Did you know that he’s always denied that I even had a problem? This is the first time he’s ever written that I had something.”

    Sad, he gives his daughter a Mercedes after beating the Sh%t out of her and expects her to be obliged.  She is obviously involved in the cycle of violence but this ‘man’ is a sad coward that is so incompetent he has to beat teen girls.  What a sad, dumb hopeless sort of person he is and was.

    I wonder if Hillary’s Mother is still living with her Father. I thought the Mom was just as bad as the Dad for allowing and participating in the beating and the punishment. It appears that she was emotionally abused as well. I think Hillary is a bright young lady and I don’t think a young girl deserves to be beaten like that for any reason whatsoever. Judge Adams should not be allowed to keep being any kind of Judge. He is truly in denial and he needs to be taught a lesson, and judged by someone legally. The video makes me sick to watch.

    Regardless if the daughter Hillary is doing this because she is upset with her father for taking away a Mercedes and whatever else.. What is in the video is undeniable abuse. That kind of punishment is just completely outrageous. It was a full on beating.. with some verbal abuse thrown in for good measure too!   I also think the mother is getting a pass by claiming she too was a victim. I mean I guess it’s nice that the daughter has forgiven her and has formed a good relationship there but if you look outside of the situation objectively….you can see that the mother was quite guilty too.

    Just as I figured, Judge Walker is a Republican. No of the many stories report this, but I found it on the Crooks & Liars website. It sums up what Republicans think of the poor, women, gays, blacks, Latinos, and other minorities. It explains their policies favoring rich, white men. I am a member of one of these minorities and we outnumber the paranoid Republican fringe represented by this child-abusing Republican.

    Social services horror stories usually do not include a belt and both parents present. The man is a family law judge and was a supervisory judge in the local juvenile justice system. I’d be betting that while unpleasant, his actions were within the bounds Texas law. I still can’t get over the comment that a medical professional made about the girl having a disability that caused her to download music illegally from the internet. 

    I never received anything nearing that as a kid, but I am aware of other people in the neighborhood who did.

    Although she didn’t answer the question with a simple yes or no…. she did concede the point that she released the video shortly after she was cut off financially and her Benz was taken away. I think this guy (and his wife) should pay a price for being abusive parents. But I am now a little uncomfortable supporting this woman (and DO NOT support her mom) if her motivation was retaliation for lack of financial support at the age of 23. She should have come forward sooner before the statute of limitations was over and before it looked like retaliation. Maybe being raised so poorly made her a manipulative person so that might be a mitigating factor…. but she is 23 and needs to stand on her own 2 feet. This comes off like there are NO good people involved in the story.

    As a formerly emotionally abused parent, who allowed abuse to happen to our daughter, I feel a need to speak out.  You all have NO idea how hard these situations are.  My ex told me so many times that it was my fault, that I started to believe him.  I loved him.  He loved me.  And he was sick.  He needeed to see how his response to his anger is his responsibility, and how he had power over it.  He still doesn’t see that part.  My daughter has forgiven both of us now (I’ll never forgive him!).  The point is, don’t judge.  It’s a messy and scary situation, and it’s ALWAYS more complicated than it looks from the outside.  These people need help, not to be judged and ridiculed.  Luckily, there is some very effective thearpy available out there for people like this.  At least he wasn’t on the Supreme Court of Texas.  Here in Wisconsin, we have our very own abuser as a claim to “fame”!  So sad.

    I am more than positive that Hillary wants nothing more than help for her and her family. But in order for help to be granted, all must want it. And know that they need it.

    Also, who cares if she “chose” to live with him. Children who love their parents want to make things right. And it seems like he didn’t think anything was wrong. She left, moved to San Antonio, and started a new life. Her father began to harass her, and she had enough of it. There has to be a line drawn and he crossed it a long time ago! She’s not black mailing anyone. She’s just moving forward in her life, and the best way to move forward (in an abusive relationship) is to be honest with yourself and the abuser. If her father didn’t want to settle their past, then she will do it for them. I think that is the true motive. And when the fifteen minutes are over, we will forget about it. The timing, yes, may be odd, but there is more to it than meets the eye.

    Spoiled child she is. If she didn’t want him to have power, how about refusing the Mercedes he gave her?

    She takes the spoils…. then turns her father in.

    She was a 16 year old girl not following the rules…. and while the video is disturbing to watch, belt-whipping is absolutely a parent’s right and very standard in many households across time. To some, it’s extreme; to others, it’s standard. It’s not for anyone else to tell a parent how to discipline their kids, unless they are permanently harming them or exercising corporal punishment for no reason at all. He is clear as to what she did wrong, and while he sounds like an asshole, there’s nothing illegal about that.

    More American kids need some harsh discipline in their life…. maybe then they wouldn’t grow up to become self-entitled Occupy Wallstreet losers!

  • Justsaying

    2 sides to every story…. That’s all I am going to say…

    It’s all about him cutting off the money supply. She did this for revenge.. Yes, he is so wrong to have hit her so many times and they way he did it along with the mother.. Both are guilty of abuse considering, she had set up a recorder to record what was going to happen.. She knew it was coming. But to blackmail her dad. Judge or not, who cares, he loses his job and the ability to pay child support for his other child. What did she think she would get out of this.. She should have went to the hospital the next day, they would have taken care of both parents for the abuse… I think this is all wrong and the press should have never been involved.. All of this is so upsetting.. I am a victim of abuse but would never embarress my family like this… Its wrong..  

  • http://twitter.com/MerryMarjie MerryMarjie

    Ummm, I think maybe you should walk in her shoes before you make decisions about her personal choices.  This was not the first and only beating she took, it was just one of a pattern of abuse suffered at the hands of her parents, and it was extreme.  Belt-whipping was never standard in MY house and I came from a family of 9 kids — you’d think one of us would deserve one, but my parents used reason and logic in our punishment, not debasing, irrational violence.

  • Darah

    There are much more intelligent ways of “disciplining” children; especially teenagers.  Beating in this manner is unacceptable and most certainly child abuse.  Using objects to hit is not even legal in many places.  Only idiot rednecks believe that this type of primitive behavior toward another person is acceptable.  We aren’t wild monkeys so we shouldn’t behave like them.  I hope that for the sake of humanity this man is FIRED.

  • Jacobjakeu

    (A)

    Many people don’t believe in belt-whipping for discipline, but that’s a parent’s decision to make. It is absolutely a standard form of corporal punishment, and while I personally think it should be used for certain extreme situations only and on proper parts of the body, it’s not for any other person to tell a parent that they can or cannot exercise this right as a matter of their discipline.

    Too many American kids, however, are growing up to become self-entitled, lazy, mediocre if not poor members of society. There is a reason that Asian kids are growing up to be far more successful, disciplined, and productive… and the kind of discipline they receive at home is part of that reason.

    (B)

    The other problem with this girl is that she is now an ADULT…. and if she really thinks what happened to her was wrong, that her dad was making power plays even by giving her a Mercedes, SHE SHOULD RETURN THE MERCEDES.

    You can’t have it both ways: Where the “power play” benefits you, you play along, but where you think it doesn’t, you then put it out there for the public to pile on your dad.

    (C)

    And her dad was right: This BS about using her disability to gain sympathy is absolutely true. She’s very articulate in this clip, without any apparent disability. Perhaps she did have one… and it’s to her parents’ credit especially that she’s so productive and able today. It’s a spoiled child who claims the disability when putting out this video clip in an obvious ploy to lessen her own irresponsibility as a 16-year-old child when she should be thanking her parents for getting her on the obviously right track.

    Beating your own child.  What could ever go wrong?

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_WHNVUS36FRPEFKRC3NKDBYYIUE Mike L

    Well I understand what you are saying but at the same time there are many women who are emotionally and or physically abused by their spouses who are somehow able to take responsibility and are able to protect their own children. I realize every single case has to be judged differently. And yes you do sometimes have to make judgements depending on that individual case.  I have no doubt that someone like Nancy Garrido (Jaycee Dugard case) was abused throughout her life and was emotionally abused by Phillip Garrido  but there is a point where some kind of responsibility has to be acknowledged despite horrendous abuse. I am glad your situation turned out well though.

  • Fatcat57

    I was at the taping of Anderson Cooper on Thursday. Hillary said she is currently living with her boyfriend and does not rely on her father for support. He recently took away her Mercedes and stopped paying for her cell phone. Her parents are going through a custody battle over her sister (a minor). She said part of the reason for releasing the video now is to help her mother in the custody battle. I don’t know how it would help when her mother is seen beating her in the video along with her father. Why did she wait all these years to release this video?? The timing seems strange if it was not in retaliation to her father for the car and phone. She obviously had no concerns for her younger sister, who has been living with the father. What are the odds that he beat Hillary and not the sister?  Hillary certainly had some responsibility and blame then for not releasing that video seven years ago. How much abuse has the sister endured during that time? I think there is alot more to this story.

    The video is absoulutly OUTRAGIOUS!!!  Anyone who chooses to disagree id advise to get some help….I agree in punishment but not to were it becomes physical, tempers start to flare and things start spiraling out of hand….which is what happened in this video…the anger and rage built up and the father got completely out of line when it came to the punishment….But, one thing i dont understand is really the only reason she let this video be public was because her father was taking her car away….then again that might have been a result of her feeling like she basically had no control over the abuse but what she did have control over letting everyone see how sick her father was when abuse was occuring….u know….maybe this family has some dominant issues.My heart does go out to her….this sorta relates to how my parents were….but it was my mother not my father…..

    I agree. I think she is blowing this up, trying to get attention & her mom did the exact same thing. I was beaten with belts, switches, fists, had my hair pulled & a few other things. This girl is just spoiled & doesn’t know what abuse is. She needs to shut up & grow up! She is trying to ruin this man’s life when he was trying to teach her right from wrong.That is disgusting!

    You can find out about others this judge has harmed and even destroyed at http://thepatriotdad.wordpress.com. 

    You can see a criminal complaint filed months ago against the judge with the Texas Rangers.    You can read the affidavit by the judge’s ex wife detailing the Judge’s violence, bigotry, abuse of office, and drug addictions on this blog.

    There are first hand experiences and observations.   There is a transcript of a court hearing where Judge Adams is saying that it is irrelevent that one of the parents insists on having only one person babysit a 7 year old child is homicidal, hallucinatory, sometimes psychotic and had repeatedly been hospitalized for the safety of the general public.

    Read a portion of a transcript where the judge says that a child’s detailed statement of another judge helping Adams to attempt to set the mother and her attorney up on child sex charges, along with the waiters who witnessed the meeting and attempts to tamper with a witness was ‘No Evidence’.  

    Read about South Texas’ free for all justice system where flipping a coin would provide more effective justice than what is dished out in Texas.

    What you find on the above blog pages is more fightening than any horror writer can imagine, because this is for real.
