This is perhaps one of the most disturbing stories we have ever had to carry and for that reason and because of the potential criminality of the allegations it is hard to assess what to say. While researching the article to try and confirm some of the facts the statement above was posted online. With that in mind we have chosen to simply link you to the article that led to this response. However we would like to make clear that it contains a violent and disturbing YouTube video.

Beyond that, it will be up to the judicial system to figure out what happened here.

Does Texas Judge William Adams Deserve Internet Vigilantism for Allegedly Beating His Daughter?

... if the video is an accurate portrayal of what happened, then the disgust expressed around the Web is certainly valid.
