Allegedly, the father asked for her to return the Benz she was driving back to him.

My statement still holds.
Asking for a car back isn't cutting off someone financially.

al981,
For one, the kid being hit in that video is told WHY. He is told why he is receiving punishment before it occurs and what the punishment will be. He knows the incorrect behavior he did that his "guardian" didn't like and knows the consequences. He receives several "licks" for it and then the guardian stops.
The difference in those two video's is NIGHT AND DAY.
1) The boy is never struck in the face or the back of the head.
2) The boy is told what his punishment is for and receives 9 licks for it.
3) The guardian stops after punishment is administered.
For the girls this is why it's abuse
1) She was struck in the face at 1:57 in the video as I stated before.
2) She was struck in the back of the head at least once at 3:22.
3) The father came BACK to "get his licks in" after punishment had been already administered at 3:12
4) The girl received 30+ lashings combined from the parents
There is a clear difference and you a worthless piece of trash to think otherwise. STFU and GTFO.
Explain to me one thing and I'll shut up. Why on earth did all this coincide with the father cutting the 22 year victim off financially? Is it just random chance? Open your eyes.
I love the way people are so willing to draw adverse conclusions about this young woman's motivations based on little or no evidence, and exculpate her father despite unimpeachable evidence of child abuse. I don't know if this comes from a dislike of women, an excessive deference to parents, or an actual fondness for abusing children. In any case, you guys are amazing (and not in a good way) . . .

And you know a story behind a situation/disagreement/argument that lead him to 'cut her off' financially, or is this another @ss-grab taken from his comment it was about "returning a car"?
And with this probable @ss-grab of facts, your argument is that he shouldn't be accountable for years of abuse, or he should be but on his terms?
Very few are saying her father is in the right. I'm just saying the daughter had more motive in releasing the tape than pushing her father to "get help".
However, if(and its a big if as we don't know the whole story) she used the threat of releasing the tape as leverage to try and prevent the father from taking her Benz back and/or cut her off financially, she indeed committed a felony.
The idea that there is some kind of financial motive is sheer speculation and I consider it a rather nonsensical theory - how does she stand to profit from taking an action which will likely lead to him losing a good, lucrative job and being shamed in the community?
The worst thing I can see as an explanation for this is that she hates him and wanted to ruin his life by releasing this video. Even if that's true, all she did was release an unedited video of his ACTUAL behavior, not make any false allegations about him. I can't see anything wrong with it, legally or morally. It will probably make it harder and perhaps impossible for them to restore a healthy relationship, but it's her choice and I can't fault her under the circumstances.
a. You're not an attorney licensed in Texas (are you?), and have no background on which you can draw legal conclusions about Texas criminal statutes and their application.
b. More importantly, there IS no evidence on which to base such a conclusion. All there is is conjecture. There is nothing in any reporting on this case to suggest that the victim extorted anything from her father. He claimed in a brief interview that "she's mad because I've ordered her to bring the car back." Even he is not claiming she threatened to release the tape unless she was permitted to keep the car. Even if we indulge his self-serving claim as true, her taking a legal action for what might be seen as a trivial reason does not constitute extortion.

Why didn't she release the video before now? Why didn't she send it to the authorities instead of posting it to Youtube? Why did she do this after getting her car taken away? Why would she care about him losing a good, lucrative job and shamed? She stands to profit by embarrassing the shit out of her father for taking her car away. I don't think she had any idea how big this would get when she released the video.
Did you read anything I've written? He should be accountable for his actions, and he should also be held to a higher level because of his position. I'm not debating that at all.
I'm only saying, as I've said ten times in this thread, that it is my opinion that the daughter is full of shit about why she uploaded the video for the world to see.
No way of knowing why she didn't release the tape sooner. I would expect it was in large part out of fear, and in part due to misguided loyalty to an abusive parent.
Don't know why she put this on Youtube rather than sending it to the authorities - probably out of anger, with full knowledge it would be more harmful to him to do it the way she did.
Why do it after having her car taken away? We don't even know if that is true. All we know is her father said it. She said she released it after her father subjected her to a barrage of abusive language. Both might be true. Certainly anger must have played a role as well.
Why would she care about him losing his job? Again, probably anger. It certainly doesn't financially benefit her to see him lose income. I see it as a way of giving him a well-deserved ostracizing.
You say, without explaining why, that "he stands to profit by embarrassing the shit out of her father for taking her car away." How does she "profit" from this? She will certainly get well-deserved sympathy and feel the satisfaction of seeing him shamed, but those are direct by-products of his shameful behavior and her victimization. Both seem like fair consequences. I still don't see that as "profit" to her. If anything she probably loses out financially in that her father will likely cease providing her with any kind of financial support - many 23-year-olds receive such support in one way or another.
