Wait...What?

This video is disturbing to say the least . I wish it were a gross you out but make you laugh video. It's not. It may gross you out, and it should, but there's certainly no laughing. I'm also in tears. I don't care that the video is years old. I don't care what the motivations are for releasing this video. I don't care what the circumstances are. The fact is very clear. This man beat this child. His beat her with his belt. You can't call it spanking. He even says in the video that he will beat her. The mother? No better. Having lost someone so close to me from child abuse, I don't care what any of the alleged adults in that video have to say. They should........I don't know. It hurts to watch this and I sincerely hope that everyone gets help in this situation. I wish I could be more eloquent about this but I'm just hearbroken, disappointed in the "adults" and too saddened to form anything better than what ya got.

MADISON, Wis. — Authorities say a 67-year-old rural Wisconsin man enraged over Bristol Palin's  Dancing with the Stars  routine blasted his television with a shotgun, leading to an overnight standoff with a  SWAT team. A Dane County Sheriff's detective says in court documents that Steven Cowan, of the town of Vermont, felt Palin was not a good dancer and was only on the show because of her famous mother.
