after I watched the vid, it was not beating, it was classic ass spanking.
beating is like hitting allover violently, using punches kick, bats, the point is to injure the victim,
while spanking is either done with palm of the hand, belt, paddle, or rattan stick, the point is to make it a lesson.
in my days, my parents spanked me for having bad grades at school, and it made me improve.
this judge was not evil or drunk he is just a man coming from different generation.
my opinion as somebody from different culture and an older generation

children used to obey their parents, since little kids- teenagers don't really understand the whole reality as adults do, sometime it is needed to keep them in line for their own good, and to make them understand the concept of punishment and obedience before they enter the real world, real crime, real law and real law enforcement of adult world.
look how kids nowadays always talk back, and even using foul language to answer their parents.
and nowadays the parents have to understand them, and understand their emotion, well the world out there won't give shit about their emotion, so if they don't learn how to behave from their parents, later they will have to learn it the hard way from the world.
