Josh Hamilton cannot stop fucking his life up.

Pro Tip: It’s never OK to spank your kids, or scare your kids with violence.  They don’t learn from being scared or hurt.  EVER.  If you have to hit your kids, that means you don’t have the ability to communicate or parent.  Just like former Texas Rangers megastar, Josh Hamilton.

His 14-year-old daughter told her mother, Hamilton’s ex-wife, that her father struck her after he became enraged by a comment from her.

According to an affidavit by a Keller Police Department detective, Hamilton’s daughter told police that he went on a rampage Sept. 30. She says she made a comment to Hamilton that upset him, so he threw a full water bottle overhand at her, hitting her in the chest, then cursed and shouted at her.

He pulled away the chair on which she rested her feet and threw it, breaking the chair, she told detectives. It didn’t hit her, but he then grabbed her by the shoulders and lifted her from the chair on which she sat. She fell to the floor, and he lifted her up, threw her over his shoulder and carried her to her bedroom.

The girl said at this point she was telling Hamilton, “I’m sorry.” Upon reaching her bedroom door, he tossed the teen onto her bed, pressed her face onto the mattress and began hitting her legs with an open hand and closed fist.

She said that after he finished striking her, he told her, “I hope you go in front of the f—ing judge and tell him what a terrible dad I am so I don’t have to see you anymore and you don’t have to come to my house again.”

As he left the room, Hamilton’s daughter said he told her to gather her things for school. When she replied that she had already put them in the car, he responded, “Well, aren’t you just the perfect child.”

 

If this is true, Josh Hamilton isn’t just a sad case of a broken man with lifelong mental illness and addiction issues anymore.  He’s a legitimate child abuser who shouldn’t be allowed around kids anymore.

In October 2019, he was charged with injuring a child (his eldest daughter) after an argument at his home in Texas.

I spanked my eldest son when he was young.  Before I understood why hurting your kids wasn’t a lesson and scaring them wasn’t parenting tactic.  I’ve NEVER achieved any parenting success by yelling, scaring or hurting my kids and you think Josh should have figured that out after the first arrest.
