Witnessed Spankings

Getting her bottom paddled in front of the neighbor

There are moments that call for the immediate application of corporal punishment.  When those moments arrive it does not really matter who is present to witness it.  The young lady to the left is a perfect example.  The neighbor was over for a cup of coffee and all was well until this young lady came home very late, after repeated warnings.  He decided that regardless of their being guests in the house that she needed a hard paddling and she needed it at that very moment.  She was sent for the paddle and he taught her a lesson that she will remember for a very long time.

Bare butt strapping in front of friend

The same thing happened to the poor young lady in the picture to the right.  It not matter to dad that her best friend was present.  When she is bad she is punished and just because there is someone else in the room does not deter him from baring her bottom and taking off his belt.  He gives it to her long and hard and her friend has to watch her endure every single stroke to her butt.

In this case this young lady not only gets in trouble with her friend, but the friend is waiting to be spanked as well.  She decides that letting her friend’s dad strap her is the better option than him calling her house.  She knows that for this offense her own father would ground her for quite some time, so she thinks she would prefer to a spanking.  She had not considered the fact that the spanking would be administered in a severe manner and that he would be using a belt.  The punishment left her in tears with a sore bottom that left her sitting gingerly for days.

Bent over waiting for the belt

In the real world, when investigating how corporal punishment really takes place in the home, one of the most common spanking implements used is the belt.  Every household has many and there is typically always a large leather one sitting around somewhere.  In the South, I would guess that the belt is the implement of choice for spanking.

Her whuppin' begins

In the Southern states every teen knows what “getting a whuppin” means. It always implies daddy’s western style belt, bent over, and one hell of a spanking that cannot end soon enough.

Baring her bottom for a hard strapping.

Some older teens were simply strapped over their clothes, the unlucky ones had to drop their pants and panties to feel the full sting of the belt. Nothing teaches a lesson as well as full force strokes of the belt on a bare bottom.

The belt teaches her a lesson

In the deep South the phrases “you are never too old for a spanking” and “as long as you live under my roof” still apply.  It is not uncommon for an 18 year old, high school senior, to be sent to her room for some good old fashioned corporal punishment.  Both mom and dad swing the belt and the results are always a marked and sore bottom.

A blistered bottom and a lesson learned.

Tears are common and often the goal.  A bruised bottom is not uncommon and helps the young lady realize that she needs to get her act together.  Discipline is strict and applied as often as necessary, regardless of the last time she received a whuppin.

Corporal Punishment Defined

Corporal punishment is the deliberate infliction of pain as retribution for an offence, or for the purpose of disciplining or reforming a wrongdoer, or to deter attitudes or behavior deemed unacceptable. The term usually refers to methodically striking the offender with an implement, whether in judicial, domestic, or educational settings.

Corporal punishment may be divided into three main types:

• parental or domestic corporal punishment: within the family—typically, children punished by parents or guardians;
• school corporal punishment: within schools, when students are punished by teachers or school administrators;
• judicial corporal punishment: as part of a criminal sentence ordered by a court of law. Closely related is prison corporal punishment, ordered either directly by the prison authorities or by a visiting court .

Corporal punishment of minors within domestic settings is lawful in all 50 of the United States and, according to a 2000 survey, is widely approved by parents

Corporal punishment in the home 

Domestic corporal punishment, i.e. of children and adolescents by their parents, is usually referred to colloquially as 

A hard strapping

 “spanking“, “whipping“, “smacking,” or “slapping.”

In an increasing number of countries it has been outlawed, starting with Sweden in 1979.  In some other countries, corporal punishment is legal, but restricted (e.g. blows to the head are outlawed and implements may not be used, and/or only children within a certain age range may be spanked).

In the United States and all African and most Asian nations, “spanking,” “whipping,” “smacking,” or “slapping” by parents is currently legal; it is also legal to use certain implements such as a belt or paddle.

In Canada, spanking by parents or legal guardians (but nobody else) is legal, as long as the child is not under 2 years or over 12 years of age, and no implement other than an open, bare hand is used (belts, paddles, etc. are strictly prohibited). Provinces can legally impose tighter restrictions than the aforementioned national restrictions, but none currently does so.

In the UK, spanking or smacking is legal, but it may not leave a mark on the body and in Scotland since October 2003 it has been illegal to use any implements when disciplining a child.

Corporal punishment in schools

Legal corporal punishment of school students for misbehavior involves striking the student on the buttocks or the palm of the hand in a premeditated ceremony with an implement specially kept for the purpose such as a rattan cane or spanking paddle, or with the open hand.

Paddled by the Principal

It is not to be confused with cases where a teacher lashes out on the spur of the moment, which is not “corporal punishment” but violence or brutality, and is illegal almost everywhere.

Corporal punishment used to be prevalent in schools in many parts of the world, but in recent decades it has been outlawed in nearly all of Europe, and in Japan, Canada, South Africa, New Zealand and other countries. It remains commonplace and lawful in many Asian, African and Caribbean countries.

In the United States, the Supreme Court ruled in Ingraham v. Wright (1977) that school corporal punishment does not constitute cruel and unusual punishment under the Eighth Amendment. Paddling is used in schools in a number of Southern states, though it is on the decline. However, 30 states ban corporal punishment in public schools, and two states, New Jersey and Iowa, additionally prohibit it in private schools.

In Canada, corporal punishment has been banned in public and private schools since 2004. Every province but Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Ontario already had provincial bans prior to 2004. The first province to ban school corporal punishment was British Columbia, in 1973.

In the UK, corporal punishment was outlawed in state schools in 1987 and in all private schools by 2003.

Corporal punishment of male students has, in most cultures, generally been more prevalent and more severe than that of female students. In Queensland, Australia, school corporal punishment of girls was banned in 1934, but for boys in private schools it is still legal as of 2010.In Singapore and Malaysia, schoolboys are routinely caned for misbehavior while the caning of girls at school is forbidden by law. In the U.S., statistics consistently show that about 80% of school paddlings are of boys.

Judicial or quasi-judicial punishment

     Countries with judicial corporal punishment

Some countries retain judicial corporal punishment, including a number of former British territories such as Botswana, Malaysia, Singapore and Tanzania. In Malaysia and Singapore, for certain specified offences, males are routinely sentenced to caning in addition to a prison term. The Singaporean practice of caning became much discussed around the world in 1994 when American teenager Michael P. Fay was caned for vandalism.

A number of countries with an Islamic legal system, such as Saudi Arabia, Iran, Sudan and northern Nigeria, employ judicial whipping for a range of offences. As of 2009, some regions of Pakistan are experiencing a breakdown of law and government, leading to a reintroduction of

Judicial Caning

 corporal punishment by ad hoc Islamic court As well as floggings, Saudi Arabia uses amputations or mutilation as a method of punishment. Such penalties are highly controversial. However, the term “corporal punishment” has since the 19th century usually meant caning, flogging or whipping rather than other kinds of physical penalties such as amputation.
