An earlier (2009) report on the same subject, including a view of an illegal immigrant's bottom after one stroke of the rotan. United States: TV news report, July 2012: A school district in Tennessee decides that parents will be assumed to consent to CP unless they state to the contrary in writing (instead of the other way round). Protracted flogging by local mullahs of a teenage girl for running away from a forced marriage, 2010. Mummy sat on the bed, and slid the slipper deftly under the pillow. Then turned a nervous, worried Karen to face her. “I told you quite plainly Karen, that if you were naughty at school, you would be punished at home.” As she did this she tugged the pyjama bottoms down, to land in a puddle at her daughters ankles.

TV news segment from Tennessee (Dec 2009) about a strange case in which high-school students negotiated to get swats instead of doing their work. This story is based on the true recorded events of a finishing school in Bristol, England in the late 1800’s.

Would be saying that very night…”I hear Karen got into Grammer school, she deserves it, her Mummy will be so proud.” I offer her a spanking present, which will be a mystery gift. We discuss our next steps. She leaves, happy and excited. But then I turned to the "Letters to the Editor" (with the motto "Want to give the Editor the business? Here is where you can"), and my eyes popped out. There was a very long, descriptive letter from a husband describing how he had come to give his wife weekly disciplinary "whippings" (for some reason the writer avoided calling them spankings, but they clearly were) after learning the ins and outs of disciplining a wife from his neighbor. The first whipping was given because his wife was exposing herself to the neighborhood by going outside to hang up the laundry (no fancy clothes dryers for them) wearing sheer underwear. Why the wife would want to show her lacy undies off to the neighborhood was never explained - I guess it was just assumed that all women were exhibitionists, but the spanking, using birch and paddle, was vividly described. The spit in her mouth had gone, her knees went weak as she saw Mummy swell before her taking a deep breath. Her eyebrow lifted and vanished beneath her fringe. She sat down, and opened the envelope.
