Public Spanking

[dunbarbarian]

I have doubts that this is an entirely true story, but it doesn't belong solely in ENM or ENF. I think some of the quotes are rewritten for dramatic effect, and the author themself admits they don't recall exactly what happened. However, I do believe this story recalls a true event. What say you?

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Public spankings were not at all uncommon while growing up in the 60s. Today it seems to have died as a practice, but it was considered acceptable when I was growing up. I was one of 3 children. Our mother was a proud spanker, and if we misbehaved in public we were spanked in public. Before we became teenagers there was no question we would be spanked on our bare bottom no matter who was present. Back then, that was considered the proper "childish" punishment for misbehavior and disobedience.

Perhaps my earliest vivid childhood memory is being subjected to one of these punishments. This day in age it would be seen as outright public humiliation but back then it was accepted and applauded. A lot of this is embellished and paraphrased, as I don't remember exactly what was said. But I do remember what was done and I do roughly remember the gist of the comments made by my mother and my aunt.

One day we were out shopping for clothes with my mother and our Aunt Susan. My older sister Carmen and my older cousin Noah were not controlling themselves. Carmen was 12, and more or less our ringleader and had been the one to start the back and forth jabbing between her and my 11 year old cousin Noah. This spread to my 9 year old brother Adam, before spreading to me and my 6 year old cousin Mary till we were all playfully whacking each other on the back of the head. I was only 7 at the time. We were all taking shots at each other and were warned multiple times both by mom and Aunt Susan to stop messing around in public. We didn't listen, and we were warned again. It continued. Eventually, my mom threatened us all with a spanking if we couldn't behave, right there in the store and Aunt Susan backed her up making it clear the warning applied to Noah and Mary as well and that we had one more chance.

We didn't last long. Adam was accidentally pushed into Aunt Susan by Carmen which caused her to drop a bag on the ground and all the clothes fell out. My mom yelled "THAT'S IT" and our fate was sealed. Mom took a chair from the area where people try on shoes and began to loudly reprimand us, saying she had warned us if we couldn't behave we would be punished then and there in public. Her loud voice drew attention from people nearby, who took notice of what was about to happen.

When mom officially sentenced each of us to a bare bottom spanking right there in the store, people started to walk over. Mom ordered us to "Line up by age, youngest to oldest. Mary, you're first." We had no choice but to submit, and I took the place at the front of the line as mom took Mary's pants and underwear down and put her over her knee as people continued to walk over and witness what was happening. We knew protesting in any way was useless unless we wanted to somehow make things worse for ourselves, and we knew our moms didn't care who was watching us get spanked bare bottom. After all they had warned us, and it was no surprise that they would follow through with their threat of this very embarrassing public punishment.

She gave each of us a bare bottom spanking by hand, and even at the tender age of 7 during Mary's punishment I took notice of the growing crowd of people. Mary took 10 quick-fire spanks, which made her cry, and mom released her. Not wasting any time, I presented myself and mom began to unbutton my jeans. I did not resist and she was always the one to take my pants and underwear down so it was normal.

She looked to Adam, who was behind me so I couldn't see him, and said "Adam, take off your pants." There was a brief pause before she said "now!" so I presume he hesitated in embarrassment before obeying in fear.

I had thought mom always took Adam's pants down, and that was certainly what I was used to. What I wasn't used to was this many people watching. After she took my pants down, we made eye contact as she put her thumbs in the underwear of my waistband and took them down too. I heard a laugh and quickly took my place over her lap and I was given 10 rapid spanks by mom's hand, the same as Mary. I cried in both pain and shame from the people watching me. It was so humiliating. Looking back I can't even imagine how the older kids felt.

I stood next to Mary with both our pants back on and noticed the crowd had grown to about 15-20 people and you could see more people joining. Many of the adults had young boys and girls with them, which made the punishment even more embarrassing since kids close to our age were going to watch. Thankfully I didn't recognize anyone but I also didn't dare make eye contact with anyone watching. Still, you could see people smiling and laughing.

It was then I heard mom say "you're old enough to know better, and you're old enough to take your own underwear off for a spanking." I saw Adam standing in just his T-shirt and underwear, blushing with tears streaming down both his face.

My mom gave the order: "Do it! All the way off." and my 9 year old brother looked with fear out at the still growing crowd.

Aunt Susan chimed in, "Your mom warned you and you didn't listen. Now you're gonna get a spanking on your bare bottom in front of all these people. Quit stalling. Get em down and step out of them."

Adam shut his eyes, and took his underpants down and off, revealing his little penis and leaving him wearing nothing below his midsection. I saw more tears stream down his face and heard a couple girls giggle. He quickly took his place over mom's knee and before she began the spanking she turned to Noah.

"Take off your shoes and your socks."

It was now that I noticed the oldest two and realized the brutal reality of their punishment. If Adam had been ordered to take off everything from the waist down, they were in for the same punishment if not worse, being the big kids. Noah and Carmen would be ordered to to bare themselves from the waist down in front of the onlookers, and to maximize the humiliation she had made them wait to be spanked last to give people time to come and watch. Even at age 9, Adam was embarrassed to bare himself with these people watching. At just age 7 I was embarrassed to be spanked bare in front of the crowd. Noah was 11, and Carmen was 12, but although they were tweens, they were not yet teens and that meant there was no doubt they would be ordered to bare their bottoms, which would no doubt expose their frontal nudity as well in front of all these people.

And the crowd continued to grow past 20 witnesses...

Noah slid his shoes off and crouched down to take his socks off. Tears had welled up in his eyes and his cheeks blushed with shame. Carmen, rather surprisingly, was focused on the crowd. You could see her breathing quite heavily, chest heaving. Her cheeks also blushed red due to her impending humiliation and forced nudity, but she seemed to want to know who was going to witness her punishment. Many people watching were not aware she would be spanked bare bottom like the rest, as there was a common double standard afforded to preteen girls like Carmen. No doubt many in the crowd believed she was too old for that childish of a punishment in front of so many people, but mom didn't agree and she knew it. You could see Carmen gritting her teeth in anxiety. I'm sure there were boys in the audience around her age focused on her, patiently awaiting the moment mom gave the order to take off her pants and maybe, just maybe, her panties. I wonder if she made eye contact with anyone.

Mom's hand smacked Adam's bare ass 10 times, but the difference was she spanked him rather slowly and harder than me or Mary. There was a period of silence where you only heard mom's hand five-starring Adam's buttocks about every 5 seconds. Very, very hard spanks that made me feel lucky I was spanked so quickly. Adam held his tongue in the beginning, keeping his eyes shut. Another couple of people joined the crowd. And then, on about the 6th spank, he gave in and started crying. The combination of humiliation and pain got to him and he began to wail in submission. Mom persisted through the tenth stinging spank to his but and pushed him up. Adam rubbed his bottom before picking up and donning his underwear, facing away from the crowd. He must have preferred that everyone see his red bottom rather than give the girls another look at his penis. He picked up his pants, shoes and socks and came over by Mary and I. Adam dressed, still crying, as the focus turned to the next condemned child.

I saw the crowd collectively turn toward Noah, who stood barefoot facing the floor, blushing. The time had come for his public humiliation. My mom got things moving.

"Noah, take off your pants."

I remember thinking she might spank him over his underwear to protect his modesty, but that was soon confirmed to be a pipe dream. He took his jeans off and the first tear streamed down his cheek. For the first time, my mom addressed the audience, all but confirming she deliberately kept Noah and Carmen for last to maximize the embarrassment they felt during the punishment.

"I just want to make it known for those who are wondering, this is not my boy. He's my nephew. That's his mama standing over there with my 12 year old daughter. I've spanked him before, privately and in public, although never in front of quite so many people. I'll spank him again surely, but hopefully he learns from this to listen to his mama and aunt who are taking the time to buy him clothes. It seems he has forgotten, but as long as we are buying him clothes, we can take his clothes off him too. No matter who's watching. With that being said-"

Aunt Susan interrupted, "Wait. Noah?"

Once again I thought there might be some reprieve given to my 11 year old cousin, but there was to be no mercy. If anything, Aunt Susan rubbed salt into wounds.

"Look out at the crowd."

Noah sniffled, but obeyed, and looked at all the people. The crowd had fully formed to over 30, maybe even 40 people who had assembled to witness the spanking.

"You see how many people are gonna watch?"

He nodded.

"You see the girls?"

He nodded, and tears streamed down both of his blushing cheeks. Susan gave the green light.

"Go ahead Amelia. 20. As hard as you can. Make him take his own shorts off like Adam."

Mom took back charge: "Alright young man, get them down and step out of them."

Quicker than I expected, Noah obeyed took off his underwear, and I will never forget how the crowd actually reacted audibly as a collective. Overall it was a murmur but you could hear different things. Someone said 'wow' rather loudly, a couple girls made this laugh that was a mixture of pleasure and shock. People were whispering and even talking to each other about what they saw between Noah's legs. He quickly took his place of submission over mom's knee and she gave him a very hard, very slow hand spanking which made him cry after about 12 of the 20 smacks to his bare bottom. He cried in submission and abject helplessness, and by the final spank Noah was roaring in pain, pathetically begging mom to stop.

She let him up and he gave a little hop, rubbing his bottom and this was when I focused on Noah's genitals. I'd seen him spanked bare bottom before which meant I had seen Noah's penis, but to this day I don't understand why the crowd acted so impressed. I supposed myself and Adam had tiny little organs, and I will admit Noah's penis was decently long for an 11 year old but he was still a little boy, hairless and prepubescent. I can understand the girls' reactions of awe but what did the adults find impressive? Perhaps they just wanted to participate in the humiliation.

Noah quickly put his undershorts back on and slowly regained his composure as all eyes in the room focused on the final child to be punished, my furiously blushing 12 year old sister Carmen. It was one thing to witness a 6 year old girl like Mary get a spanking. It was uncommon in my era to see a tween girl spanked in public, and as I later learned it was very rare to see a girl spanked bare bottom in front of anyone outside family past age 10. Most around Carmen's age would be spanked over pants, or panties for severe offenses to protect modesty. There was often a double standard afforded to pre-teen and teen girls but we all knew that mom believed in equality of the sexes, and especially with Carmen being the ringleader she would not be spared for her modesty. Her panties were coming off with everyone watching, and there was nothing she could do about it. It's possible some people watching got a clue of what was coming from how intense her blushing was. No matter what, the crowd was clearly looking forward to witnessing Carmen's punishment. To be honest, myself, Noah, Adam, and Mary were watching as if members of the crowd as Carmen was the one who got us into this. Mom took the time to address this specifically and spoke to the audience for the second time.

"You've witnessed 4 children spanked on their bare bottoms here in a public store because it is right here in this store where they disobeyed multiple direct commands to behave. They were warned they would be spanked right here in front of everyone who could see if they didn't get their act right, and I know they are all very sorry. That being said, the one most responsible for this spectacle is this big girl right here. She is my daughter Carmen, and I love her too much to allow her, a 12 year old, to encourage misbehavior from her little brothers and cousins."

Carmen was facing the ground in a rageful agony as mom continued her theatrical monologue, no doubt building up the anticipation.

"I am sure you all have gathered that Carmen is about to get a spanking from me, and I'm sure many of you are assuming I will, at most, order her to take her pants down. That is not why I made her wait to be spanked last. I wanted as many people to witness this punishment as possible because while her pants are indeed coming off, she'll be undressing more than that."

People in the crowd shifted their focus to mom.

"Some girls might be afforded modesty which many boys inexplicably are not for the same misbehavior, but the girl standing here in front of you will not be so lucky, and just so you know: she is fully aware of this. You all saw how the boys reacted when I forced them to expose themselves in front of you. They were naturally embarrassed that you all saw their nakedness, but children under my authority who earn a spanking in public are entitled to no privacy, and every child of mine is spanked on their bare bottom with no exceptions, and no regard for their modesty. There is no double standard here and Carmen knows this, which is why she's blushing as much as she is... because she knows, just the same as the younger kids, I am about to order her to bare her genitals in front of all of you for her public spanking, like the child she is."

The crowd began to murmur, gasp, and whisper with excitement.

"Any embarrassment she feels from you all looking between her legs she deserves. I welcome it. There isn't any dignity involved in this at all. I'm going to command my daughter to take off everything below her waist and she has no choice but to obey and submit to the punishment. You all will see her private parts, and that's my choice to make them public. This girl is a young child just like the others you just saw punished, and I intend to inflict the same humiliation they all felt on her and then some. Carmen, I'm sure you're very sorry for getting into this, but you're about to be so much sorrier."

All eyes were now back on Carmen while mom continued.

"There will be absolutely no sympathy from me for her modesty. I know full well the boys are shy, but I made them take off their underpants in front of you all anyway, because I knew if you could see bare bottoms, and their penises, it would be very embarrassing for them. That was my full intention. Why should my intention be any different for my daughter? Why should I show any mercy to this girl who influenced the disobedience in the first place? I know my daughter and she's the most shy and modest of any of these kids... and it's fitting that she will feel the most pain and the most embarrassment of them all. If anyone objects to their child seeing this girl's frontal and rear nudity, now is the time to take them out of the store because the only thing she will be wearing during the spanking she is about to receive is her shirt."

Mom addressed Carmen directly.

"I saw you looking out at the crowd, young lady. Dozens of people. Plenty of boys who are gonna get a real good look at you. No need to keep them waiting any longer."

A tear fell down Carmen's cheek.

"All eyes are on you, Carmen. Take off everything below your waist and come over my knee. You're getting 30 on your bare bottom."

You could see Carmen almost burst into tears after mom gave her the fateful order but she kept her composure. She took her shoes and socks off, followed slowly by her pants. She never looked at the people in the crowd watching her humiliation. That way she could pretend they weren't there. Finally, she took a very deep breath and took off her panties. In those couple of seconds when her genitals came into view, all eyes were glued between Carmen's legs looking at her bald vulva.

There was a reaction from the crowd as a collective that sounded very pleased and impressed, kind of like a large weight had been lifted from everyone's shoulders. Somebody whistled in approval. It was now clearly visible that Carmen was prepubescent, which only reinforced my mother's notion that she deserved to be punished like a little girl.

Carmen assumed the submissive position, and mom handspanked her bare bottom 30 times, very slowly with force and precision. By the halfway through, she was howling in submission. By the final spank, Carmen was screaming and crying out in unspeakable pain and humiliation. It was the only one of the spankings that got a clear approval from the audience, perhaps because it was the final spanking, but probably because seeing a tween girl spanked naked from the waist down in public was not a common sight, and my mother was praised for giving equal treatment to all children, with emphasis placed on Carmen. People praised mom for being confident in her authority over each child to give us spankings in public. They especially admired her honesty about the authority she held to choose who witnessed our punishment and who could see our nakedness if she felt we deserved to feel embarrassment as part of the punishment. People also praised Aunt Susan for backing mom up through the whole thing. One man opined that Carmen's lack of development meant there was especially no reason for her to be treated differently. A woman said it was impressive she could dominate her nephew like that, and suggested it was a punishment Noah would never forget. I don't think any of us ever forgot it. This all being discussed right in front of us was one final humiliation, but personally I can say I got off very easy. The crowd finally dissembled, and us kids went home feeling quite humbled to say the least.

I don't know how many times I witnessed my siblings and cousins receive bare bottom spankings before I turned 10 but I know it was a semi-regular occurrence, but that specific event will be in my memories till the day I die. It certainly wasn't the last time I was spanked bare in public or private, but it probably was the last time I ever saw Carmen get spanked as she turned 13 a few months later. Quite the grand finale I must say.

That's one of the greatest stories I've ever read. What did you think?
