SSC2007-15: The Right Way (M/b, spank) [Someone Else's Kink] [500 words]

This story is fiction and deals with a public parental spanking. If such a subject is offensive, uninteresting or if you are a minor (i.e., child) please leave now. This is a _Not My Kink / Someone Else's Kink_ entry. Grace Brackenridge has posted many stories where the child insisted on being spanked; I've taken this to an extreme. She has approved the use of her name here.

The Right Way
by
Y Lee Coyote

Ten-year-old Zachary Mayhawk was most upset with his parents. They were not raising him correctly in his opinion. "Correctly" was the way all the other boys on the block were brought up. For a long time he had been pleading with his parents to do the right thing; to give him the things that all his friends got. Zachary's parents were at a loss as the lad was becoming unmanageable. They consulted experts but their approach conformed to the most modern child raising theories.

After complaining _for forever_, Zachary took his parents to court. His lawyer pulverized the parents' witness for their modern theories were just personal opinions without real experience to back them up. They each left the witness stand looking like well-spanked children -- very contrite. His witnesses did well for they were mature, experienced experts with lots of real data to support their opinions.

Zachary won the case and his parents were ordered by the court to provide for his proper upbringing.

The media surrounded young Zachary on the courthouse steps. They took lots of pictures and asked lots of silly questions. Mr. Mayhawk tried to get him to come but he refused delighting in the attention of the journalists. His father reached his limit and dragged Zachary down the steps. The boy protested and the photographers took lots of pictures. Mr. Mayhawk sat down on a bench and started to lecture his son about the need to listen and to obey and to come when called. Failure had consequences!

Zachary was about to experience such consequences for the first time.

Holding his son tightly, Mr. Mayhawk opened Zach's belt and pants. Zach protested but without effect for both pants and underpants were yanked down. He was quickly flipped over his father's lap and spanked very hard. The cameras went into overdrive as the hard spanks turned Zachary's bottom bright red, brought copious tears to his eyes and loud wails of pain. All was recorded for posterity.

Zachary stood between Mr. Mayhawk's legs being hugged until he stopped crying. When his dad said it was time to go, he dutifully said: "Yes, Father."

It was all over the news that evening as the local human interest story since it isn't every day that a boy wins a lawsuit against his parents. Zachary did not like that his first spanking was shown on the local TV channel and his red butt in the paper. They showed him with the caption: "Zach learns that SPANKINGS HURT!"

One enterprising reporter spoke with his father later that night and Zachary was horrified to read about that interview. "Yes, now that I've spanked Zach and saw how effective it is, I'll happily obey the court's orders as long as he lives under my roof. Of course, as he grows, I'll have use other things -- strap and paddle -- rather than my hand."

A month and twenty spankings later Zachary was thinking that maybe it wasn't such a good idea to sue to get spanked.

The End

This was an OK story for those who like child spanking stories but there was nothing really to push it out of the ordinary. I guessed the twist before I got to the end and I found some of the grammar slughtly confusing, like 'His lawyer pulverized the parents' witness for their modern theories' but that's by the by.  Yes it was OK nothing more than that.

An interesting twist on the usual court dramas involving spanking and children.  I enjoyed reading it and would like to see it made into a mini-series!

I really liked this!  A different take on things, and something that hits a lot of my hot buttons.  Very well written, and the concept was nicely fleshed out in so short a story.

There's nothing like a good comeuppance story.  Someone can warn you that you won't like something, but we're so hard headed, we won't relent until we've experienced it for ourselves.  We should be even more wary when it's something not so easily reversible.  Nice morality play.

I like the broad scope of the story. It tries to cover a lot of ground, and has a pleasing structure to it. The cost of that approach, though, is that the plot has a cartoony simplicity. The strokes are extremely broad. Any sense of depth of character is lost as motivations become shallow and thin. In that sense it's like a comic strip rather than a story. One can imagine the final panel, with lines showing heat radiating from the kid's bottom, in the traditional way. It's a fun romp, so long as it's taken on that level.
