Suprised that they did not try to pin some sexual charge on him for taking off his belt. Try to portray him as being an S&M freak or something.

The worst whipping I ever got as a kid was from the man across the street (I accidently shot him in the nose with a rubber tipped dart gun when he had told me several times not to point it at anything I did not intend to shoot. He was a prolific gun collector and was trying to teach me gun safety). I went home and told my mom expecting her to give him hell. She took me by the hand, took me back over there and whoopped me in front of him.

It used to be that every adult in the neighborhood looked after all of the kids and took a little responsibility in doling out discipline. No more.
