Court case dismissed against head who caned cheeky boys
A court dismissed a case in 1962
against a headmaster who gave two 14-year-old boys six-of-the-best after they
cheeked a woman teacher. One boy said the cane marks on his backside lasted ten
days and that before the headmaster beat him, he had been spanked by his mother
and elder brother. In a footnote the newspaper reported, ‘Mr Collins [the
headmaster] left the court with his cane under his arm.’

Evening News, 12 December 1962.

A victory for common sense it seems!
ReplyDeleteBut the position of that boy as portrayed by Damian Simons is extraordinary. Could you not have found a real 13 year old boy to bend down for you so you could see what he looked like?
