ORIGINAL: GoddessMarissa When in public I dont believe it's right to do humiliation because children can see this and take it in a wrong way. So as far as public humilation goes I try to use more caution. Precisely, and an excellent point Marissa. There are general public places, (shopping malls, restaurants, etc), where children are present and any physical humiliation acts should be avoided in common sense. There are also semi-public places (parking lots, large parks, etc) where the prevalence of children is much less, and a smack or act of humiliation would be less likely observed by children. You both as adults have a responsibility to safeguard your play from certain others in public, especially children. Having a gullible and innocent child observing someone's Grandmother slapping or verbally blistering the Grandfather in the Mall is totally uncalled for, and cannot be justified. Take this type of activity to the golf course, shuffleboard court, or any other place away from children's observations. Your public play may come to haunt you, as I personally witnessed an off duty military officer who was still in uniform wind up in deep legal shit, for slapping his child on the butt in public. This happened at a courthouse annex, where the officer, wife and child had gone to pay his auto registration fee, and his child was having a tantrum (to go to the Mall). The chastisement was witnessed by several Sheriff's Deputies, and a State Prosecutor. The prosecuotor instructed the Deputies to take the officer into custody and charge him with child abuse. This escalated to the military base, and to his Commander who charged him with a violation of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), in conduct unbecoming of an officer. The long and short of it was the officer had to take time off from his military duties to attend counseling, was placed on probation and Anger Management, and had to pay court costs and fines, plus probation and Anger Management costs... while being Courts-Martialed by the military base Legal Office. He was found guilty, and reduced in rank from Captain to 1st Lieutenant, and subsequently shipped off to finish his hitch in Korea, alone. His wife was also blacklisted by the military wives at the base, and she ultimately started dating another Captain and filed for a divorce from the now 1st Lieutenant in Korea. All from a slap on the butt to his own 6-7 year old child who was having a fit in public. This example may seem out of context with regard to public humiliation, but I listed it to simply illustrate that what you understand to be, or find acceptable in public may in fact NOT be perceived as acceptable by those around you in public. When you chose to do public humiliation play, stay away from the courthouse! Inyouagain
