TV crew visits a school district in North Carolina with the most paddlings in the state, but also one of the lowest levels of violent incidents. United Kingdom: TV news item about the European Court of Human Rights ruling in the Scottish tawse case (1982). United Kingdom: Press article and 5-minute TV report about Litherland High School in Liverpool, where 400 boys received 1,800 slipperings in one year (1982).
New Zealand: TV news item (2007) about a Christian school that tried to evade the ban on corporal punishment by having parents come to the school to administer a paddling. Dec 2012: Two young men are paraded before TV cameras on the courtroom steps after being sentenced to strokes of the rotan for rape and robbery. United States: Four TV news reports (Nov 2014) about school paddling in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida and Texas. A new report notes that paddling numbers are high in Alabama. A local TV report (Aug 2009) finds differing opinions, and interviews a school superintendent who says many parents support CP. Unlike caning under civil laws, the punishment under Islamic law is not painful or harsh and was meant to educate the women, said Sinwan. “Repentance is the ultimate aim for their sin,” he said.minute news report from Florida (2007) about a man who is in trouble for spanking his 8-year-old son with a belt. Includes interview with the man and his lawyer. United States: TV news report, November 2012: The current spanking situation in Tennessee schools. Some wish to abolish CP. News report, 2012: A shopkeeper in Quebec foils a would-be young robber and spanks his bare bottom. This 10-second video clip gives a fleeting glimpse of an impromptu flogging by the Taliban of a (mostly hidden from view) woman in a Kabul street, 2001.
Sudan: Public whipping of a woman for wearing trousers (2010). A very distasteful scene, made worse by the stupid manner in which it is carried out. Woman sentenced to Sharia caning for drinking beer asks for the punishment to be administered in public. (In fact, it was never administered at all.)
Canada: TV news item (2007) about a local school board offering parents lessons in how to spank their children. A principal in another part of Missouri is found to have done no wrong in administering a paddling about which the student's mother complained. TV news item from Jan 2008 about the paddling of a student. His mother had given permission for the punishment, but then complained when it left marks on his rear. An investigation found there had been no abuse or wrongdoing on the part of the school. United States: TV news report from April 2011 on a Missouri school district where the paddle (pictured) is in regular use. A man and a woman are each given 7 strokes in 2007. This gives a much clearer picture of the procedure than previous clips.

Thailand: Jocular punishment in which schoolboys are made to cane each other in front of their class.

Domestic CP
United States: TV news report (2015) on a Florida father who called on the Sheriff's office to supervise the paddling of his 12-year-old daughter -- a service which, it turned out, they were happy to provide. Slaves were whipped daily; it must not necessarily be when they have committed a serious offence, rather, beatings, whippings and other torture acts were a form of mind and body control; a way to re-assert the dominance of their masters and also demoralize the slaves, keeping them bent on their labour. No condition makes an exception for any slave: the young, old, male, female, including pregnant women where lashed whenever the occasion calls for such. Part of the Syariah caning of a woman is shown. This was one of three, the first-ever canings of women in Malaysia (2010). United States: Members of the public are interviewed in Fayetteville, North Carolina, April 2007, on their views about corporal punishment in school in light of a bill to abolish paddling in the state. Two youths paddled by, allegedly, their father. UPDATE: It now appears that this clip is from South Africa, not the United States. Extra text added.
A 22-minute film showing several genuine judicial canings in prison. Very graphic -- not suitable for squeamish viewers.

United States: TV news report, Jan 2012: A mother complains about school paddling of her son, even though she had given permission for it. See the postings for "Terminal Island" and "Sweet Sugar" for more Women in Prison clips and trailers.A jocular birthday paddling in a classroom, date and location unknown.
