I am from Canada. I was spanked in school back in 1973 when I was 8. It started as corner time and evolved to an over-the-knee pants spanking upfront of all the boys and girls. Eventually, it turned into “pants down” spankings in front of the whole class. I was humiliated and shamed and undressed and spanked and then dressed in front of 30 other little kids. It has ruined my life. I am single, lonely, and deeply depressed. I am ashamed to be still living in the same community where this abuse occurred. Those child witnesses are now adults, happy with grown children of their own,I remain a recluse. So here I am, telling this to a bunch of strangers.
