Good idea.

My son would have had to wait a few weeks for the bruises to heal…..

Child Abductive Services will be by in a couple of hours to take the kid and charge the father.

Sadly, you may be right. I hope not.

Child Abductive Services will be by in a couple of hours to take the kid and charge the father. Meanwhile, the next door neighbor who sexually abuses his 4 year-old will never see them.

Ever.

Lustration: A freeing from sin, guilt, or defilement: purgation , purification. Beats getting the shaving strap.

Well, not quite the same thing, but I once made my son go put on a clean unwrinkled shirt before going to the neighbor’s house for a group dinner. But I think the principle is the same.

I will only mention, not describe, the hilarity that ensued on another occasion, when my wife found a cache of porn in his school notebook. Showing it to me, she asked, “What do you think of this.” It was all I could do to avoid saying, “Not too bad!”

The boy in the story will survive, and may actually learn from this event.
