Child Discipline Imitative Condensed Overview and Technical Summary

By Nialos Leaning

Note: The following material is written primarily from the perspective of how the fictional Child Discipline Initiative operates in the United States; other countries may vary somewhat in specific details based on local customs, traditions, and disciplinary priorities.

As used in this article, it is important to understand the difference in meaning between inappropriate behavior, delinquent acts, and status offenses.  Inappropriate behavior consists of acts that most adults would consider as either being misbehavior or detrimental to the child's welfare and best interests. A delinquent act is any behavior prohibited by law that would be considered a crime if committed by an adult, i.e., either a felony, misdemeanor or in some states for relatively minor offenses a criminal infraction.  Status offense are violations of laws prohibiting children but not adults form certain behaviors, such as being in public after a municipal youth curfew, underage tobacco use, underage alcohol use, and if all other efforts to resolve the issue have failed, persistent truancy. The Child Discipline Initiative processes and treats delinquent acts involving infractions the same as it does status offenses.

The modern worldwide Child Disciple Initiative (CDI) that is now the standard among all developed and many other nations was adapted as the most viable response to widespread concern over the multi-decade long trend of ever increasing levels of inappropriate behavior by children, especially those ages 10 to 17.

Implementation involved a 5 year period from initial research to operation of fully functional Child Discipline Assistance Centers.  The first step in the implementation was the conducting of research and studies to identify the most effective methods to decrease the levels of misbehavior and to hold children accountable for their actions.

Within the first year, the research reached an at the time controversial conclusion that the most effective methodology for holding children accountable involved imposing consequences for inappropriate behavior that utilized a combination of humiliation, embarrassment and pain, the so called HEP model. Shortly after the first year, the even more controversial consensus developed among the researchers that the best results were achieved through using sexual behaviors such as forced erections and public masturbation for humiliation, public nudity for embarrassment, and public spankings for pain. Based on these findings, policies and techniques were designed and protocols involving counseling, education, and shaping public perceptions were developed to minimize any potential long term and short term harmful outcomes, other than embarrassment and humiliation during the duration of time and for a short period after a child is under HEP discipline.

During that first year, it was also unequivocally established as had been long thought for many centuries that all child misbehavior stemmed from a lapse of self discipline on the child's part. That line of study also clearly verified the long held supposition that a child's repeated failure to do what is expected and required by society, community, family and school or not doing what is necessary to succeed at personal goals such as athletic, artistic or academic excellence was due to a persistent lack of self discipline by the child. It was quickly established that the same HEP methods utilized for holding children accountable for and correcting inappropriate behavior were very effective in also alleviating an endemic lack of self discipline and surprisingly, a pervasive lack of self confidence.

For those children with a persistent lack of self discipline, the HEP methodologies develop self discipline through the mechanism of requiring the child to repeatedly do things he or she finds difficult, embarrassing, humiliating or painful until reaching the point of doing those actions without protest, hesitation or reluctance even if the child is uncomfortable doing them. For self confidence, the underlying psychological process is much the same; the child develops self confidence by being required to repeatedly risk doing inherently unpleasant humiliating, embarrassing and painful tasks until mastering doing them on demand without any trepidation or delay even if the tasks remain unpleasant for the child to do.  (It has long been known that children primarily develop self confidence by taking risks doing actions they deem dangerous, beyond their abilities, or unpleasant until they achieve some degree of success at performing those tasks.)

With the above findings widely endorsed by the experts, implementation next moved on to development of a comprehensive integrated system intended to address both types of disciplinary failure on the child's part.  From that emerged the philosophy that the primary purpose of the system was to assist those responsible for a child's upbringing and well being, such as parents and schools, in developing the child's self discipline to at least the level necessary for success in all aspects of life.   From this philosophy emerged the methodologies now in use of correcting temporary lapses of discipline as evidenced by misbehavior and inappropriate actions by imposing short term Child Consequence Orders and alleviating persistent demonstrations of a lack of self discipline or lack of self confidence by using longer term Child Discipline Orders.

Next attention was given to organizational structure.  A widely supported determination was made that services and consequences were best delivered at open to the public Child Discipline Assistance Centers. These CDACs, as they came to be known, serve children ages 5 to 17 and in countries such as the United States and Canada which now considered than to be children, those 18, 19 and 20 year olds who had not yet graduated high school (or its equivalent in their country) or received a Certificate of High School Equivalency or similar credential.  Those 18, 19 and 20 year olds who have graduated or received a certificate are considered adults and are not subject to the Initiative.  (In the United States, high school graduation signifies completion of a 13 year long course of study that begins with kindergarten, usually at age 5, and ends at the conclusion of grade 12, typically at age 17 or 18 depending on the child's actual birth date within the year. Children who repeat one or more grade levels will be at an older age upon graduation and remain children until graduation or reaching age 21.  Conversely, those who skip grade levels will be a younger age at graduation but are still children until reaching age 18.)

As part of the implementation, a comprehensive media campaign was implemented to garner public support for the initiative, educate about specific disciplinary consequences, accustom the population to publically viewing consequences, and generating widespread public acceptance of nudity, sexual humiliation, and spanking as being the accepted appropriate response to childhood inappropriate behaviors and failures of self discipline and self confidence.  This campaign featured two major components.  The first was an (still ongoing) effort producing educational materials in print, video and film describing the Initiative and its philosophy, procedures, operations and in explicit detail the various consequences for disciplinary failure.  The other component involved uncensored depictions of consequences in fictional books and stories, television programs, motion pictures, and live theatrical productions.  The television, film and theatre campaign utilized a graduated approach starting with nudity in children's cartoons to eventually depicting all possible consequences in all media and types of productions.

To avoid overly saturating the public and lessening the impact, the CDI authorities paid producers incentives to include these depictions subject to limitations per production or episode as to frequency, length, and types of consequences.  These incentives were important to producers as by agreement with the various performers' unions those child performers undergoing on screen or stage the various consequences receive for each day they perform such consequences supplementary additional income of between 50% and 300% of their daily contractual compensation based on type of consequences and length of filming of the consequence. (A child who is nude on set for 1 hour receives less than a child who is nude for 2 hours; a child who masturbates in front of the camera receives more than a child who for the same length of time is simply nude and spanked.)  Now that the Initiative is a part of everyday life and incentives rarely offered, authors and producers continue when appropriate to the storyline and scenario to include such depictions as they have proven to increase sales and attendance.

The overall administrative and operational structure that emerged was CDACs being operated at a local level with various regional, state and national or multinational agencies providing administrative and regulatory oversight. In the United States, the top level agency is the United States Child Discipline Assistance and Enforcement Administration. An example of a multinational top level agency is the Commonwealth Nations and Crown Dependencies Child Discipline Assistance and Enforcement Commission.  Most Commonwealth nations and all British Crown Dependencies operate under jurisdiction of the Commission.  Australia and New Zealand opted out of Commission jurisdiction to operate their own joint agency; Canada also operates its own agency with policies and procedures closely aligned with that of the United States.

The lower level agency structure of the United States is typical of that in many other jurisdictions.  In the United States, each state and territory receiving federal child discipline funding, which currently is all of them, operate a state level administrative agency responsible for receiving and distributing federal funding, ensuring compliance with national and state standards, and providing support to the state's regional and local operational agencies, if any. In some states and most territories, especially the geographically smaller ones, the state administrative agency also operate the CDACs. In others, especially larger ones, multi-jurisdictional regional agencies under supervision of the state agency perform many of the same duties as the statewide agency. In some states and larger territories, the regional agency also operates the discipline centers.  In others, these regional agencies are purely administrative and supervisory with the centers operated by a local agency; typically these local agencies operate within the same boundaries as the judicial district in which they're located.

It was realized that to be highly utilized, CDACs needed to be convenient to the public.  Depending on population density, each CDAC serves an overall population of 25,000 to 100,000 people.  In the United States, children ages 8 to 17 make up approximately 15% of the overall population and individuals ages 5 to 19 constitutes approximately 22.5% of the population.  The goal was set that in lightly populated rural areas, households be within one hour travel time of a CDAC, in less dense suburban areas 45 minutes, in more heavily populated suburbs, 30 minutes, and in dense urban areas and high density towns and communities, 20 minutes.  In less populated areas, to achieve these goals, CDACs might operate on a part time basis, with different ones in the area open on different days or times, with all open on weekends.  This means that a parent or school might need to wait a day or possibly two for their nearest center to be open; however, as  everywhere in the country, they are free to bring the child to any open CDAC, not just the nearest.  Some less populated communities are experimenting with spankmobiles, which on a set schedule transport to a neighborhood all needed equipment to set up a temporary CDAC in a local theatre, community center, or school gymnasium or auditorium; the concept is similar to  bookmobiles operated by libraries.  Spankmobiles are also being used in some areas to set up temporary CDACs at events that attract many children, such as major professional sporting events, youth tournaments, carnivals, fairs, and festivals.  All Child Discipline Assistance Centers have weekend hours as well as evening hours at least to 9:00 p.m., later in more populated areas and often on Friday and Saturday nights.

At the Child Discipline Assistance Center, various personnel perform specific duties:

Child Discipline Assessment Officers are responsible for issuing Child Consequence Orders after classifying behavior as to type and severity level; consequences are based on established protocols and policies. To ensure uniformity, assessments are computer guided and consequences computer generated; supervisor approval is required to override computer determined assessments and consequences. They also refer appropriate cases to the Child Discipline Commissioners, either in lieu of or in addition to issuing a Child Consequence Order, depending on circumstances.

Child Discipline Consequence Officers carry out the imposed consequences.  Typically, one officer reiterates the consequences to the child and overseas the child getting ready, including becoming nude if not already so.  Two officers, including the first one, than ensure that all consequences to be delivered or served at the CDAC are carried out completely.

Child Discipline Enforcement Officers essentially are the unarmed police force of the Child Discipline Initiative.  In the United States, depending on the state or territory, they may be employees of the local agency operating CDACs within its jurisdictional boundary, a regional agency, or the state agency. The officers provide security at CDACS, patrol neighborhoods looking for misbehaviors under CDAC jurisdiction and for noncompliance with consequence or discipline orders.  They also conduct spot checks of the homes and schools of children under an order, especially discipline orders and level 5 or higher consequence orders.  Enforcement officers are also stationed at most schools; they're also assigned to events attracting a large number of children. They respond to parental and school requests for assistance; usually these involve out of control children or children not cooperating with efforts to take them to a CDAC. Police can also respond to such requests, if they're closer to the scene or an enforcement officer is unavailable or is in need of assistance. To distinguish from police vehicles, Enforcement Officers use vehicles with flashing green and orange emergency lights rather than law enforcement red and blue lights.

Child Disciple Evaluation Workers are the "social workers" of the system.  Upon referral of a child to a Discipline Commissioner, they evaluate the child and family and make recommendations to the Commissioner.  By law, for children under a consequence order, the evaluations, recommendations, and Commissioner's hearing must be completed within 72 hours of referral or expiration of the order, whichever occurs first.  As these children are under a consequence order, they receive their evaluations and attend hearings naked.  For children not under a consequence order, 7 days (168 hours) is permitted from referral to hearing.  Since children not under a consequence order primarily have been referred either for mitigating or questionable circumstances that indicate a strong possibly that a consequence order should not be issued or for a persistent lack of self discipline or self confidence, this longer period allows additional time to complete the more complex evaluations and family social history investigations that these cases typically ensue. As they are not under a consequence order, these children are dressed for their evaluations and hearings; they only become naked upon issuance of a discipline order.

Child Discipline Commissioners function very similarly to judges, but much more informally and without authority to impose fines or periods of incarceration.  In the United States, Commissioners are always state employees separate from the state administrative agency to ensure impartiality and independence in decisions.  Commissioners handle cases involving a persistent lack of self discipline as opposed to a lapse of discipline, as those distinctions are defined above, and cases of pervasive lack of self confidence.  They handle all instances of violations of court orders not related to felony delinquent acts, violations of consequence orders, and violations of discipline orders.  In the United States, after the appropriate consequence order was been issued and effected, they also handle all cases involving bullying, status offenses as previously defined in this document, and all cases of delinquent misdemeanor and infraction offenses. They also handle persistent runaways not complying with their treatment, reconciliation or placement plans.  By law, all these cases must be handled by a Commissioner rather than the judicial system.  Commissioners in the United States also handle felony delinquent cases diverted by judicial officials at any stage of the process to CDAC jurisdiction in lieu of further court proceedings.  Decisions of Commissioners can be appealed to the courts; they can only be overturned if clearly contrary to the child discipline laws or plainly not supported by the facts.  Due to these restrictions, very few cases are appealed and those are very rarely reversed or remanded for further proceedings; annually in the United States less than 10 cases per year nationwide are reversed or remanded.

The heart of the Initiative is the assignment of discipline severity levels based on the type of inappropriate behavior:

0 - Considering child's physical age, no misbehavior or disciplinary action not warranted; includes violation of a legislative or parent imposed curfew by 10 or less minutes if no other curfew violations in past month. Consequences and referrals to a Commissioner are never imposed for this level. If deemed appropriate, complaining party can be issued mandatory referrals to parenting and child behavior classes, seminars and workshops.

1- Misbehavior so minor that it is better handled by means such as warning, reprimand, brief time out, 24 hour or less grounding, or loss of a privilege for no more than 1 day.  Consequences and, rarely, referrals to a Commissioner are only imposed for this level if was a downgrade from a higher level for mitigating or age reasons. As with level 0, if deemed appropriate, complaining party can be issued mandatory referrals to parenting and child behavior classes, seminars and workshops.

2 - Misbehavior not classifiable at a higher or lower level; violation of a legislative or parent imposed curfew by 11 to 30 minutes if no other curfew violations in past 2 months. Consequences and, rarely, referrals to a Commissioner are only imposed for this level if was for mitigating or age reasons a downgrade from a higher level or there's a history of 2 or more level 2 or higher misbehaviors in the past 30 days or 3 or more in the past 60 days. If deemed appropriate, complaining party can be issued mandatory referrals to parenting and child behavior classes, seminars and workshops.

3 - Typical normal misbehaviors such as disregard of rules, failure to timely do chores or homework; violation of a legislative or parent imposed curfew by 31 to 60 minutes if no other curfew violations occurred in past 3 months.

4 - Disrespect, defiance, behavior dangerous to self or others other than bullying of any kind; misdemeanors not involving either weapons, serious injury to others, assault or battery.  Also includes violations of a legislative or parent imposed curfew not qualifying for level 2 or 3; if a repeat offense, these curfew violations are considered disrespect and defiance and incur the additional penalties for those behaviors. (Note: use of a firearm in commission of a delinquent act or the use of another weapon that results in injury to any person is a felony.  Possession or display of weapons without using in a delinquent act is generally a misdemeanor except for in some but not all cases, firearms; consult individual state laws for clarification.)

5 - Bullying without violence, victim injury or victim emotional harm; truancy; misdemeanor delinquent acts involving weapons, assault or battery.

6 -  Bullying with any combination of violence, victim injury or victim emotional harm; felony delinquent acts not involving weapons, injury to others, assault or battery; misdemeanor delinquent acts causing serious injury to others.

7 - Felony delinquent acts involving weapons other than firearms, assault or battery.

8 - Felony delinquent acts involving injury to others other than acts involving a firearm.

9 - Used for upgrade of severity level due to aggravating circumstances.

10 - Felony delinquent acts involving firearms without injury to others.

11 - Used for upgrade of severity level due to aggravating circumstances.

12 - Felony delinquent acts involving firearms with injury to others; injury does not have to be caused by firearm.

13, 14 & 15 - Used for upgrade of severity level due to aggravating circumstances.

Age related mitigating circumstances: for physical ages 5 to 7 reduce severity levels 2 to 5 by 1; reduce levels 6 and higher to level 5.  For ages 8 to 12, reduce severity levels 7 to 9 by 1 and levels 10 to 12 by 2.  For ages 13 and 14 reduce severity levels 10 to 12 by 1.

Other mitigating circumstances: except for delinquent acts, in previous 3 months no level 3 or lower misbehaviors (before downgrade) or only level 1 misbehaviors, reduce by 1 severity level.

Calculate each type of mitigating circumstance separately and reduce accordingly; this means, for example, that for ages 5 to 7 for level 2 to 5 misbehavior a reduction of up to 2 severity levels is possible. Regardless of age, severity level cannot be reduced to 0; assign these cases to level 1.

Age related aggravating circumstances: for physical ages 17 and 18, increase severity level by 1; for physical ages 19 and 20, increase severity level by 2.

Other aggravating circumstances:  for each previous instance of same behavior (not severity level) in previous 2 months, increase severity level 1 per instance.  For 3 or more level 3 or higher misbehavior instances in past 45 days or 4 or more instances of level 3 or higher misbehavior in previous 3 months increase severity level by a total of 1per instance up to 2 levels.  Do not combine both of these aggravating circumstances; if both are applicable, use the one that results in the greater increase in level.  (Note: 4 or more level 2 or higher misbehavior instances within a 45 day period or 3 or more level 3 or higher misbehavior instances in a 90 day period may indicate a need for a Commissioner's proceeding and Discipline Order.)

Calculate each type of aggravating circumstance separately and increase accordingly; this means, for example, that a 19 year old with 3 or more level 3 or higher misbehaviors (other than for same behavior) in past 90 days will be increased 4 levels, 2 for age and 2 for the multiple misbehaviors.

Maximum severity level by age: for ages 5 to 7, severity level cannot exceed 5.  For ages 8 to 12 severity level cannot exceed 10.  For ages 13 and 14 severity level cannot exceed 12.  For ages 15 and older, severity level cannot exceed 15.

 It is crucial to understand that child discipline proceedings are not judicial in nature, they are purely administrative.  That's why the system uses "child" instead of "juvenile" and terms like consequences instead of sanctions or sentences. When either police or Child Discipline Enforcement Officers take control of a child for transport to a discipline center, the child is not under arrest or in custody or considered detained, rather they're under "disciplinary control" of the officer or officers.

Police and Discipline officers can take children under disciplinary control for transport to the nearest open CDAC for misdemeanor criminal type behavior, status offenses involving curfew, alcohol, or tobacco, non-compliance with a consequence or discipline order and for resisting the efforts of a parent, school or other person with authority over them to take them to a CDAC.  Further, in the United States, the law stipulates that a child under disciplinary control for reasonable cause to believe the child engaged in non-compliance with a consequence or discipline order, resistance to being taken to a CDAC, or a delinquent act and children admitting to behavior under CDAC jurisdiction must immediately become nude, if not already so, and be transported to the CDAC naked. Other than children already under a consequence or discipline order, these are the only children who arrive at a CDAC already naked. If a child required to do so either before transport or at a CDAC after issuance of a consequence or discipline Order doesn't willingly cooperate in stripping naked, his or clothing can be removed by any means necessary including ripping or cutting off. 

If a child is taken under disciplinary control for resistance or the child's clothing has to be forcibly removed either in the field or at the CDAC, this is considered defiance and disrespect of authority resulting in a mandatory increase of 2 levels over what otherwise would be imposed, with the minimal level being 6 since the normal defiance and disrespect level is 4, as discussed above. All the additional penalties, as discussed later in this document, for defiance, disrespect or bullying apply.

Upon arrival at a CDAC, if a consequence order is issued, prior to his or her spanking, the naked child is placed in an open to the public (with purchased ticket) display area for a period of time equal to 10 minutes multiplied by adjusted severity level, with a maximum period of 20 minutes for ages 5-7, 45 minutes for ages 8-9, 60 minutes for ages 10-12, 75 minutes for ages 13-15, and 90 minutes for ages 16 and up.  These ages are physical age, not disciplinary age.  After this display time, children are taken to what has become known as a Painatorium to receive their spanking.  Painatoriums are with purchased ticket open to the public small auditoriums with up to 12 rows of seats with a maximum of 250 seats.  Many CDACs have more than one Painatorium; those in heavily populated areas may have up to six, and in some very large cities, as many as eight. After the spanking, the child is again placed in the display area for the same amount of time as for his or her pre-spanking display time.

Children can be brought to CDACs by parents, school authorities familiar with the school related misbehavior, or under disciplinary control of an enforcement or police officer.  When a school or officer transports a child, parents must be notified as soon as possible, preferably before the child's arrival at the CDAC.  If a parent can reach the CDAC in a reasonable time, typically within 1 hour of child's arrival, processing will be delayed until parent is on scene.  Parents need not be present for imposition and carrying out of consequence orders; they must be present for all evaluations, proceedings, and hearings related to discipline orders.  Upon completion of any CDAC imposed spanking and display time, a parent or school official, as appropriate for time of day and case, must take custody of the child; children will be held at the CDAC nude in an open to public viewing waiting area until such custody is effectuated.  Parents who unduly or unreasonably delay taking custody of their child can and usually are prosecuted for criminal child neglect.

The United States determined that the primary spanking implement to be used was a soft initiation leather six tailed martinet.  This martinet was chosen as, depending on strength of stoke, it produces a moderate to intense stinging sensation without causing damage other than reddening the buttocks and at higher durations or strength, possible mild to moderate bruising. 

This characteristic allows when appropriate for severity of the misbehavior the imposing of a high number of strokes without imparting serious injury.

Key to overall severity of spankings is the child's assigned discipline age. Discipline age is determined by what age in terms of years and 4 months most closely matches for the child's sex the 50th percentile for the child's actual height and weight; children are nude for these measurements, which are done at an open to public viewing station near the CDAC's public entrance.  If there's an age difference between height and weight percentiles, the weight age is used whether it's higher or lower; this puts overweight kids at a distinct disadvantage.

The spanking machines are calibrated so a stroke delivered at 90% of the machine's maximum force is equivalent to what most people would consider being slightly less than hard.  Strokes delivered at 50% of maximum force approximate a moderate spanking, strokes delivered at 10% of maximum equate to a mild spanking.  This calibration allows for safe imposition of a high number of spanks, such as 70 for a discipline age 14 child at severity level 5 or 112 for a discipline age 16 child at level 7.  Additionally, severity of strokes are determined by child's discipline age starting at 10% of maximum for age 5 and increasing in 5% increments for each age past 5.  This scale results in 8 year olds receiving strokes at 25% of maximum force, 13 year olds at 50% and 18 year olds at 75% of maximum.  Physical age instead of discipline age is used for 19 and 20 year olds.

Severity of spankings is determined by three factors: assigned adjusted severity level of the behavior, child's discipline age, and strength of strokes as determined by child's discipline age. The number of strokes is determined by multiplying the child's disciplinary age by the child's assessed severity level for the behavior leading to the issuance of the consequence or discipline order.  Starting at severity level 3, the martinet also delivers genital spanks and anal spanks each equal in number to the severity level. The genital spanks are delivered at 60% of the force of the child's buttocks spanks.

For behaviors involving disrespect, defiance, bullying, or delinquent acts (violation of law that would be a crime if done by an adult) the number of martinet anal spanks doubles and the spanking includes cane strokes equal to 3 more than the severity level and additional anal and genital spanks each equal to assigned severity level. These additional anal and genital spanks, separate from those with the martinet, are delivered with special anal and genital imitation horsehide straps; the canings are delivered by a plastic imitation cane designed with features to cause slight skin penetration of slightly more than 1/32 of an inch, very visible dark red or purple welts, and to maximize burn and sting.

For their spankings, children are secured lying on their back on a purpose build spanking bed, similar in design to a physician's examination table.  The child is face up with feet secured in widely spaced stirrups positioned high enough to force the child's buttocks completely up in the air and off the table.  A wide strap positioned just below the breast area secures the child's arms and chest to the bed.  This position leaves the child's spread wide apart bottom facing the audience, with anus and genitals clearly visible.  This position was adopted as the worldwide CDAC standard because of the high level of embarrassment, humiliation and sense of vulnerability caused the child and the easy accessibility to those areas to be chastised.

Above the table a very large high definition monitor faces the audience.  The left third displays a close up of the child's face; the other two-thirds display a close up of the child's exposed buttocks, anus, and genitals.  Below the monitor, a digital countdown display lists the child's name, physical age, discipline age, type of order issued; reason for the order, assigned spanking methods and assigned strokes for each method.

All spanking implements come in five sizes and weights, to appropriately accommodate different size children and for the genital straps, different sized genitals.  For the martinet, anal strap, cane, and for girls the genital strap, size is based on the child's assigned discipline age: kindergarten for ages 5-7, pee wee for ages 8-11, juvenile for ages 12-14, junior for ages 15-17, and youth for ages 18-20.  For boys, the 5 genital strap sizes correspond to the child's Tanner Sexual Maturity Rating: kindergarten for SMR 1, pee wee for SMR 2, juvenile for SMR 3, junior for SMR 4, and youth for SMR 5.  (On the Sexual Maturity Rating scale SMR stage 1 is pre-pubertal, SMR stage 5 is a child at or final or near his or her final adult genital size for boys and adult breast size for girls.).

Under certain circumstances, supplemental pain techniques using specially designed dildos and hot seats can be used except for child physical age 5 to 7.  Disciplinary dildos are designed to be very painful upon insertion, and to remain painful while inserted.  For any given child, dildos are used that are close to the maximum size that can be inserted without causing injury other than pain and possibly some anal bruising.  Sizes range in 1/8 inch diameter increments from 5/8 inch to 1-7/8 inches.  Consequence orders for behavior assigned level 6 or above before any upgrade or downgrade for aggravating or mitigating circumstances always include a dildo consequence. This consequence requires daily insertions equal to the final adjusted for aggravating or mitigating circumstances severity level but not to exceed 8 or be less than 3 per day.  Duration of each insertion is equal in minutes to the child's adjusted severity level.  For violation of any consequence or discipline order and for any case in which they can issue a community property or sexual humiliation order (discussed further below) commissioners can include a dildo component.  At their discretion this can be for between 3 to 8 times per day, but cannot be less than could be imposed for the behavior level, if any, of the behavior that ultimately resulted in issuance of the discipline order.  Length of time of insertion is also at the Commissioner's discretion, but like insertions, cannot be less than could be imposed for the underlying behavior level, if any and in no case can exceed 30 minutes. Dildos can be mounted on specially designed seats to accommodate situations, such as in school, where the child needs to remain seated.

For cases where it's desirable to encourage cooperation between several children, such as siblings where each is under a discipline order for constantly squabbling and arguing with each other, special dildos designed to be worn by several children at the same time can be used.  These come in 2, 3 and 4 person models with interchangeable prongs to safely accommodate the proper size thickness for each child.  Commissioners can mandate use of multi-person models for up to 4 times a day and for up to 45 minutes each time.  Children subject to these quickly learn that the more they cooperate with each other in coordinating movements and actions, the less painful it is for each of them.

Hot seats are designed to rapidly heat to a temperature just a few degrees below burning. The area of the seat to be heated and the seat's sliding back and side plates are all adjustable to ensure a snug fit and that only the child's entire bare bottom, but not any other body area, is heated to a painful but not scalding temperature.  Commissioners must order these seats to be used in cases of bullying with any combination of violence, victim injury or victim emotional harm. Except for extraordinary mitigating circumstances, they also almost always order their use in felony delinquent cases.  At their discretion, Commissioners can order their use for the most serious grade of delinquent misdemeanor behavior and for violations of court, consequence, or discipline orders.  They cannot be used in any case not mentioned above, such as a lack of self discipline case or a status offense, unless it involves violation of an order.  Commissioners can order children to use the seats up to 3 times a day for a maximum of 20 minutes per time.

All consequence and discipline orders include a specified number of nudity days.  For nudity time, a day is the 24 hour period starting at 7:00 a.m. on a calendar day and ending at 7:00 a.m. the next calendar day.  For consequence orders, nudity time is for the number of days equal to the assigned severity level plus the remainder of the day on which the order was issued.  For disrespect, defiance, bullying and delinquent acts nudity time doubles to twice the number of days equal to the severity level plus the remainder of day order was issued.  For discipline orders, the initial nudity time ranges between 7 and 90 days, as follows:

Status offense - legislative imposed curfew violation less than 20 minutes: 0 days

Status offense - legislative imposed curfew violation 20 or more minutes: 7 days

Delinquent act - infraction or lowest level misdemeanor: 7 days

For Discipline Orders related to a persistent lack of self discipline causing the child to repeatedly fail to do what is expected by society or to do what is necessary to succeed at personal goals and for lack of self confidence, the initial period of 45 days can based on circumstances be reduced to 30 days.  For all Discipline Orders, if necessary to achieve the goals of the order, anytime after issuance of the initial order more days can be added in whatever increment deemed necessary.  Addition days can continue to be added until it's determined by the commissioner that the child has developed sufficient self discipline or self confidence.  Including added time, the maximum nudity period is 5 months for other than felony delinquent acts and 9 months for felony delinquent acts.

In formulating the Initiative, great care was taken to avoid creating a result in which either too few or too many children would be nude on any given day or on average children were nude an excessive number of days. If too few children are nude at any one time, the program jeopardizes public acceptance of disciplinary nudity as being the standard. It also loses its deterrent value since children perceive public nudity as being a very unlikely consequence for their misbehavior.  Too many children nude on an average day or for an excessive number of days results in children perceiving public nudity as the new normal for them and that no matter what they do, good or bad, more days than not they're going to be naked, embarrassed, humiliated and spanked.  Under those circumstances, they won't see avoiding public nudity and the other CDAC consequences as a deterrent to misbehavior and undisciplined actions.

Research revealed a range likely to be the most effective. Target for the primary CDAC audience of ages 10 to 17 is 6% of boys and 3% of girls each day with percentages varying by age. With younger and older children added to the mix the overall percentage drops somewhat. The precise percentage by age and sex, along with other data, is in a table at the end of this document.  The range is from less than 0.1% for 5 year old girls to 7.4% for 13 year old boys with the other ages between those limits.  As the table shows, at an average of 24 days per child, the average highest number of days per year nude is also for 13 year old boys. Bear in mind that the numbers in the table statistics are averages only measured across each specified age; some children will have higher numbers, some lower, and some in any one year period will have no CDAC referrals at all and thus 0 nudity days.

Another method utilized to keep nudity levels effective is to limit CDAC referrals.  As discussed above, generally referrals cannot be made for less than level 3 behaviors.  Level 3 misbehaviors require 2 or more previous level 2 or higher misbehavior instances in past 45 days or 3 or more instances in previous 3 months. Level 4 behaviors that meet the mitigating circumstance criteria for downgrade to level 3 can only be referred if they satisfy the requirements for a level 3 referral.

To assist in limiting referrals to appropriate cases, sometime between reaching age 5 and starting kindergarten a computerized child discipline record is established for each child; this is maintained in a secure nationwide database that can accessed by CDACs and police worldwide and by the child's parents and school; schools are limited to accessing school related behaviors. Parents are encouraged to visit any nearby CDAC or elementary school as soon possible after the child's fifth birthday to set up the record.  The CDAC or school visit is necessitated by the need to scan the child's right index finger.  This scan is used to identify the child and bring up his or her discipline record when brought to a CDAC for possible issuance of an order.  The scan can also be used by schools to identify children, for example to ensure the correct child reports to detention or to take a placement test and to access school records; by health care providers to access a child's computerized health record; and by enforcement and police officers when they need to identify a child for any reason, such as recovery of a lost, missing or injured child or to access when appropriate for the case a child's discipline record and when permissible by law, their juvenile court records. As the child grows and matures, this finger scan is periodically retaken to allow for shape, size and pattern changes.

If a discipline record has not yet been set up when the child is enrolled for kindergarten, it is at that time.  Once the record is established, parents can access it from any internet enabled device by using the user friendly access website or a free app.  Parents are encouraged to enter all instances of misbehavior not entered into the system by others such as schools, police or CDACs and to enter the details, including frequency, of behavior indicating a possible need for a discipline order for persistent lack of self discipline or self confidence.  Entering this data assists greatly in ensuring the proper level consequence order is issued and in determining if issuance of a discipline order is indicated.

Each time a parent enters a behavior, the system will indicate if the criteria for CDAC referral is met or not and if a discipline order is indicated.  For behavior at level 3 or below before downgrade, for the first 2 instances in a year meeting referral criteria, the parent, unless there is school or police involvement, can decide not to bring the child to a CDAC for an order.  Failure to bring the child for a third or subsequent level 3 behavior in a year or for any level 4 or higher behavior or when a discipline order is indicated subjects the parent to potential prosecution for misdemeanor criminal child neglect.

Any person bringing a child to a CDAC 2 or more times in a year or 3 or more times in a 2 year period when CDAC referral criteria for a consequence or discipline order is not met also subjects themselves to potential child neglect charges. For purposes of the provisions pertaining to neglect, if both parents reside with each other, they are treated as if one person; this is to prevent an unfair doubling of exempt instances.

Children who violate any portion of their consequence or discipline order are subject to additional consequences.  A violation occurs anytime a child fails to cooperate in undergoing any consequence or doing any action required by the order, any time the child refuses or fails to do any action required by the order, regardless of cause and anytime the child attempts in any manner to cover his or her genitals, buttocks, or breasts.

As part of the humiliation and embarrassment process, it is a standard CDAC policy and a CDI rule that when children are under a consequence or discipline order that their now no longer private parts are referred to by the common slang words as are girls' breasts. It is completely sociably acceptable and expected to call those body parts by words such as dick, cock, prick, balls, pussy, tits and boobs.  Even childish euphemisms such as willy and birdie for the penis and kitty for the vulva are encouraged for their embarrassment potential.

Under specified circumstances, children can be declared public property.  Public property children can be touched anywhere on their body, especially genitals, buttocks, and breasts, by parents, any adult in authority over the child such as teachers, coaches, police, CDAC personnel, any person the child's parent or person in authority give permission to, siblings regardless of age, and any child under age 19.  These specified people may touch those parts anyway they want, for as long as they want, anywhere they want, in front of whomever they want.  Assessment Officers impose community property for behavior involving disrespect, defiance, bullying, or delinquent acts; they cannot impose this consequence for other behaviors.

As provided by law, except for status offenses involving curfew violations and persistent runaways subject to commissioner jurisdiction for failure to comply or cooperate with treatment, counseling or placement, commissioners other than for extraordinary mitigating conditions always include being community property in their discipline orders.

During their before and after spanking display time, all children are community property whether or not under a community property consequence. By law, during their display time all children, even if not community property can be touched and handled by anyone in attendance, including those who ordinarily cannot touch community property children.  Primary purpose of this is to reinforce to the on display children not community property how much worse they could have it if they continue to engage in inappropriate behaviors or fail to develop self discipline or confidence.

The standard, but not required, manner for those permitted to touch children under a community property order to greet such children is to shake the penises of boys 5 to 8 times and to use one hand to rub up and down their vulvas and the other hand to rub the breasts of girls, giving a total of 5 to 8 rubs to each body area.

Forced masturbation consequences are required to be issued by Assessment Officers for all behaviors for which they must issue a community property consequence, i.e., for disrespect, defiance, bullying, or delinquent acts; they cannot impose this consequence for other behaviors. Commissioners must also include this in any discipline order arising out those behaviors; they may, but are not required to, include it in any other order that includes a community property component.  Under a forced masturbation consequence, parents, any adult in authority and siblings can order the child to masturbate to orgasm, regardless of who's watching or where they are. Number of times required to masturbate per day is set to equal the assigned severity level, additional times can be added as a penalty for not cooperating at any stage of the disciplinary or consequence process.  Maximum times in a day cannot exceed seven; to facilitate the multiple masturbations in a day, the child is usually under an additional condition to take an appropriate disciplinary drug intended to increase frequency and duration of sexual arousals.

Under certain circumstances, commissioners can include in a discipline order a requirement that up to 3 times a day the child engage in oral sex with other children under a similar order.  Commissioners generally use this option for a second or subsequent violation of a court, consequence or discipline order and for children issued a discipline order within 15 months of being issued a previous discipline order.  They are required by law to always impose this condition for bullying with any combination of violence, victim injury or victim emotional harm and for felony delinquent acts involving weapons, injury to others, or assault or battery. They may include it for other felony delinquent acts and for misdemeanor delinquent acts causing serious injury to others.  If under a forced masturbation order, the daily number of required masturbations is reduced by the number of required daily oral sex sessions.  An oral sex order cannot be issued for any situation not listed in this paragraph and cannot be issued for children physical age 5 to 7.

For all orgasms, no matter who caused the orgasm or the reason, the child must loudly announce "I'm cumming."  This announcement is a requirement of all orders, not just those with community property, forced masturbation, or other sexual humiliation components.   This means, for example, a child under a standard level 3 consequence level without any sexual components who masturbates in the privacy of his or her own bedroom must proclaim any resultant orgasm loudly enough for everyone who's awake in the house to hear.

Various disciplinary dugs are used in conjunction with the Child Discipline Initiative, except for physical ages 5 to 7.  Puermax for boys and Puellamax for girls cause the child to be in a very noticeable state of sexual arousal for approximately 13.5 hours of the 15 continuous hours that the daily dose is effective.  During the 15 hour period the child will experience between 5 and 9 periods of non-arousal, each ranging in duration from 10 to 20 minutes with total non-arousal time of approximately 90 minutes.  Both drugs increase sensitively and responsiveness to sexual stimulation; some children had been known to occasionally reach orgasm simply by a strong breeze or by vigorous physical activity.  The two drugs also increase the number of orgasms a child can achieve in a day and noticeably lessen the interval needed between orgasms, with the most dramatic effect being among ejaculatory pubertal boys. Puermax and Puellamax differ from drugs intended to treat erectile dysfunction in that the two disciplinary drugs produce an almost continuous period of arousal for a prolonged period of time.  By contrast, erectile dysfunction drugs do not normally caused prolonger arousal; rather, they allow the person to reach arousal when, as one advertisement puts it, "the mood is right."  Assessment Officers are required to order the use of Puermax or Puellamax for any behavior involving disrespect, defiance, bullying, or delinquent acts; they cannot impose this consequence for other behaviors. Commissioners can order use of the drugs in any case they deem their use helpful in achieving the goal of instilling self discipline or self confidence. 

Pubertrol and Pubregress were developed from the early onset puberty treatment drug Puberhalt. As the name implies, Puberhalt stops further pubertal development in children suffering from early onset puberty, a condition commonly known as precious puberty.  Strict government regulations, medical association standards, and manufacture's guidelines all mandate that when a child on Puberhalt is at the 65th percentile for sexual development for the child's age and sex, the drug be discontinued so puberty can resume its course.  Of particular interest to the researchers developing the disciplinary equivalents was the repeatedly observed phenomenon that Puberhalt almost always caused a very small decrease in a child's height and weight, in a boy's genital size, and a girl's breast size.  The developers wanted to very much enhance these size reduction characteristics and ultimately succeeded in doing so.

Pubertrol-DB for boys and Pubertrol-DG for girls revert children at Tanner Sexual Maturity Rating stage 2 (early puberty) back to stage 1 (pre-puberty.)  The drugs prevent children naturally at stage 1 children and children reverted to stage 1 from stage 2 from any pubertal progression and from any growth of genitals for boys and breasts for girls.  Pubertrol tends to make a boy's genitals and a girl's breasts about 5% smaller than the last time they were at stage 1.  The drugs also make children 1% to 2% smaller in height and weight than immediately before being put on the drug. It takes 2 to 5 days for Pubertrol to achieve full regression and final size reduction, with the average being 3 days.

Pubregress, available in DB form for boys and DG for girls, is intended for stage 3, stage 4, and those stage 5 children who are still developing toward their final full adult genital size for boys and breast size for girls.  Like Pubertrol, the two drugs regresses the child back to stage 1 and prevents the child from achieving any pubertal progression and from any growth of genitals for boys and breasts for girls.  Pubertrol tends to make a boy's genitals and a girl's breasts about 10% smaller than the last time they were at stage 1. The drugs also make children 2 to 3% smaller in height and weight than immediately before being put on the drug. It takes 3 to 8 days for Pubertrol to achieve full regression and final size reduction, with the average being 3 days for stage 3, 4 days for stage 4, and 5 days for stage 5.

Assessment Officers are required to order the use of Pubertrol or Pubregress for any behavior involving bullying with any combination of violence, victim injury or victim emotional harm; felony delinquent acts involving weapons, injury to others, assault or battery; and misdemeanor delinquent acts that cause serious injury to others. They cannot impose this consequence for other behaviors. In any situation in which they issue a community property order, commissioners can order use of Pubertrol and Pubregress if they feel its use will help in achieving the goal of instilling self discipline or self confidence.

Whether naturally or through regression, children at stage 1 are always devoid of pubic and underarm hair and only achieve dry orgasms. Once off Pubertrol or Pubregress, children's height and weight growth, pubic and underarm hair development, ability to reach wet orgasms, boys genital growth and girls breast growth proceed about twice as fast as when they were first put on the drug until reaching the size and development level they would have been at for their current age if they hadn't been regressed.

In colder weather, to avoid nude children from suffering hyperthermia or frostbite, special nanotechnology clothing items and accessories were developed to generate around the child a heat shield of between 68 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit or 20 to 24 degrees Celsius, depending on outside temperature. These items contain numerous nanotechnology cells that interact with the body's galvanic energy and surface chemistry to produce heat.

The preferred and most commonly used heat producing item is a set of nanotech bands. The set consists of 2 thin 1/4 inch wide bands positioned slightly above the elbow, 2 bands each 3/16 inch wide worn around the wrist in similar fashion to a watchband, a 1/2 inch band worn just below the breast area, and 4 bands 3/8 inch wide with 2 of these worn around the upper thighs and 2 around the lower calves about 2 to inches above the ankles.  All bands except for the right wrist use hook and loop fasteners to permit adjusting fit and easy removal; additionally, bands come in 5 sizes.  These bands in all directions radiate heat a little more than 1.5 inches out from the child's body; the band beneath the breast area radiates far enough to keep both breasts warm.  The bands are effective in weather as low as 25 degrees Fahrenheit or -4 degrees Celsius.

For weather at temperatures lower than the bands can handle and for moderate to heavy snow and cold rain, special clear see through ponchos can be worn.  The bands are worn inside the ponchos, many models have the bands embedded; the ponchos also include additional nanotech cells to generate additional heat.  As with the bands, the ponchos generate a 68 to 75 degree heat shield, depending on outside temperature.  All ponchos leave the genitals, buttocks, and breasts uncovered to provide easy access; the heat shield extends out sufficient distance to keep these exposed areas warm.

The right wrist band is always worn; it includes a microchip containing the details of the child's consequence or discipline order, including any modifications made for violations of the order.  Using a free app, these chips can be read by any device equipped with an infrared reader. These bands are red and are marked with color stripes and lettering to indicate what consequences the child is under; yellow with the letter "N" for nudity, blue (cyan) with letter "C" for community property, purple with a "M" for public masturbation, orange with an "O" for oral sex, green with "PM" for Puermax and Puellamax, and black with "PR" for Pubertrol and Pubregress. The band is also imprinted with the last day the child's order is in effect.  Whenever the child's consequences are modified, the child is issued an updated band and microchip reflecting those changes.  Once fitted, these right wrist bands and microchips can only be removed by a CDAC using a special tool.

Funding for the Initiative, the various agencies and the CDACs come from various sources.  A small percentage, .25%, of federal and state income taxes is dedicated to child discipline funding.  The federal government, and most states impose a 1% sales tax on discipline related merchandise purchased by consumers; these include spanking implements, punishment dildos, nanotech clothing items, books and videos on child discipline, and professionally produced videos depicting  actual CDAC spankings and display time as well as in public community property and sexual humiliations.  (Children appearing in these videos, and their families, receive compensation.)  CDACs charge admission roughly equivalent to the price of a cinema ticket for access to Painatoriums and display areas; teens and children are charged reduced rates. Tickets are valid for a particular Painatorium within the issuing CDAC and, depending on time of day and day of week for a 2, 3 or 4 hour session.  Similar to modern multiplex cinemas, session start times are staggered among a CDAC's Painatoriums to keep wait times for next available session as short as possible. (Family members of children being spanked or on display are admitted free to Painatoriums and display areas.)  CDACs also sell annual passes; these passes are for any CDAC within a specified area, usually the judicial district where the CDAC is located.  At a higher price than the local pass, passes can be bought valid for any CDAC in the state, and for an even higher price for  any CDAC in the country.  All CDACs also operate shops selling all the merchandise subject to the 1% discipline item sales tax as well as associated items.  (Nanotech items, dildos and other items required for a particular order are loaned to the parents free of charge; parents may elect to purchase their own, usually upgraded, versions.)  Additional funding comes from dedicating approximately 50% of the savings in the judicial, juvenile, educational and other family serving systems resulting from the Initiative.

Notes:
Nude on any day percentages are for nudity days from both consequence and discipline orders.

Average nudity days per year are for consequence orders only.

On average, discipline orders generate 30 nudity days per order.

Ages 5 to 7 not subject to discipline orders; can only be issued consequence orders.

Ages 18 to 20 only include only those who meet the legal definition of being a child, i.e., those who have not yet graduated high school or received a certificate of equivalency.  This is approximately 67% of 18 year olds and depending on locality, 10% to 20% of 19 year olds and 5% to 10% of 20 year olds. To become an adult as soon as possible, the majority of non-graduate 19 and 20 year olds and those non-graduate 18 year olds not still in school actively work toward graduating or earning a certificate of equivalency.
