I am familiar with the concept of diaper punishment/discipline (in which a person with normal bladder/bowel control is forced to wear and/or use diapers) as an activity that takes place between consenting adults in a BD/SM relationship.
which claims that diaper discipline is a form of punishment that is sometimes inflicted on minor children by their parent or guardian, the idea being to shame/humiliate unruly children into behaving themselves. The author goes on to describe in great detail how such diaper discipline is typically conducted. The logistics of it all seem somewhat implausible, and the details he describes sound like they were lifted straight out of the elaborate fantasies of an ABDL. Moreover, I have a hard time imagining that a parent would think that punishment like this would be a good idea.
OTOH, I have a hard time imagining that a parent would think it’s a good idea to beat their child to death – but that seems to happen with depressing regularity. So it seems anything is possible.
What’s the straight dope? Is diaper punishment of minor children a real thing that occurs with any notable frequency?
Yikes. Unfortunately, clicking around on the links leads me to believe that it is indeed a form of punishment used by some parents. Honestly, it seems far more cruel than a simple swat with a paddle…
Reading the linked site actually reminded me a lot of the Greek movie Dogtooth (available instantly on Netflix), about a family whose near-adult children have been isolated in their country estate from birth. It’s sort of an exploration of how cruel parents can be to their children in the name of keeping them safe from “bad influences.”
I have no idea if this is a real punishment or not, but I sadly believe it probably is. People are nuts.
The Internet continues to expose me to things I could never even come up with, and yet there seems to always be a group of people into every/any bizarre behavior that people can think of.
I wonder what I do that other people would think is bizarre? :dubious:
Are you talking about the consensual BD/SM activity, or the punishment of non-consenting children? If the former, well, I’m pretty bizarre myself, but there’s a ton of stuff out there that exceeds even my own creativity. The rule 34 meme (“if you can imagine it, there is porn of it”) only exists because there are people that actually do (or think about doing) those things. It’s a big world, and there are a lot of very creative and open-minded people out there.
Possibly nothing - in which case all the weirdos just think you’re “vanilla.”
Of course I’m not referring to consenting adults. They can do whatever they want to each other even if I may not understand the appeal. I’m talking about the abuse heaped on a non-consenting child.
People ARE more creative than I can conceive sometimes, and when it comes to stuff like this, there always seem to be at least two people that enjoy something off the path of what most people consider normal… And they somehow find each other.
But as long as the two people are adults and consent to the behavior, it’s none of my business. As long as it doesn’t hurt anyone else, and as long as the behavior itself isn’t causing death to someone else ( or breaking a law somehow ), I say have at it. If you want to wear diapers and soil yourself, go right ahead. How that would excite someone is beyond me, but it’s really not my business. Maybe those folks don’t understand how I like a woman to wear lingerie. To each his own.
I came across this news story recently: Fridley mother gets jail in daughter’s diaper incident. A mother shaved her 12-year old daughter’s head and made her run outside in a diaper because the daughter got a failing grade at school. Neighbors saw the incident and called police.
First, i am sorry yiu ever had to put up with this. How bizarre, not only to do it to you, but to have the older boys hold you down.
Secomd, how were you able to see your mother again after that without taking a baseball bat to her head. I notice you never used the word “mother” so my guess is you dont have any respect for this nut. But still, I dont get how parents do this to their kids and dont meet their end that same night. There is only so mich abuse a person can take.
Ok, how about a nice shove from the top of the stairs? Or how about soaking good old mom in bed with gasoline and tossing a match?
Hey, my childhood was no picnic, but i wasnt held down by all my older siblings buck naked to the world while they wrapped a diaper on me and watched me piss myself for sport. I imagine that could cause a different kind of damage than, say washing ones mouth out with soap.
Sorry, child abuse does not play with me, and therefore the abusers deserve any and all punishment they get. I understsnd most children her age wouldnt smack their parents in the head with a bat. If they did, a lot less sexual abuse would go on… So i’ m not blaming her. I just think if a person went through something like what was described, i would take care of ol’ mom… Even if i didnt kill her, i’d get her back. Vengeance would be mine! (if serious injury and/or death make you uncomfortable, figure out a way to humiliate the psychopath).
I’m embarrassed to admit this, but that happened to me too Cindy Marie, not the same way but I do have a memory of DD. My parents were a mix of crazy, inept and neglectful. A lot of people have it a lot worse and my parents were good material providers and they never sexually abused us, but me and my siblings all carry psychological scars from how we were raised. Two of us have decided never to have kids ourselves because we doubt we can break the cycle of neglect and shitty parenting. I really admire my older brother for being a good father, me and my other brother don’t think we could ever pull it off.
Sad truth. My father did this to my brother when he accidently wet the bed at age 5 and, at age 9, had such an overfull bladder that he couldn’t get to the bathroom on time.
The worst part about the age 9 one was that Tim’s baseball coach (and our next-door-neighbor) came over to discuss the baseball schedule with Dad and Tim at the time. Tim quickly took a huge pillow and set it firmly on his lap. He didn’t move the whole time the neighbor was there. We siblings insisted on hanging around in the room so that when the adults called for beers, Tim didn’t have to get up and display his shame.
I used to feel the same way, Wes. I was raised with a combination of Neglect followed by strictness and psychological damaging abuse, then sent to foster homes as a teenager. I was lucky enough to have been adopted by a loving couple when I was almost 16, so I had 2 years in their home to see how to be a good parent.
I am very glad to have waited until later in life before I became a father. Although I never met my daughter until she was 8 years old and she has none of my DNA, I see my mission in life as being the best father I can be, to give her the best preparation to be a successful person.
I was never forced to wear a diaper, but my father’s crazy second wife rubbed a shitty diaper in my face when her daughter crapped in it. I was about 12 years old at the time.
It is good you broke the cycle, I always find it heroic in a way when people overcome bad situations and still work on being a good person. It shows destructive cycles are not destiny and there are other ways out.
How old were you when you became a parent out of curiosity? I’m in my early 30s, and I’m thinking I’ll probably be 40 before I’m ready.
Cindy Marie, I am sorry you had such horrible experiences in your childhood. But don’t be conflicted about being a boy versus a girl. You are you and that’s okay by me.
