Dear Editor,

I find really, that your 'Spank and be Spanked' letters don't give imaginative answers to be applied to obstinate cases, and I really find that there are questionable overtures in many cases. Spanking proved to be really inefficient in the case of my Gerald. This is his story, and if the readers of 'Justice' get to read this letter, I should point out that I met 'Justice Weekly' for the first time a few months ago, and my methods were original as far as I knew.

When Gerald was not quite nine years old my husband, his father, died. This was an awful loss for me, as I was expecting Susan at the time, and nearly lost her. After she was born, and we were all settled at home, I decided that Gerald would not want for the type of discipline and guidance that a father usually gives.

Gerald's uncle Al, who took over the farm after my husband's passing, helped take care of this. Gerald received many well-deserved spankings for more than two years. In the second year they turned into canings, but Gerald kept doing things behind our backs in spite of them, especially in summertime when there was no school to keep him busy.

When Gerald was eleven years old, I decided that the best way to let him out in the fields without his going off with some of his mischievous playmates, was to dress him as a young girl. I bought the frillieast dresses I could find that were big enough for him, and dressed him in them.

Spankings for misbehaviour were included, but I really think it was the dresses and frilled panties which kept him under control that summer. After supper, I made him wear girls' nighties, which I had shortened nearly to his hips. All of his boys' clothes were locked away. His little ruffian friends called for him once, and when they saw him they laughed, and left. This scene was repeated with a second group which I really think were sent by the first group.

That summer Gerald's embarrassment kept him at home on the farm. The following fall, Gerald went back to school as a boy. He turned twelve, and toward the end of the school season I was horror stricken when he got into trouble with the police. In dresses this would not have happened, and I really could not forget the thought. When he returned home after a short time in a government school, he had just turned 13, and I was really determined that he wouldn't grow into an unruly teenager. I was prepared, and at the first occasion of disobedience I sent for his uncle, who knew of my plans, and had agreed to help.

I put Gerard into baby didees, baby doll pajamas, and put him to bed. Of course he tried to remove everything, but we tied his hands to the bed. We removed all his ordinary clothes to a locked chest, and by the end of that summer, being sometimes spanked, or deprived of food unless spoon or bottle fed like a baby, and having Tyrol leather shorts locked at the waist over his baby didees and baby panties eventually made him resigned to this form of discipline.

I really think that we should have kept him in those clothes permanently, and that we would have had no more problems of discipline, but when the school season started we sent him in his regular clothes. By comparison Gerald was quite good for the next couple of years, but, just as a reminder, I kept him in his baby didees on weekends until long after his 15th birthday. I really think that if I had kept this up permanently, all would have been well, but after his 16th birthday discipline was needed again for a dishonest act.

I removed him from school and, though he was a good pupil, I kept him out. I really think that it was his friends at school who caused the trouble, and so I was determined to fix it so that his friends would have nothing to do with him. Again with his uncle's help I dressed him as a baby, and, with the
co-operation of his first sister, fed him and treated him as a baby. He had to wear his baby didees and baby panties for long periods without changing, with the result that they were usually wet. At 16 he was prevented from removing them by the leather shorts locked around his waist, but this is not necessary now. He is now twenty years of age, 5' 11'' tall, 157 lbs, and very much a baby.

His older sister and I change him, but never more than twice a day, unless for the interests of guests, or to bring his babyhood to his attention. He is so accustomed to his baby didees now that he often wets shortly after being changed. His younger sister often feeds him and puts him down for the night (sisters are 11 and 19). He wears his baby didees at all times, even while doing chores about the farm, and working in the fields. He never rebels. Being our baby has taken all the rebellion and naughtiness from him, and he accepts his state.

Fourteen months ago a sister of one of Gerald's sister's friends met him. Mary became very interested in him, and now visits two or three times a week, sometimes staying overnight. Mary is very capable as a seamstress and dressmaker. She has made countless clothes for Gerald: a baby bonnet, rompers, sun-suits, soakers, dresses, frou-frou panties, nighties, sleepers, petticoats, and a long canvas nightie with sleeves in the style of a strait jacket. She also knits, and has made a baby wool knitted helmet, jacket, and leggings for him.

Why has she done all this? Because she is in love with him. She wants to marry him, even though he is a 'baby'. Gerald knows, and he wants to marry her, but he hasn't seen all that she has made for him. I really think that he believes that his baby treatment will end when he marries, so he will get quite a surprise at what is waiting for him. He will submit because he has no choice, and under these conditions he will really never be disobedient or troublesome again. He will live close to town, and he will try to stay hidden. He will come to work at the farm and, at the end of the working day, will return home to be changed, bathed, fed, taken for his walk, given an extra bottle, and be either presented to selected guests or put down for the night.

Though Gerard may think things will change, his wife will continue to call him 'Baby Nancy', and he will continue to call her 'Nursey'. He will be really embarrassed at having to appear in his baby dresses and petticoats in front of new people, but he will obey because, where spanking and caning failed, petticoats and diapers have succeeded.
