Petticoat Junction: Betty Jo learns a lesson Part II

[alexskanda]

It wasn't that different in the sixties. I recall that as a ten year old in the UK in 1965 it was generally understood and widely accepted that any adult left in charge of you, babysitters, aunts, uncles, grandparents, your friends parents if you were in their house, would spank you if they thought you deserved it, it was expected. In those days if someone gave you a spanking and/or you got the slipper or the cane at school you didn't complain to your parents, you kept your mouth shut about it and hoped they didn't find out because they were certain to give you another one if they found out you'd been misbehaving.
