I wonder how this story would have developed if, during one of the short periods in which the victims could talk, the antagonists were told by one of their victims that, even though it may take a few years, what they were doing will result in their very painful deaths ?

Clearly this was a case of going way overboard.  The boys are in an untenable situation.  They will either lash out or flee.  Accidental betrayal by a parent is bad.  Purposeful continuous humiliation by the mother would be catastrophic as she becomes a raw force of pain and agony to his life.  This sister will be lucky if she is not murdered (out of despair) or raped (out of humiliation and an attempt to get his manhood back).  After all, he's not likely to get psychiatric care.  School is going to be of no help due to the photos.  Best case he runs away and becomes a chronic drug user and harms no one but himself.  His mother and sister will probably have 'no clue' about what went wrong; they are that heartless and uncaring.

The four young boys, if they don't drift apart in a state of depression and suicide will start running together as a woman-hating band of thugs - schoolgirls beware because this time they will be more numerous, stronger and faster and equally pitiless.

To add to the tragedy, when all that the boys were subjected to by their female aquaintences comes up at the trial, they will probably get minimal sentences for their ghastly crimes.

Punishment way beyond the crime!  And, while the girls are pretty bad, Matron and Mom are the main sadists. This is Fiona's exchange with the headmistress:

"Oh yes Miss Winthrop' said Fiona. 'And is it true that we can do anything we like with them as long as there's NO PHYSICAL PAIN OR DANGER involved?'
'Absolutely' laughed the headmistress.

Yet the girls put them under the heat with the plastic raincovers over them WITH THE VENT HOLES TAPED. If that isn't dangerous, I don't know what is; just asking for heatstroke. And Matron not only allows the girls to do what she knows will cause painful diaper rash, she herself increases that pain with heat cream. Both the girls and the matron disobey the headmistress.

Then Mom allows the punishment to continue indefinately and allows the girls to use blackmail to insure compliance.

Eventually, if they don't suicide, these boys will be men, bigger than the girls, and most likely woman haters.  Watch your backs bitches!

seriously sugar, are you reading the comments posted by your reviewers? The way these poor boys are treated oozes hatred and contempt. WHen you hurt someone you love, you feel in pain as well: emotional pain, and you wish it to stop.

But when you enjoy it...

well...then there is something wrong. I have to agree with "Jane Hudson" and "Someone" Damaged goods indeed. The psychological damage alone would be staggering! Not to mention the emotional trauma.

a brilliant story most enjoyable iwould like to read more of this one

i thoght the story was very well written it was very entertaining hoping this story will be added too soon keep writing

  we  this is extream punishment if it stopped here it would be better but the extended part is overboard ..mom should not allow the pictures to be shown but they could be used to threaten him if any future problems accured....liked the story ... a lot of thought went into it and you wrote very well ...
              thank you  ... Rone

Go one of many ways he could go.A total haterd of all women maybe going very bad. kill himself or lose his male self image and become a sort of if you cant beat then join them TS. The last maybe but do not think so at best when he is old enough His sister &family will never see him again ,he will never marry and become bitter and twisted maybe  drug abuse or driven to do well even if smashing other in the proccess. I think this person willbe very damaged goods.A few year time mum sis see him arested as  a rapist seiral killer! in the papaers and tv after not hearing from him for years. I know story but just a few thoughts

i thoght the story was very well written it was very entertaining how the night must have dragged for richard not to mention his freinds it brings to mind never upset your sister or her friends in case somthing like this happens to you but it is still not over another installment would not spoil this great story

Guys try to be openminded.  May not work for you, but I'm sure will work for somebody.  There's probably as many fetishes as people on earth, so don't cast stones.

Cruel and unusual punishment anyone?

Seriously, does anyone enjoy reading about this kind of thing? Let alone get off on it?

There seems to be a lot of stories where everyone has the same distorted sense of justice and penchant for humiliation. In any remotly realistic situation, at least one of the people involved would think "hey, aren´t we going just a bit overboard?"

Sorry, but this one just doesn't work for me.  First, the punishment doesn't seem to fit the crime; the boys are having physical harm done to them as punishment for property damage.  (It's not just humiliation when kids are kept for hours in an overheated environment; toddlers in closed cars die that way.)

But mostly, it's that there's nothing left for the boys to lose by continuing to submit.  This isn't "now you know what's going to happen to you if you misbehave again."  It's "and now we get to do this to you whenever we want to."  That's even creepier than the original punishment.

You suggest that the threat of the pictures being published will keep them in line and make them accept this, but that damage has already been done; someone from their school took pictures already and everyone there's going to know about it.

In the absence of anyone sympathetic to them, the boys' options aren't good: running away, upping the balance of terror by doing more calculated damage, going to the police themselves (in the U.S. at least, those photos would give them a pretty good case against the mother, sister and school authorities for child abuse, regardless of the provocation).  But subjecting themselves to that kind of punishment indefinitely until their tormentors get tired of it isn't any better an alternative.
