                                            >Parent is used to money and lawyers making everything go away

                                            >Parent tells the cop they take full responsibility for the event

                                            >A little hush money will make this disappear

                                            >No matter how much pull you have on our economy, Mr. Rich, in my courtroom, everypony is treated equally. Money doesn't excuse a bad attitude; nor is there a fine equivilent to any corporal punishment sentence. Neither in the law nor in my personal opinion are the two penalties equal.

                                            >Appeal it all you want. You have the right to go that route with your lawyer like anypony else.

                                            >The court notes that corporal punishment sentences are hardly ever overturned.

                                            >I wish you the best of luck, and I expect to see you some Moonday morning ready for your lashes in the courtyard. Whether that is this week or a year from now makes no difference to me.

                                            >I would think it better to just get it over with, but that is your decision.


                                            ...


                                            >You should be the one over there, not dad.

                                            >CRACK!

                                            >Oh Celestia, your heart!

                                            >It's already starting!?

                                            >That sounded really, really painful.

                                            >The next lash comes with a whoosh before you could even process the event mentally.

                                            >Is, is dad crying?

                                            >No way, dad never cries.

                                            >He's the strongest pony ever!

                                            >His rump is already that red!?

                                            >Mom's hoof blocks your vision.

                                            >"Don't look, you shouldn't have to see this."

                                            >It doesn't stop the sound of the lash, the sound of dad crying out in pain, sobbing pathetically from reaching your ears.

                                            >You should be the one tied to the frame there!

                                            >Your rump should be the one getting beyond roasted!

                                            >Not dad!

                                            >You so desperately want to shout.

                                            >Shout for them to stop, for them to punish you instead.

                                            >But fear freezes your limbs in place.

                                            >Try as you might, not a sound comes out of your mouth.

                                            >WHACK!

                                            >With each loud snap of the horrifying thing meeting dad's innocent rump, your heart sinks further.

                                            >Dad...

                                            >Saying sorry doesn't cut it.

                                            >This must be worse than all the punishments you've ever got. Combined!

                                            >Can you even look at him in the eye after this?

                                            >You... you can't.

                                            >You're the worst pony ever.
