Rule 35 for approved schools says that six strokes is the maximum permitted for boys aged under 15. Thanks for including Ryan on the receiving end – good to see some slightly older hunky guys put in their place – especially by Rich. Would like to see James Holt put in his place again soon.

We are not prepared to comment on these pictures without an opportunity to investigate their authenticity. As at least one, however, appears to suggest punishment in excess of that permitted under the Approved School Rules, we urge you in the interests of all concerned to name the approved school so that an immediate investigation can be carried out."Trying to turn them into citizens is heart-breaking work.
