CONTINUED FROM PART I
I am quite surprised to see Kimmy, a very beautiful and very bright junior, as the accused in our next case. She is not a frequent toilet offender by any means. In fact, when we last saw her at a TVPC meeting (our 12/17/10 session), she was here to present us evidence that righted a wrong in a very serious case. Even more surprising in this case is the accusation against Kimmy – that of hiding her soiled panties behind the toilet in the girls’ locker room. This is a serious offense for which the minimum punishment is a full month on toilet suspension. She also faces punishment, of course, for soiling in those panties in the first place. This would her first toilet offense of any kind this school year and the first accident offense since the 2 (one wetting, one soiling) that she did her freshman year. While it’s understandable that she’d be upset at messing in her panties, it’s hard to believe that she’d be so desperate not to get caught at it, that she’d hide her messy panties. She’s a smart girl and she’d have to know that she’d be taking an offense for which she’d only get a warning as a first time accident offender and turning it into an offense requiring a toilet suspension.
Kimmy, however, is vehemently denying her guilt. “I didn’t hide my panties behind the toilet,” she tells us, “I didn’t even mess in them in the first place – I haven’t messed in my panties since my first week of high school as a freshman.” “How can you not believe me?” she pleads, “How can you believe that I’d ever do anything so stupid – much less something so disgusting as to mess my panties in the first place?” That’s just it, Kimmy,” I explain to her, “I know that you don’t mess in your panties like a lot of girls do, but I wonder if you just panicked at having an accident and then, without really thinking, tried to hide it.” “But I didn’t mess in my panties,” she pleads again, “And then I’d have no reason to hide the panties SINCE I DIDN’T MESS IN THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE!!” I am forced to use my gavel to get her to calm down.
“I must confess that I’m a little surprised myself,” states the lovely Miss Mars, “Kimmy’s gym teacher who has filed the Violation Report against her. “But I found the soiled panties hidden behind a toilet in the girls’ locker room,” Miss Mars reports, “And when I retrieved them, they had Kimmy’s named stitched in them.” “What else am I supposed to think?” the young and lovely gym teacher asks, holding up a plastic bag containing the aforementioned panties – panties containing an enormous load of fecal matter. “What is the TVPC supposed to think?” I ask Kimmy. “I guess they could be my panties – my mom does stitch my name in all my clothes,” she acknowledges, “But I didn’t mess in them and I certainly didn’t hide them behind the toilet.” Kimmy goes on to explain that one day last week, she had a pair of panties stolen out of her gym locker and maybe these were those panties, but she has no idea how they got messed in and hidden behind the toilet. “So you expect us to believe that someone stole your panties, wore them, had an accident in them, and then hid the panties behind the toilet during your very own gym class?” I ask her. “I don’t know how they got there,” she insists, “I just know that I didn’t put them there.” When asked if she reported the theft of her underwear last week, she explains that she didn’t. “They were a pair of ratty old panties and I really didn’t want them back from whoever stole them,” she claims, “I never knew they’d wind up like this.”
The TVPC seems pretty well divided on this case. Kimmy’s story (especially the sudden revelation about her stolen panties) is hard to believe. But unfortunately for Kimmy, there’s even more to this case. “I have a witness,” Miss Mars explains, “I have a witness from Kimmy’s Physics class the period before.” “I sit behind her in Physics class,” reports Tammy, the witness, “And it was pretty obvious that Kimmy had a mess in her panties then.” “I could definitely smell it from where I was sitting behind her in class,” she explains, “And when Kimmy got up at the end of class, you could definitely see the bulge in the back of her jeans from the poop in her panties.” All the while, I’m staring at Kimmy and the poor girl stands there incredulous at hearing Tammy’s story. “She had asked Miss Robinson for a girls’ room pass earlier in the period, but she was denied,” Tammy, a senior blonde, continues, “I guess that’s what caused her to have the accident in the first place.” “She must have gone into the bathroom in the girls’ locker room the next period,” she adds, “And I guess she cleaned herself up and hid the messy panties in the stall.”
Kimmy is left speechless at the senior’s story but continues to deny her guilt. “It just isn’t true,” she says, growing increasingly frustrated at what is happening to her, “I don’t know why she is saying all that – but it just isn’t true.” “I did have to go in Physics class and Miss Robinson did deny me permission because I’d already used up all of my passes,” Kimmy acknowledges, “But I never messed in my panties – I just didn’t.” “When class was over, I just went across the hall to the girls’ room,” she explains, “I did my BM in the toilet in there and none of it was in my panties.” “I just never had messy panties!” she pleads vehemently, “I did it in the toilet before I even went down to the girls’ locker room.”
I want to believe Kimmy but Tammy’s testimony really swings the tide against her. . The poor girl is reduced to tears as I promptly impose the mandatory 1 month of toilet suspension as well as the mandatory 1,000 times writing assignment (“I will not hide my messy panties in the girls’ room in school again.”) and 2 weeks of after school bathroom cleaning. For the mess itself (it’s a first offense that she’d normally only get a warning for, but since she committed another toilet violation by trying to hide it, she loses that privilege), she has to write 250 times (“I will not soil my panties in school again.”) and serve 2 days regular detention. It’s also noted on her school toilet record that this mess is an unusually large one – it’s actually hard to believe that a girl could walk with a load like this in her panties.
Kimmy is now crying full force (and still maintaining her innocence) as I proceed to lecture her about what a toilet suspension is (she is forbidden to use any school toilet for any reason for the duration of the suspension) and warn her of the consequences for violating it. But just as a TVPC staffer attaches the dreaded red wristband to Kimmy’s wrist (the wristband indicating for all to see that she is a girl on toilet suspension), Tammy suddenly speaks up. “WAIT! – please wait,” she says. “I’m sorry but I can’t go through with this!” she tells us, “I just can’t let a girl get put on toilet suspension for no reason.” “Tammy, what are you doing,” shouts Mrs. Nash, a Chemistry teacher – calling out from the other side of the room, “Remember what you have at stake here.” I bang my gavel to restore order and direct Mrs. Nash to be quiet and Tammy to continue. “I just can’t go through with this – I just can’t let another girl get put on toilet suspension when she didn’t do anything wrong,” she repeats, this time directing her comments to Mrs. Nash.”
“I lied about everything,” Tammy tells us, “I never saw Kimmy with a mess in her panties.” “I just made up the whole thing,” she explains, “In fact, I know that Kimmy is innocent of the whole thing.” Stunned, the TVPC and those assembled listen to an incredible story of how it was none other than Mrs. Nash who put those panties behind the toilet in the girls’ locker room. “I’m not sure exactly how Mrs. Nash got a hold of Kimmy’s panties,” the pretty blonde explains, “But I do know that Mrs. Nash messed in those panties herself and then hid them behind the toilet while Kimmy was in gym class.” The motive was quite obviously revenge against Kimmy who provided evidence to the TVPC of Mrs. Nash’s guilt in a previous TVPC case – a case that we dealt with at our 12/17/10 TVPC session.
“Mrs. Nash had me over a barrel,” Tammy further explains, “Last week she caught me smoking in the Science Wing girls’ room and I had a mess in my panties at the time as well.” “It was my second offense for smoking so I knew that mean a toilet suspension,” she acknowledges, “I was desperate for Mrs. Nash not to turn me in because of the toilet suspension.” “And I was really embarrassed at having the mess in my panties, too,” she adds, “Mrs. Nash agreed not to turn me in for the smoking and the messed panties if agreed to help her by being a witness against Kimmy.” “I knew it was wrong but I was just desperate not to get put on toilet suspension and I didn’t want my mom to find out I’d had another accident, either,” she continues, “But when I saw Kimmy crying and knowing that she was getting put on toilet suspension for something she didn’t even do, I couldn’t go through with.” “I’m the one who deserved the toilet suspension, not her,” Tammy adds.
Just as it was last time with Mrs. Nash (and Mrs. Corbin, the school librarian last time as well), I am left nearly speechless with outrage at the teacher’s conduct. The TVPC cannot punish teachers (it was only by voluntary agreement that I was able to punish her and her very, very close friend Mrs. Corbin last time), but I am too angry to care. “I’m going to impose punishment and I expect you to do it,” I tell Mrs. Nash, “I suppose that you could complain if you want to, but then we’ll have to bring your conduct before the Board of Education.” I doubt that she’ll risk that because she’d likely be fired for something as egregious as this. “I thought you’d have learned your lesson last time,” I tell her, “I don’t suppose it was pleasant to have to write something 5,000 times.” “But obviously, it wasn’t enough to teach you a lesson,” I explain, “This time it’ll be 10,000 times – ‘I will not defecate in someone else’s panties and hide those panties in the girls’ locker room again.’” “You’ll hand in 2,500 times each week until it’s done,” I tell her, “And you better not be late with any of this.” “Then there is the matter of your toilet privileges,” I continue, “Or should I say your lack of toilet privileges.” “You’re done, Mrs. Nash,” I tell her, “You’re on toilet suspension for the rest of the school year.” “That’s no faculty bathrooms, no student bathrooms, NO BATHROOMS at all,” I stipulate, “After what you’ve done, you’ve forfeited all rights to set foot in school bathrooms again.” “Oh Yeah! – And there’s one other thing,” I add, “You’ll take those panties that you messed in and clean them out immediately.” “You go scrub them clean and then you should take a look around,” I tell her, “Because that’s the last time you’ll be seeing a school bathroom for a good long time.”
Next, of course, we find Kimmy “Not Guilty” of both charges – “Not Guilty” of soiling her panties and “Not Guilty” of hiding soiled panties in the girls’ room. “MY apologies to you, young lady,” I tell Kimmy, “On behalf of myself and the entire TVPC, I am very sorry for not believing you.
The last order of business in this case is dealing with Tammy, the pretty blonde senior. She now has 3 charges against her – smoking in the girls’ room, soiling in her panties, and now lying to the TVPC. “But your lie wasn’t just any lie,” I tell her. “Yours was a lie that got another girl placed on toilet suspension,” I explain, “And that’s worth a toilet suspension to the liar.” She already knew that she had to go on toilet suspension for her second violation of smoking in the girls’ room, but now she’s facing even more time without her toilet privileges in school for the lie. Taking her offenses one at a time, the smoking gets her 3 weeks on toilet suspension and 2 weeks in detention. She’ll also have to write 1,000 times “I will not smoke in the girls’ room in school again.” For messing in her panties (her 4th violation on that), she’ll have to write 500 times “I will not soil my panties in school again.” and it’s also a week of detention sitting on the toilet. The toilet sitting, of course, will be served when she has her toilet privileges restored at the conclusion of her 3 weeks on toilet suspension.
“As to your lying, I really should put you on toilet suspension for that as well,” I lecture her, “But you did tell the truth before Kimmy actually spent any time on toilet suspension.” “And you did give us the full story of what happened and you ultimately helped prove Kimmy’s innocence,” I point out, “And that came with admitting your own guilt to a serious toilet violation, as well.” Pondering these factors, the TVPC votes 5-0 to spare her any further toilet suspension. She breathes a sigh of relief at hearing that, but that’s certainly not to say that she’ll be let off easily.
“This was still a very egregious lie, young lady,” I tell her, “And certainly not one to be let off with just the usual 500 times and week in detention.” “Yes, sir,” she acknowledges, “I’ll do anything that I have to do if it means not being on toilet suspension any longer than I have to.” “I’m afraid that’s going to be 1,000 times of ‘I will not lie to the Toilet Violations Punishment Committee again.’” I tell her, “And I’m afraid that’s going to be 1,000 times on the blackboard after school.” “I’m going to use you as an example,” I explain, “I want everyone to see you writing that – I want everyone to see what happens to girls who lie to the TVPC.” “Yes, sir,” she acknowledges, crying anew. Between writing 1,000 sentences on the blackboard after school, 2 weeks of regular detention and then eventually 1 week of toilet sitting detention, it’s abundantly clear that Tammy won’t be leaving school at the regular time for quite a while. And that’s while serving time on toilet suspension and also having to write a boatload of punishment sentences for homework.
I trust that she will have learned her lesson from this episode. As for Mrs. Nash, I’m not so sure. I suspect that she (and her friend Mrs. Corbin who has also committed another offense – an offense punished during our January 24th TVPC session) have really pushed it too far this time.
For our next case this afternoon, we have a referral from the Principal’s Office. He is sending to us a case involving Kathleen, a quiet, easy going junior with pretty blue eyes and dark blonde hair. She cut her last period class yesterday and was therefore referred to the Principal for punishment. The Principal is in charge of punishing non-toilet-related infractions while the TVPC is in charge of punishing those infractions that are toilet-related. Cutting class, of course, would ordinarily be a matter for the Principal, but after looking into the particulars of this case, he has decided to refer it to us here at the TVPC. I am now reading the Violations Report that the Principal sent us.
“It says here that you cut class yesterday,” I tell Kathleen, “It also gives a reason why you cut class.” “Would you like to share that reason with us?” I ask her. Embarrassed, she says that she’d rather not, but I phrase my question a little differently – this time TELLING her rather than ASKING her to explain why she cut class. “I cut class because I had a mess in my panties,” she reluctantly explains, “I had an accident in my pants during 7th period but it wasn’t that bad and I hadn’t been caught yet.” “I was worried that if I went to 8th period I was going to get caught – especially if I went in my pants worse,” she continues, “So I decided to cut 8th period so I wouldn’t get caught.” “And obviously you made a calculation that the punishment for cutting class would be less than the punishment for messing in your panties,” I point out, “With 3 prior messing accidents on your record this year, I’m guessing you calculated the punishment for cutting class would be A LOT less.” “Yes, sir,” she acknowledges, knowing from past experience (she once had to write 500 sentences for lying to the TVPC about sneaking into a faculty bathroom) that honesty is the best policy when appearing before the TVPC.
“So what do you think happens now?” I ask her, “What do you think happens to girls who try to trade a punishment for cutting class in lieu of a punishment for messing in her panties?” She says that she doesn’t know but I press her for an answer. “I’m sure that I’ve made it worse for myself,” she acknowledges, “I’m thinking now I’m going to get punished for BOTH the messing in my panties and for cutting class.” “Right you are, Kathleen, I tell her. Obviously, the charge of messing in her panties is a matter for the TVPC, but the question arises as to how the cutting class offense should be handled. As we’ve said, cutting class would normally be a matter for the Principal, but since the reason for cutting class was to avoid getting punished for the messing accident, the cutting class also becomes a matter for the TVPC.
Taking her violations in the order that they occurred, I deal with her accident first. “The punishment keeps getting worse the more accidents you have,” I tell her, “And you are starting to move up to some more serious punishments – I think it would be a good idea to make a better effort to make it to the toilet in time.” “Yes sir, I do try to get to the girls’ room when I really need to,” she answers, “But sometimes I just seem to wait a little too long.” “I don’t really like to go at school at all, so I try to hold it in and go at home when I can,” she explains, “I thought I could hold it in this time, but I was wrong.” “You’re a junior in high school now, Kathleen,” I tell her, “I think you need to use the toilet when you need a bowel movement – even if it’s at school.”
For punishment, she has to write 500 times, “I will not soil my panties in school again.” I also assign her to 5 days detention but I order her to spend the time sitting on a toilet in the Science Wing girls’ room – the science wing girls’ room being the one she should have used in the first place. “You didn’t want to spend a few minutes on the toilet when you need to,” I point out to her, “So now, you’ll have to spend 5 hours of detention time sitting there thinking about that.” “And the next time when you’re holding it in because you don’t like to go at school, I hope you’ll think about the long, tedious hours that it takes to write something 500 times,” I tell her, “And then you can ask yourself if you want to risk writing it 1,000 times next time.”
For cutting class, I give her the choice of writing “I will not cut class to avoid a TVPC punishment again.” 250 times or serving 3 days in detention. “Because you were honest about it, I’m giving you a choice,” I tell her, “But if you pull this little trick again, you’ll certainly get both punishments.” “If I take the detention, is it just regular detention or do I have to sit on the toilet during that detention, too?” she asks. “It’s just regular detention,” I tell her, “You’ll serve it here in the back of the room when your toilet sitting detention is finished.” “I’ll take the regular detention then,” she answers, “Thank you, sir, for letting me have that choice.” “I won’t do this again,” she promises. “I hope not,” I tell her.
TO BE CONTINUED
I am quite surprised to see Kimmy, a very beautiful and very bright junior, as the accused in our next case. She is not a frequent toilet offender by any means. In fact, when we last saw her at a TVPC meeting (our 12/17/10 session), she was here to present us evidence that righted a wrong in a very serious case. Even more surprising in this case is the accusation against Kimmy – that of hiding her soiled panties behind the toilet in the girls’ locker room. This is a serious offense for which the minimum punishment is a full month on toilet suspension. She also faces punishment, of course, for soiling in those panties in the first place. This would her first toilet offense of any kind this school year and the first accident offense since the 2 (one wetting, one soiling) that she did her freshman year. While it’s understandable that she’d be upset at messing in her panties, it’s hard to believe that she’d be so desperate not to get caught at it, that she’d hide her messy panties. She’s a smart girl and she’d have to know that she’d be taking an offense for which she’d only get a warning as a first time accident offender and turning it into an offense requiring a toilet suspension.
Kimmy, however, is vehemently denying her guilt. “I didn’t hide my panties behind the toilet,” she tells us, “I didn’t even mess in them in the first place – I haven’t messed in my panties since my first week of high school as a freshman.” “How can you not believe me?” she pleads, “How can you believe that I’d ever do anything so stupid – much less something so disgusting as to mess my panties in the first place?” That’s just it, Kimmy,” I explain to her, “I know that you don’t mess in your panties like a lot of girls do, but I wonder if you just panicked at having an accident and then, without really thinking, tried to hide it.” “But I didn’t mess in my panties,” she pleads again, “And then I’d have no reason to hide the panties SINCE I DIDN’T MESS IN THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE!!” I am forced to use my gavel to get her to calm down.
“I must confess that I’m a little surprised myself,” states the lovely Miss Mars, “Kimmy’s gym teacher who has filed the Violation Report against her. “But I found the soiled panties hidden behind a toilet in the girls’ locker room,” Miss Mars reports, “And when I retrieved them, they had Kimmy’s named stitched in them.” “What else am I supposed to think?” the young and lovely gym teacher asks, holding up a plastic bag containing the aforementioned panties – panties containing an enormous load of fecal matter. “What is the TVPC supposed to think?” I ask Kimmy. “I guess they could be my panties – my mom does stitch my name in all my clothes,” she acknowledges, “But I didn’t mess in them and I certainly didn’t hide them behind the toilet.” Kimmy goes on to explain that one day last week, she had a pair of panties stolen out of her gym locker and maybe these were those panties, but she has no idea how they got messed in and hidden behind the toilet. “So you expect us to believe that someone stole your panties, wore them, had an accident in them, and then hid the panties behind the toilet during your very own gym class?” I ask her. “I don’t know how they got there,” she insists, “I just know that I didn’t put them there.” When asked if she reported the theft of her underwear last week, she explains that she didn’t. “They were a pair of ratty old panties and I really didn’t want them back from whoever stole them,” she claims, “I never knew they’d wind up like this.”
The TVPC seems pretty well divided on this case. Kimmy’s story (especially the sudden revelation about her stolen panties) is hard to believe. But unfortunately for Kimmy, there’s even more to this case. “I have a witness,” Miss Mars explains, “I have a witness from Kimmy’s Physics class the period before.” “I sit behind her in Physics class,” reports Tammy, the witness, “And it was pretty obvious that Kimmy had a mess in her panties then.” “I could definitely smell it from where I was sitting behind her in class,” she explains, “And when Kimmy got up at the end of class, you could definitely see the bulge in the back of her jeans from the poop in her panties.” All the while, I’m staring at Kimmy and the poor girl stands there incredulous at hearing Tammy’s story. “She had asked Miss Robinson for a girls’ room pass earlier in the period, but she was denied,” Tammy, a senior blonde, continues, “I guess that’s what caused her to have the accident in the first place.” “She must have gone into the bathroom in the girls’ locker room the next period,” she adds, “And I guess she cleaned herself up and hid the messy panties in the stall.”
Kimmy is left speechless at the senior’s story but continues to deny her guilt. “It just isn’t true,” she says, growing increasingly frustrated at what is happening to her, “I don’t know why she is saying all that – but it just isn’t true.” “I did have to go in Physics class and Miss Robinson did deny me permission because I’d already used up all of my passes,” Kimmy acknowledges, “But I never messed in my panties – I just didn’t.” “When class was over, I just went across the hall to the girls’ room,” she explains, “I did my BM in the toilet in there and none of it was in my panties.” “I just never had messy panties!” she pleads vehemently, “I did it in the toilet before I even went down to the girls’ locker room.”
I want to believe Kimmy but Tammy’s testimony really swings the tide against her. . The poor girl is reduced to tears as I promptly impose the mandatory 1 month of toilet suspension as well as the mandatory 1,000 times writing assignment (“I will not hide my messy panties in the girls’ room in school again.”) and 2 weeks of after school bathroom cleaning.

But just as a TVPC staffer attaches the dreaded red wristband to Kimmy’s wrist (the wristband indicating for all to see that she is a girl on toilet suspension), Tammy suddenly speaks up. “WAIT! – please wait,” she says. “I’m sorry but I can’t go through with this!” she tells us, “I just can’t let a girl get put on toilet suspension for no reason.” “Tammy, what are you doing,” shouts Mrs. Nash, a Chemistry teacher – calling out from the other side of the room, “Remember what you have at stake here.” I bang my gavel to restore order and direct Mrs. Nash to be quiet and Tammy to continue. “I just can’t go through with this – I just can’t let another girl get put on toilet suspension when she didn’t do anything wrong,” she repeats, this time directing her comments to Mrs. Nash.”
“I lied about everything,” Tammy tells us, “I never saw Kimmy with a mess in her panties.” “I just made up the whole thing,” she explains, “In fact, I know that Kimmy is innocent of the whole thing.” Stunned, the TVPC and those assembled listen to an incredible story of how it was none other than Mrs. Nash who put those panties behind the toilet in the girls’ locker room. “I’m not sure exactly how Mrs. Nash got a hold of Kimmy’s panties,” the pretty blonde explains, “But I do know that Mrs. Nash messed in those panties herself and then hid them behind the toilet while Kimmy was in gym class.” The motive was quite obviously revenge against Kimmy who provided evidence to the TVPC of Mrs. Nash’s guilt in a previous TVPC case – a case that we dealt with at our 12/17/10 TVPC session.
“Mrs. Nash had me over a barrel,” Tammy further explains, “Last week she caught me smoking in the Science Wing girls’ room and I had a mess in my panties at the time as well.” “It was my second offense for smoking so I knew that mean a toilet suspension,” she acknowledges, “I was desperate for Mrs. Nash not to turn me in because of the toilet suspension.” “And I was really embarrassed at having the mess in my panties, too,” she adds, “Mrs. Nash agreed not to turn me in for the smoking and the messed panties if agreed to help her by being a witness against Kimmy.” “I knew it was wrong but I was just desperate not to get put on toilet suspension and I didn’t want my mom to find out I’d had another accident, either,” she continues, “But when I saw Kimmy crying and knowing that she was getting put on toilet suspension for something she didn’t even do, I couldn’t go through with.” “I’m the one who deserved the toilet suspension, not her,” Tammy adds.
Just as it was last time with Mrs. Nash (and Mrs. Corbin, the school librarian last time as well), I am left nearly speechless with outrage at the teacher’s conduct. The TVPC cannot punish teachers (it was only by voluntary agreement that I was able to punish her and her very, very close friend Mrs. Corbin last time), but I am too angry to care. “I’m going to impose punishment and I expect you to do it,” I tell Mrs. Nash, “I suppose that you could complain if you want to, but then we’ll have to bring your conduct before the Board of Education.” I doubt that she’ll risk that because she’d likely be fired for something as egregious as this. “I thought you’d have learned your lesson last time,” I tell her, “I don’t suppose it was pleasant to have to write something 5,000 times.” “But obviously, it wasn’t enough to teach you a lesson,” I explain, “This time it’ll be 10,000 times – ‘I will not defecate in someone else’s panties and hide those panties in the girls’ locker room again.’” “You’ll hand in 2,500 times each week until it’s done,” I tell her, “And you better not be late with any of this.” “Then there is the matter of your toilet privileges,” I continue, “Or should I say your lack of toilet privileges.” “You’re done, Mrs. Nash,” I tell her, “You’re on toilet suspension for the rest of the school year.” “That’s no faculty bathrooms, no student bathrooms, NO BATHROOMS at all,” I stipulate, “After what you’ve done, you’ve forfeited all rights to set foot in school bathrooms again.” “Oh Yeah! – And there’s one other thing,” I add, “You’ll take those panties that you messed in and clean them out immediately.” “You go scrub them clean and then you should take a look around,” I tell her, “Because that’s the last time you’ll be seeing a school bathroom for a good long time.”
Next, of course, we find Kimmy “Not Guilty” of both charges – “Not Guilty” of soiling her panties and “Not Guilty” of hiding soiled panties in the girls’ room. “MY apologies to you, young lady,” I tell Kimmy, “On behalf of myself and the entire TVPC, I am very sorry for not believing you.
The last order of business in this case is dealing with Tammy, the pretty blonde senior. She now has 3 charges against her – smoking in the girls’ room, soiling in her panties, and now lying to the TVPC. “But your lie wasn’t just any lie,” I tell her. “Yours was a lie that got another girl placed on toilet suspension,” I explain, “And that’s worth a toilet suspension to the liar.” She already knew that she had to go on toilet suspension for her second violation of smoking in the girls’ room, but now she’s facing even more time without her toilet privileges in school for the lie. Taking her offenses one at a time, the smoking gets her 3 weeks on toilet suspension and 2 weeks in detention. She’ll also have to write 1,000 times “I will not smoke in the girls’ room in school again.” For messing in her panties (her 4th violation on that), she’ll have to write 500 times “I will not soil my panties in school again.” and it’s also a week of detention sitting on the toilet. The toilet sitting, of course, will be served when she has her toilet privileges restored at the conclusion of her 3 weeks on toilet suspension.
“As to your lying, I really should put you on toilet suspension for that as well,” I lecture her, “But you did tell the truth before Kimmy actually spent any time on toilet suspension.” “And you did give us the full story of what happened and you ultimately helped prove Kimmy’s innocence,” I point out, “And that came with admitting your own guilt to a serious toilet violation, as well.” Pondering these factors, the TVPC votes 5-0 to spare her any further toilet suspension. She breathes a sigh of relief at hearing that, but that’s certainly not to say that she’ll be let off easily.
“This was still a very egregious lie, young lady,” I tell her, “And certainly not one to be let off with just the usual 500 times and week in detention.” “Yes, sir,” she acknowledges, “I’ll do anything that I have to do if it means not being on toilet suspension any longer than I have to.” “I’m afraid that’s going to be 1,000 times of ‘I will not lie to the Toilet Violations Punishment Committee again.’” I tell her, “And I’m afraid that’s going to be 1,000 times on the blackboard after school.” “I’m going to use you as an example,” I explain, “I want everyone to see you writing that – I want everyone to see what happens to girls who lie to the TVPC.” “Yes, sir,” she acknowledges, crying anew. Between writing 1,000 sentences on the blackboard after school, 2 weeks of regular detention and then eventually 1 week of toilet sitting detention, it’s abundantly clear that Tammy won’t be leaving school at the regular time for quite a while. And that’s while serving time on toilet suspension and also having to write a boatload of punishment sentences for homework.
I trust that she will have learned her lesson from this episode. As for Mrs. Nash, I’m not so sure. I suspect that she (and her friend Mrs. Corbin who has also committed another offense – an offense punished during our January 24th TVPC session) have really pushed it too far this time.
For our next case this afternoon, we have a referral from the Principal’s Office. He is sending to us a case involving Kathleen, a quiet, easy going junior with pretty blue eyes and dark blonde hair. She cut her last period class yesterday and was therefore referred to the Principal for punishment. The Principal is in charge of punishing non-toilet-related infractions while the TVPC is in charge of punishing those infractions that are toilet-related. Cutting class, of course, would ordinarily be a matter for the Principal, but after looking into the particulars of this case, he has decided to refer it to us here at the TVPC. I am now reading the Violations Report that the Principal sent us.
“It says here that you cut class yesterday,” I tell Kathleen, “It also gives a reason why you cut class.” “Would you like to share that reason with us?” I ask her. Embarrassed, she says that she’d rather not, but I phrase my question a little differently – this time TELLING her rather than ASKING her to explain why she cut class. “I cut class because I had a mess in my panties,” she reluctantly explains, “I had an accident in my pants during 7th period but it wasn’t that bad and I hadn’t been caught yet.” “I was worried that if I went to 8th period I was going to get caught – especially if I went in my pants worse,” she continues, “So I decided to cut 8th period so I wouldn’t get caught.” “And obviously you made a calculation that the punishment for cutting class would be less than the punishment for messing in your panties,” I point out, “With 3 prior messing accidents on your record this year, I’m guessing you calculated the punishment for cutting class would be A LOT less.” “Yes, sir,” she acknowledges, knowing from past experience (she once had to write 500 sentences for lying to the TVPC about sneaking into a faculty bathroom) that honesty is the best policy when appearing before the TVPC.
“So what do you think happens now?” I ask her, “What do you think happens to girls who try to trade a punishment for cutting class in lieu of a punishment for messing in her panties?” She says that she doesn’t know but I press her for an answer. “I’m sure that I’ve made it worse for myself,” she acknowledges, “I’m thinking now I’m going to get punished for BOTH the messing in my panties and for cutting class.” “Right you are, Kathleen, I tell her. Obviously, the charge of messing in her panties is a matter for the TVPC, but the question arises as to how the cutting class offense should be handled. As we’ve said, cutting class would normally be a matter for the Principal, but since the reason for cutting class was to avoid getting punished for the messing accident, the cutting class also becomes a matter for the TVPC.
Taking her violations in the order that they occurred, I deal with her accident first. “The punishment keeps getting worse the more accidents you have,” I tell her, “And you are starting to move up to some more serious punishments – I think it would be a good idea to make a better effort to make it to the toilet in time.” “Yes sir, I do try to get to the girls’ room when I really need to,” she answers, “But sometimes I just seem to wait a little too long.” “I don’t really like to go at school at all, so I try to hold it in and go at home when I can,” she explains, “I thought I could hold it in this time, but I was wrong.” “You’re a junior in high school now, Kathleen,” I tell her, “I think you need to use the toilet when you need a bowel movement – even if it’s at school.”
For punishment, she has to write 500 times, “I will not soil my panties in school again.” I also assign her to 5 days detention but I order her to spend the time sitting on a toilet in the Science Wing girls’ room – the science wing girls’ room being the one she should have used in the first place. “You didn’t want to spend a few minutes on the toilet when you need to,” I point out to her, “So now, you’ll have to spend 5 hours of detention time sitting there thinking about that.” “And the next time when you’re holding it in because you don’t like to go at school, I hope you’ll think about the long, tedious hours that it takes to write something 500 times,” I tell her, “And then you can ask yourself if you want to risk writing it 1,000 times next time.”
For cutting class, I give her the choice of writing “I will not cut class to avoid a TVPC punishment again.” 250 times or serving 3 days in detention. “Because you were honest about it, I’m giving you a choice,” I tell her, “But if you pull this little trick again, you’ll certainly get both punishments.” “If I take the detention, is it just regular detention or do I have to sit on the toilet during that detention, too?” she asks. “It’s just regular detention,” I tell her, “You’ll serve it here in the back of the room when your toilet sitting detention is finished.” “I’ll take the regular detention then,” she answers, “Thank you, sir, for letting me have that choice.” “I won’t do this again,” she promises. “I hope not,” I tell her.
