It was now the year 2050, and society had seen many changes, particularly as there was more unemployment because AI had replaced so many jobs.  

For most criminal offences, offenders were now sent to Discipline Centres to be spanked and caned. The offenders had to wear ankle tags for several weeks, and one, two, or three times a week had to attend the Discipline Centre to receive their punishment, given by properly trained disciplinarians. Whilst it was a way of reducing the number of offenders who had to go to prison, some offenders now saw prison as the soft option, rather than having to attend the Discipline Centre multiple times. Therefore, the Discipline Centre alternative was clearly working to significantly reduce crime and make society a safer place for everyone. 

There were also changes for the adults who were unemployed. To ensure adults didn't just sit at home and binge on TV, or the like, unemployed adults had to partake in online lessons at home, including doing homework and taking regular tests. When they failed to do their set homework or failed tests, then their punishments were lines, but also being spanked and caned.  

To deal with the corporal punishment of adult students, there were Adult Education Discipline Centres, similar to the main Discipline Centres, but smaller and with one in each shopping area for easy access by the adult students. They were manned by two disciplinarians who would spank and cane the adult who was sent there by their online educational establishment.  

Disciplinarians could be trained from as young as sixteen, even though still at college. They were then employed at the local Adult Education Discipline Centre, and got paid every time they carried out discipline on an adult. 

Whilst the discipline regime in the adult education establishments was based upon detentions. The detentions weren't sat, but the punishment the adult student got was based upon the number of detentions they were given. If only one detention had been earned, then the adult student had to write one hundred lines, making sure they were handed in at a specific time. Being late led to a double detention and the consequential punishment. A double detention led to the adult student being sent to the Adult Education Discipline Centre to be spanked and caned, which quickly changed their attitude so they more readily kept to the rules very soon after these changes came into being. 

When an adult student was spanked or caned at the local Adult Education Discipline Centre, the adult student had to take a punishment form back home, and their husband, wife, or partner would give the adult student another spanking that evening. However, systems were in place to make sure the spanking was a hard and long one, and if it was discovered that the spanking wasn't hard enough, then an Allocated Responsible Adult was appointed to carry out the punishments in future. 

 As cameras were much improved compared to twenty-five years earlier, with photos and videos immediately being sent to inspectors, it was easy to compare the state of the thrashed bottom both after the punishment had been given at the Adult Education Discipline Centre, and then again after the spanking given in the evening. There were no second chances given when the second spanking was determined not to be hard enough, and so an increasing number of Allocated Responsible Adults were trained and appointed.  

When it came to disciplining the adult students, it was determined that the person giving the spanking or the cane needn't be older than the person on the receiving end, as it was the punishment itself that was the relevant aspect.  

Where there was an Allocated Responsible Adult appointed, the adult student would still take a punishment form back home, and in their case, it would be the Allocated Responsible Adult who would deal with the punishment at the adult student's home. All Allocated Responsible Adults were fully trained in giving a spanking and the cane, and it was fair to say that all adults dreaded when their Allocated Responsible Adult was due to deal with them. 

Today, Mrs Thompson, Kelly who was thirty-nine, was attending the local Adult Education Discipline Centre because she had another double detention. It was the third double detention in three weeks for Kelly, and the tariff was now going to be a bare bottom spanking with both the disciplinarian's hand and paddle hairbrush, and then twelve strokes of the cane. It wasn't what Kelly wanted to happen to her, but she was just too slack when doing her homework. Kelly was waiting in the admin office, knowing that as soon as the phone rang, she would be sent into the disciplinarian, and Kelly certainly wasn't looking forward to that. 

Kelly knew that her punishment at home later would be by his Allocated Responsible Adult, and wasn't looking forward to her second spanking later on either. 

Like all of the adult students, Kelly was wearing the standard college uniform of a short-sleeved green and white check gingham dress, a white belt, and white ankle socks. It was part of the system that ensured the adult students felt more like students than adults when doing their evening class online. When speaking to the teacher online, they had to address them as Mr and Miss, and never use their first name, again to ensure respect for the teachers. 

The phone did ring on the secretary's desk, but it clearly wasn't the disciplinarian. The secretary, Miss Butler, answered the phone, but was surprised at what was being said, and wrote notes about the phone call. When she put the phone down, she then rang another number, which turned out to be the disciplinarian, and Miss Butler said. "I've just had a call to say that your meeting with the governors has been brought forward. You need to go straight there, in fact." 

There was then a gap in the discussion, at least it was clearly the disciplinarian who was speaking, and then Miss Butler replied, "The stand-in disciplinarian is one of the new disciplinarians, Laura Thompson. Oh, actually, the person you are due to see now is Mrs Thompson, Laura's mother." 

There was another gap when Miss Butler was just listening to what was being said to her, and then she replied, "Okay, I'll get Laura in." 

Mrs Thompson was clearly shocked because, if she had heard correctly, her daughter, Laura, who was seventeen, was about to be called and told to take over from the disciplinarian, which Kelly realised would mean that she would now be disciplined by her own daughter. Kelly knew that she couldn't object to that, as it was clearly stated in the rules that the age of the disciplinarian was not a consequence to be considered, nor if they were related to the adult student they would be disciplining. 

What Kelly thought she had heard was clearly what she had heard, because she then listened to Miss Butler calling Laura and telling her to come straight to the punishment room to take over the disciplinarian function. Kelly heard Miss Butler look up as she said that the person Laura would have to discipline was her own mother. From what Kelly could tell, there was no objection raised by Laura, because Miss Butler closed the call almost immediately afterwards, looked up at Kelly, and said, "Miss Thompson is on her way to deal with you, Mrs Thompson." 

Kelly said a respectful, "Thank you, Miss," confirming that she understood what had been said, but knew that she couldn't object.  

Laura walked into the secretary's office within just a couple of minutes of being called, and, as she walked towards the punishment room, she glanced at her mum, nodded, but then carried on, acting like the disciplinarian she now was. Kelly knew that Laura had already disciplined adults, including some who were parents of Laura's own friends, and even some of Kelly's own friends. Now, Kelly was resigned to the fact that she was going to be disciplined by her own daughter.  

Kelly saw that Laura was wearing the same college uniform as she was, except that one significant difference between Laura's uniform and Kelly's was that Laura had on a disciplinarian's badge. That showed her position of authority even over her own mum, which was also emphasised by the stern, authoritative look on Laura's face, that told Kelly that her daughter knew exactly what her responsibility was and what she needed to do to her own mother. 

Laura knocked on the punishment room door and, when she heard the disciplinarian call out that she should enter, Laura walked into the punishment room, and closed the door behind herself. 

The disciplinarian looked up at Laura and said, "Now, Laura, I do understand that the adult student you are going to be disciplining is your mother. I believe you are well aware that no leniency must be shown whatsoever, and that will be monitored by the cameras." 

Laura replied, "I don't have any reservations about disciplining my own mother. She and I both know the rules, so I knew this was a possibility once I trained to be a disciplinarian. I can assure you, my mother will be thrashed well beyond what she can cope with, in accordance with my training." 

The disciplinarian smiled and said, "Just what I expected you to say, Laura. Now, I'll be gone for about an hour, so I won't be back before you are finished. I will check the film, though, but know you will thrash your mum as you are trained to do." 

With that, the disciplinarian left her study, walked through the secretary's office, out into the corridor, and made her way to her meeting. 

After just a few moments, Laura called Miss Butler and said, "Please send Mrs Thompson in." 

There was a knock on the door, and Laura called out, "Enter." 

Laura watched the door open, her mum come in, close the door behind herself, and then obediently walk up to Laura, who was now sitting behind the desk and in the disciplinarian's chair. As was normal. Mrs Thompson immediately put her hands on her head, and knew that even though she was the mum, she had to be ultra-obedient to her daughter. 

This being the first time she was going to discipline her mum, Laura was certainly going to enjoy herself, and the first question she asked, sternly, was, "You do know how to address me, Mrs Thompson?" 

Kelly replied, "Yes, Miss Thompson. I will be addressing you with respect." 

Laura was happy enough with that, so she stood up, walked around the table, and then went and sat in the high-backed chair that the disciplinarians used to spank the adult students. After sitting down, Laura glared at her mum and said, "Right, Mrs Thompson, your knickers off and your dress held well up above your waist." 

Kelly was immediately obedient, raised the hem of her dress, eased her thumbs into the elastic of her regulation knickers, pushed them down to the floor, scooped them up, and put them on the desk. She then made sure that her dress was held right up above her waist, and again stood still waiting for instructions. 

Laura was happy so far, particularly as her mum was acting just like any of the other adult students that she had disciplined. She then ordered. "Right, Mrs Thompson, come here, and bend across my lap." 

Kelly certainly felt humiliated by the fact that she was being disciplined by her own daughter, in what was her daughter's official capacity as disciplinarian, but supposed it wasn't so different to a parent disciplining their own son or daughter who had misbehaved. After all, Kelly knew that it was her own fault that she got double detentions three weeks in a row, and therefore earned exactly the punishment that her daughter was going to give her.  

That was how Kelly came to terms with the fact that she now had to obey every instruction as she turned and walked towards her daughter. Even with the humiliation she was feeling, Kelly thought Laura looked so sweet in her college uniform, the same as she was wearing. Laura was young, but Kelly knew from the authoritative tone of voice that her daughter was using just how authoritative her personality was. Kelly had to admit, as soon as she knew that her daughter was learning to be a disciplinarian, that there was always the likelihood that this was going to happen. At least she had prepared herself for that, stayed obedient as she bent across her daughter's lap, and knew from what her friends had already told her about when they were disciplined by Laura, they were thrashed well beyond what they could cope with. As she looked at her daughter's bare upside down teenage legs and her white ankle socks, Kelly was expecting the same. 

Laura spent just a few seconds rubbing her mum's bare bottom in circles, and as she did, she glanced at the camera, and saw the green light was on, so she knew the filming would take place. She then raised her hand, gave her mum the first spank on her bottom cheek, and then proceeded to spank her bottom time and again on alternate bottom cheeks. She knew just to keep going like that, watching her mum's bottom cheeks surrender to her hand each and every time she landed a spank, and, as each bottom cheek turned darker and darker shades of red, the gasps coming from her mum got louder and louder, just as Laura was expecting them to. 

Kelly had been spanked before now, by the head disciplinarian, but still wasn't surprised that Laura was spanking her every bit as hard. She even thought that, once Laura started to spank the same bottom cheek several times in a row and then the other bottom cheek several times in a row, Laura might even be spanking harder than the head disciplinarian. There was no doubt in her mind that was the case when Laura then spanked the same spot on the same bottom cheek several times in a row, and then the same spot on the other bottom cheek several times in a row. One thing Kelly knew for sure, was there was no leniency coming from her daughter, but then, she knew that was the right thing to happen. 

When Laura was happy with the effect of the hand spanking on her mum's bottom, she quickly turned and picked up the paddle hairbrush that was within easy reach, turned back to focus on her mum's nicely red bottom, and then proceeded to spank her with the wooden-backed hairbrush. Laura loved spanking with the hairbrush because it was so much more effective than when spanking with her hand. She just kept going, landing spank after spank, sometimes on alternate bottom cheeks, sometimes on the same bottom cheek several times in a row, and then the other bottom cheek several times in a row, and Laura particularly enjoyed spanking the hairbrush down on the same spot on the same bottom cheek several times in a row and then doing the same to the other bottom cheek.  

As much as Kelly had found it humiliating to be disciplined by her daughter, now that she felt the tears welling up in her eyes, she realised that was even more humiliating. As spank after spank continued to land, all she could do was try to cope as best she could, but wasn't very successful, she knew, as she felt her tears dribbling down her face. 

Once Laura was happy with the way that she had spanked her mum's bottom with the hairbrush, she knew she still had the cane to give her. So, stopping spanking with the hairbrush, Laura instructed, "Right, Mrs Thompson, get off my lap, go to the caning table, bend over, and put your wrists close to the leather cuffs. I will be securing you in place." 

Kelly was sniffing back tears as she still did as she was told, eased herself up from her daughter's lap, knowing that her bottom was stinging more than when she was last spanked by the head disciplinarian. She then made her way to the canning table, bending over as instructed, and placing her wrists next to the leather cuffs. In her case, of course, everything was blurred, but she was pretty sure her wrists were close to the leather cuffs. 

Laura followed her mum to the caning table, secured the leather cuffs around each of her mum's wrists, and then did the same to the two cuffs to secure her ankles. This was a very similar caning table to the ones at the Discipline Centres, and Laura had practiced on them as part of her training, before taking on the full disciplinarian role here at the Adult Education Discipline Centre. She was therefore very experienced at giving the cane. Laura also checked that her mum's bottom was correctly in place for the other camera to film the caning. It was. 

Happy with her mum's position, Laura then tapped her mum's bottom twice with the cane, and wanted to know, "Are you ready for your twelve strokes of the cane, Mrs Thompson?" 

Kelly immediately replied, "Yes, Miss Thompson." 

Laura then pulled her arm back, and brought the cane down really firmly for the first stroke, having no sympathy for her mum who yelped with the pain. After all, it was her mum who earned this particularly severe punishment, and Laura knew that if it wasn't her giving the punishment, it would be the head disciplinarian who would have no sympathy whatsoever either. That was why Laura proceeded to land stroke after stroke, each one given just as fiercely as that first stroke, and Laura knew that the pain would intensify, given only about five seconds between each stroke. 

Kelly struggled to cope almost immediately....
