On July 15, 1742, a Boston woman named Abigail Gilpin, her husband at sea, had been found “naked in bed with one John Russell.” They were both to be “whipped at the public whipping post 20 stripes each.” Abigail was appealing the ruling, but it wasn’t the whipping itself she wished to avoid. She was begging the judge to let her be whipped early, before the town awoke. “If your honor pleases,” she wrote, “take some pity on me for my dear children who cannot help their unfortunate mother’s failings.”
Recently there have been articles in the Orlando Sentinel about a mom, named Victoria Triece, who has volunteered at the school for the past 5 years and has kids (5 & 10) who attend the school. Another parent apparently got a paid subscription to look at the mom's (legal) page on Only Fans, an adults-only website, then sent photos to the school. The school then prohibited the mom from volunteering at the school, although they said she can still chaperone on field trips (as if that makes any sense). Now her name known all over and she has been publicly shamed despite having been a loyal and well-liked volunteer. She's gotten an attorney and is suing the school. Perhaps you can write about this.
