Summary: John is a teenager gone 'off the rails'. When he is caught, he finds that the new justice system uses regression to a baby in nappies and plastic pants as both punishment and therapy. John's Trial John's parents had been kind and loving. They spent time with their son, cared for him, followed the tenets of Dr. Spock and never chastised their son. Instead, when he'd been naughty, they'd reasoned with him. He was now fifteen years old. Instead of the delightful young man they had hoped he'd grow into, he'd got in with a bad crowd. Despite his parents trying to persuade him to change his friends by reasoned discussion, they felt that talking to a brick wall would have been more productive. It seemed the more they tried to reason with him, the more he got into trouble with his friends. He had been in trouble with the police and had appeared before the magistrates on two occasions, with his parents paying his fine for him. He'd also been suspended from school. His parents asked themselves where they'd gone wrong and decided that they'd been too soft. He was out with his friends and was well overdue when they received a telephone call from the local police station to say he'd been arrested again after an act of senseless vandalism. They went down to collect him from the police station, but, before collecting him they'd asked an inspector if there was anything else which could be done to encourage him to behave in a more reasonable manner. The inspector smiled, "Actually, there is a new experimental scheme which the magistrates can sentence your son to if you approve." He explained the scheme to them and they liked what they heard. They were told that they could ask the magistrates to sentence their son to the scheme by just asking them for this or the police could inform the magistrates that they, his parents, had asked for this. Their son, when they spoke to him before taking him home, said that he'd done it and so what? The next morning, John appeared with his 'mates' in juvenile court. They all pleaded guilty and the magistrates decided to send John's mates to borstal. John, however was told that his parents had decided that he would participate in the new experimental special rehabilitation programme. When he heard this, John started to swear and curse them and his parents as he would rather have gone to borstal with his mates. The chief magistrate spoke to him, "That's exactly the sort of attitude that this scheme is designed to deal with." Turning to the police officers there, he said, "Take him away!" The officers grabbed him and, to his surprise, put him in hand restraints, then led him away. He was taken out of the court to a waiting van and handed over, along with some paper work, to two guards who were with the van. John was loaded into the cage inside which was locked, then they set off. John had a small grill with a window to look through. For once, he was beginning to get a sense of fear. What had he let himself in for? His sense of apprehension increased when the van pulled into the old mental hospital which had closed down a couple of years previously. The van drove into a gated courtyard with barbed wire around the walls and gates. The gates were closed behind the van, locked, then the van doors were opened and John was told to get out. The plastic ties fastening his hands were cut as John massaged some feeling back into his hands and wrists. The guards directed him through into the building where there was a door marked 'Processing'. They went in with John to a large changing room where a nurse was waiting for them. One of the guards spoke to John, "You don't seem to be the violent type. If you agree to behave yourself, then we'll leave you with the nurse. She has a panic button she can call us with if necessary, then we start getting nasty. Do you understand?" John thought about it and reasoned that there appeared no chance of escape and, anyway, things would be worse if he did escape as he'd be certain to be caught again, so gave his promise of good behaviour. The two guards left him with the nurse. She handed him a large plastic bag with his name on, and a smaller bag. "I want you to take off all of your clothes, and I do mean all, placing your shoes in the small bag and then inside the large bag and folding your clothes up neatly into the large bag. Your underwear can go in the bin here," the nurse said, pointing to a large metal waste bin with a yellow plastic sack inside. John was very embarrassed to be stripped naked in front of the young nurse. This was, in fact, deliberate, as forcing him to be naked in the presence of females was designed to unsettle him and throw him off balance. Once he was naked, and his clothes packed away, the nurse sealed the bag with a special tie. "We'll save these for when you are sent out of here at the end of your treatment." With that, she opened a door opposite from where he had come in and directed John to follow her. Next door was a doctor's examination room with a lady doctor. She instructed him to sit down on the plastic chair beside her. "I need to check your medical suitability for this therapy. If I am not happy with your medical condition, you will be returned to the court for a different sentence. Now I have some questions for you, which you need to answer truthfully." With that, she proceeded to ask him about his own health, medical conditions which ran in the family, whether he smoked and, if so, how many, and so on. These all seemed standard enough until she asked him if he ever wet the bed at night. John was quite taken aback by this and assured her that he definitely did not ever wet his bed. "Let's say, 'not yet', then," came the doctor's cryptic answer. John started to ask about what was to happen to him, but the doctor told him that he would find out later. She was not about to tell him, no matter how much he asked. Again, the question and answer about bedwetting was designed to confuse and worry him. After she'd completed the questionnaire, she carried out the standard sort of physical examination, listening to his chest, checking his testes had descended properly, blood pressure and, very embarrassing, providing a sample of urine as the nurse, who had been there all the time, held a glass urinal for him to pass urine into. He was so embarrassed that the doctor had to turn the taps on full before he managed to provide the required specimen. In the corner of the room was a shower. The nurse had put on a plastic apron and rubber gloves before telling John to stand in the shower. The doctor, meanwhile, left to get ready for the next stage which she would be required for. The nurse stuck plastic patches over his eyes, then proceeded to spray him from head to foot with a foam from a large aerosol can. John was asked to turn round and then to hold his arms out from his body and to stand with his legs apart as she sprayed his armpits and between his legs. She had already told John to keep his mouth closed and not to ask questions as he wouldn't get answers anyway. She waited fifteen minutes as John stood there as instructed. She did compliment him on his co-operation, saying that he'd have been forcibly held down otherwise and would have found it a much more unpleasant experience. After the fifteen minutes had passed, she pulled the shower curtain around the shower area and turned it on. John was expecting that it would be cold, but was pleasantly warm. She ordered him to wash the foam off his head first and then, when it was all off, he could remove the patches from his eyes. As he rubbed his hair, it felt like it was coming away and soon his head felt bald. What was happening to him? He removed the patches to see all his hair from his head in the bottom of the shower area. He rubbed the foam off the rest of him as all his hair came away leaving him completely hairless, except for his eyebrows which had been covered by the patches. The nurse handed him a large bath sheet and told him to dry himself. Once dry, he asked about something to cover him. "You are fine as you are," the nurse laughed. She then told him to lie down on the bed with his back towards her and his bottom near the edge of the bed and knees up to his chest. The mattress was plastic with an incontinence pad for him to rest his bottom on. The nurse turned away, then came back with a bottle with a nozzle covered by a cap. She removed the cap, then, with one hand lifting his right buttock up to expose more of his perineal area, she pushed the pre-lubricated nozzle of the bottle into his anus. "This is an enema to empty out your lower bowel. I'm going to squeeze some liquid into you which will make you want to go to the toilet rather urgently in a few minutes. You have to hold it for at least fifteen minutes before I let you go to the toilet. Is that understood? If you don't, I'll do it again and use some equipment to make sure you hold it" John agreed that he did understand as she squirted the whole bottle of Fleet phosphate enema into him. After ten minutes, John was fighting to hold it and some started to trickle out down his buttock. The nurse sighed, "I did warn you." She inserted the nozzle of another Fleet enema and squirted it inside him, followed by an inflatable butt plug which she had ready lubricated, sure that she'd get her change to use it. As soon as she'd removed the enema nozzle, she pushed the rounded end of the butt plug against his anal sphincter and forced it through as far as the shield which prevented further insertion. She promptly squeezed the bulb connected to the plug four times to inflate the rubber balloon inside him to contain the enema, John gave a cry of pain as it expanded inside him. "I did warn you!" she said. "That's a further twenty minutes you'll have to hold that now!" All through this, John was pleased that he had his back to the nurse as he was sporting a huge erection - the butt plug was pressing against his prostate. He thought the nurse couldn't see, but she was smiling to herself at the very natural reaction to all that was happening. At the end of twenty minutes more, she produced a stainless steel bedpan and instructed John to sit on it. Of course, his erection was glaringly obvious and he was blushing a bright red colour from embarrassment. The nurse deflated the butt plug, instructing him to clench his sphincter muscles tightly until she'd removed the plug. With a swift pull, it was out and away to the sink to be washed. John was amazed at the fluid and stool pouring from him, not realising that the phosphate enema was an osmotic laxative, pulling fluid into his colon. After a while, still embarrassed by the nurse watching him, he told her that he'd completely finished. She helped him to his feet, then told him to put his feet apart, hands on the bed and lean forward. To his even greater embarrassment, she used wet wipes to wash between his legs as well as his genitals. When she'd done, he was told to stand there and wait for her. She went to the doctor's desk and phoned the doctor to say that he was ready now for her. The doctor asked her to bring him in. She opened a door leading out of the doctor's room into a room which looked more like an operating theatre. John was now really scared. he started to ask what they were going to do to him, but was shushed and told that all would be explained in a few minutes and he didn't want to have to be restrained by the guards, did he? The doctor was wearing a surgical gown and mask, and the nurse went to wash her hands and put both gown and mask on, with a sterile pair of rubber gloves to finish off. "Now, John," the doctor said, "I want you to lie down on that table, head that end and knees drawn up as you had just now for your enema." John looked into her eyes, seeing the hardness there and realising that he had to obey or he'd suffer. He climbed onto the table and assumed the requested position. As soon as he was lying there, the nurse pulled straps across his hips and chest to hold him down. After that, she put a blood pressure cuff round one arm, a pulse oximeter over one finger of his other hand and three electrodes to monitor heart activity. The doctor inserted a cannula in the back of John's hand while the nurse held it firmly to stop him from moving. The cannula was connected to a litre of saline which was run through slowly. Next the nurse went up to John and put a clip on his nose so he had to open his mouth to breathe. As soon as he did that, she inserted a mouth gag with a hole in it which went into his mouth and looked somewhat like a baby's pacifier. Once in his mouth, she strapped it behind his head so he couldn't get it off as his hands were restrained under the straps. "At last!" the doctor said, "No more questions from him. Swab him please, nurse." The nurse swabbed the base of his spine with iodine based antiseptic. The doctor took a hypodermic syringe filled with lidocaine and inserted into John's spine below his pelvis into the coccyx. First she inserted the needle through the skin, then angled it up towards his head to insert if further to infiltrate the cauda equina - the 'horse's tail' of nerves as they fanned out from the spine. John was panicking at this stage and began to panic even more when he felt a initially tingling, then a complete loss of sensation below his waist. The nurse pulled out the arm boards from the operating table, undid the straps and both the nurse and doctor rolled John onto his back, strapping him down across his chest and fastening his arms to the arm boards so he was spread out with his arms wide apart. The nurse plugged the lithotomy poles into the table and lifted one of John's feet around the outside of the padded pole and hung it in the straps fastened to the top of the pole. His other leg was positioned the same way so that his legs were up and spread apart. The nurse lowered the end of the operating table so John's bottom was right up to the edge of the table. "Let's start with a number 30 French Gauge catheter, nurse. He looks as if that should pass easily." The doctor took up a PVC rigid disposable catheter and opened the sterile packet while the nurse took a syringe of Instillagel and, taking John's now limp penis in one hand, inserted the tip of the syringe into his urethra, squeezed the top of his penis around the tip of the syringe and squirted the whole contents of the syringe into his urethra. The Instillagel was both lubricant and antiseptic in this case as its local anaesthetic properties were not required because of the caudal block which the doctor had inserted into John's spine to numb him from the waist down. The doctor held the catheter in her sterile gloves and inserted a tube leading to a bottle of glycine irrigation fluid hanging from a drip stand. The nurse held his penis pointing towards his front as the doctor slid the catheter down his urethra and through his prostate. On feeling the sudden resistance as she reached his prostate and then the lack of resistance as the catheter tip entered his bladder, she opened the valve on the irrigation fluid to fill John's bladder and expand it. "The 30 FG fits nicely, nurse." The doctor turned off the valve having allowed about half a litre to fill his bladder and started to withdraw the catheter. As it came out of his penis, the nurse squeezed tight to keep the fluid inside his bladder as the caudal block would have made him incontinent of urine otherwise. The doctor took a size 30 FG introducer filled with the bladder stent and inserted it into John's urethra again while the nurse held his penis to prevent the fluid leaking out around the introducer. Again the doctor felt the resistance as the introducer passed through his prostate and then the lack of resistance as it passed through into the bladder. She held the introducer with one hand while she pushed the inner rod which held the stent free of the tube of the introducer. As the stent was released, the sharp barbs popped out into place. She pulled back on the outer tubing leaving the rod holding the stent. She gently pulled back on the rod which was hollow, but closed on the outside end. Inside the rod were two nylon threads. Again, as the rod emerged, the nurse gripped his penis tightly to prevent the fluid leaking out. The two yellow nylon threads could be seen emerging from the tip of John's penis. The doctor took hold of these and pulled gently. The stent slid into place and the barbed hooks dug into the sphincter muscle of his bladder to prevent it from slipping out of place. Because of the clever design of this stent, John was now fully incontinent of urine. His bladder outlet was permanently open, as long as the stent was in place, so, as the urine trickled down from his kidneys, it would flow straight out of his bladder. John could see little of these proceedings but he fought against the gag in his mouth to try to protest, but just muffled grunts could be heard. Once the doctor felt real resistance to further movement, she gave the threads a hard tug to make sure the barbs were fully into the muscle. Releasing one thread, she pulled on the other which turned out to be a single thread hooked around inside the stent to allow it to be placed properly. The nurse held a urinal around John's penis and released her pressure as his bladder emptied. She then placed a folded pad made from terry nappies over his penis to soak up any urine flowing out of John. Now the doctor put a stool between John's legs and sat there with a syringe in hand. the nurse swabbed his perineal region (around his anus) with the antiseptic, then the doctor started injecting Botox into John's sphincter muscle, working her way round giving a series of injections close together into the muscle. As she did so, she could see the Botox relaxing the sphincter muscle as it began to gape open. The doctor put down the syringe, while the nurse took up a tube of lubricating gel and squirted some on the doctor's fingers and the rest around and inside John's back passage. The doctor made a cone of her fingers and proceeded to push her fingers into his rectum, stretching the muscle and widening the opening. She actually managed to get the whole of her hand inside his rectum and then proceeded to make sure the muscle were well stretched, deliberately tearing them in the process so that they would heal open. Satisfied with her handiwork, she changed her gloves while the nurse wiped off the excess lubricating gel. Together, they raised the end of the operating table and lowered John's legs. The nurse picked up a thick pile of terry towelling nappies and folded them in the kite shape. Together they lifted John's hips off the table to allow them to slide the nappy under his still numb buttocks. The nurse expertly pulled the nappies up around him and fastened them with large safety pins. Then together they worked a large pair of clear plastic pants over John's legs and made sure that all of the nappy was inside the plastic pants. The doctor walked over to John's head. "You wanted to know about this rehabilitation programme you're on and now is the time to tell you. I have just put something inside your bladder which will make you wet yourself like a baby. No, even worse than a baby - you'll have no control whatsoever." The doctor smiled as she saw John's eyes go wide at this terrible news. "It may be reversible when we take the stent out after your sentence is up, but, as you're one of the first and we haven' had anyone finish their sentence, we're not sure about that. In the same way, I have injected your muscles in your bottom with Botox so they're paralysed. That means you'll be incontinent of stool as well: you'll soil yourself like a baby too! Again, since I've also stretched the muscles there as far as they'll go, that too may not be reversible. This mans that you'll be in nappies and plastic pants all the time you're on this rehabilitation course. You'll be changed by the nurses as if you are a baby. Yes, it is designed to be humiliating for you. That's the idea! You'll learn that misbehaviour has consequences and you're in the midst of those now. But that's not all! In a moment, we'll prepare you for the next stage. I'll give you a drug through your iv. line which will make your susceptible to hypnotism. We'll strap headphones over your ears and regress you to a helpless baby, but you'll still be aware of who you are and how old you are even though you won't be able to walk and just cry like a baby. After a time of this, we'll gradually bring you back to your proper age, but make sure you behave properly at each stage. Misbehaviour moves you back one stage and bad misbehaviour can take you right back to the beginning where you'll be shortly. Oh yes, I forgot to say, we decide how long you'll be here. You don't get released until we're all happy you know how to behave properly!" The nurse put a hood over his head, feeding the outlet from his gag through a hole in the front of the hood. The hood contained headphones like a early flying helmet, but had no eye-holes so John couldn't see. Once the hood was fastened tightly around his head and face, the nurse connected the headphones to the CD player, set on repeat, to start the hypnosis procedure. The doctor added a hypnotic drug to his saline iv. to relax him and make him more compliant, Once done, a couple of helpers were summoned to take John to his crib in the nursery. The doctor turned to the nurse, "I think he'll be putty in our hands very quickly, don't you?" "Oh yes," the nurse laughed, "He'll hate it and soon submit to our conditioning." The next period of time (John had no idea how long it lasted, but it was actually two weeks) passed in total confusion. He remembered the drugged feeling and the complete disorientation from not being able to see and the constant whispering in his ears from the hypnosis CD. He knew his nappies had been changed from time to time as the feeling had returned to his legs and lower half, firstly as pins and needles, then gradually normal sensation. The times he was changed and fed through the tube connected to the gag in his mouth varied - deliberately to disorientate him. He was aware of his dry nappy becoming wet and soiling it as he could no longer stop himself from doing that. He was turned from time to time, but each time, restraints were fastened to wrists and ankles to stop himself from moving too much. He cried to himself with the thought of how degraded he'd become. Suddenly, one day, the voices in his ears stopped and the hood was removed from his head. He was lying in a crib in a darkened room with a nurse leaning over him. "It's dark in here to allow your eyes to become accustomed to the light," the nurse said to him. She slowly opened the blinds and he could look down to see himself naked apart form the plastic pants and nappies which ballooned around his waist. She removed the gag from his mouth and he was able to shut his jaws for the first time since he'd arrived there. The nurse spoke to him again, "Do you know where you are and why you're here?" "Yes," John replied as best he could, "I'm at the old mental hospital because I'm being punished for being bad." "That's right, and that's a good start towards your rehabilitation that you realise that you have been bad. Now look at me and listen carefully." The nurse spoke some words three times and John suddenly felt control leave him. He could feel his wet and soiled nappies around his bottom and the fact that he was hungry and thirsty, so he did was natural - he wailed like a baby. The nurse smiled at him, "We can regress you to the different stages by just saying the right words. Your conditioning has worked. So I'll now change and feed you to settle you down again. You'll be like this for some time until we think you're used to being dependent again and needing to have people to care for you." With that, she dropped the side of the crib since John could not walk or crawl at the stage he'd been regressed to. She placed a pad under him and changed his soiled and wet nappy. She carefully creamed him as urine trickled from him as the stent held his bladder open. Once she'd changed his nappies, she pulled his plastic pants back up, pulled up the side of the crib in case 'baby' rolled out and went to wash her hands. When she came back, she was holding a large baby bottle with rubber teat. She opened the side of the crib and lifted John up to lie him across her lap. She then placed the teat in his mouth and he sucked greedily at it. "I know you're hungry and thirsty, but the part in you needs to be aware that we lace your drinks with laxatives from time to time to keep you in a messy nappy. We need you to hate being like this - powerless and completely dependent, yet knowing what is happening to you. We can bring you back to this stage at any time just by saying the words, so you know just how much power we have over you." John spent two weeks like this and hated every minute. He could think and knew that he wanted to talk, yet all he could utter were the babblings of a little baby interspersed with the wails when his nappy was very wet or messy, or he was just hungry or thirsty. After the two weeks, one of the nurses changed him and he was lifted onto a padded mat on the floor with bricks and other baby toys there. There was another baby there, a girl, who was playing with the toys. The nurse said a different set of words to him and he found he could move his arms and legs in a more coordinated manner - he could crawl, but he was very weak from his muscles being out of use. He started playing with the bricks too for something to do. The girl snatched a brick from him and hit him with it. He burst out crying with a huge wail of anguish. The nurse went over to the girl and whispered in her ear so John couldn't hear. Immediately the girl flopped down uncoordinatedly as she was regressed back a stage. The nurse turned to John, "I know you can understand what I'm saying to you. See what happens when you misbehave. Susie here will spend another two weeks as a helpless baby until she learns to control herself better. You don't want that do you? By the way, this is her third time. If this happens again, we may just leave her like this for some months until she's really learnt the lesson!" John really did try to behave. To his great surprise, as he was progressed through the toddler stage, he began to like being in nappies. He enjoyed the attention of being changes, the washing, wiping dry, creaming and just the human contact. He had been so independent in his previous existence, but now he was finding that he enjoyed being looked after in such an intimate way. The nurses also gave him a bottle to drink from, even though, at the toddler stage, he could manage a cup. They cuddled him while he drank from his bottle which they held for him. He so much enjoyed snuggling close as they gave him the drinks. Gradually, he found that being in nappies and plastic pants gave him a sense of security - no need to worry about needing the toilet, it was all taken care of. One day, he was led in to the main office of the director - the doctor who'd 'fixed' his bladder and anal sphincter. She spoke some words to him and John suddenly found himself back to his proper age. "John, you've really made an effort to behave. We haven't regressed you once and I think you're ready to go back to the normal world. I need to remove the stent from your bladder by operating on you under anaesthetic again to remove the stent, so we can do that tomorrow. A couple of days to recuperate and you'll be ready to go home. You will still need to wear nappies and plastic pants as you may never recover full continence. Your parents signed a waver confirming that they accepted this as a possibility for you." John spoke, "Please, do you have to remove the stent? I'm so much happier now that I used to be before. I know I'm wetting and soiling my nappies, but, while I'm wearing them, it's a constant reminder to me that I need to remember how I used to be so I never fall back to those bad ways." The doctor laughed, "Of course you can, John. It is your choice. In which case, you can go home tomorrow. I'll contact your parents to collect you. Now then, we'll supply you with nappies, pins and plastic pants." She opened a drawer in her desk. "We can give you the clear ones you've been wearing or you can have these pretty printed ones in nursery print with teddy bears and animals on." John's heart leapt! The plastic pants she showed him were in yellow, pint and blue and were so lovely! The doctor saw his face and smiled. "Let's put a pair on you now instead of your clear pants! Would you like that?" "Yes, please," came John's immediate reply. She got him to stand up and pulled his clear pants off him. As he'd just been changed before being taken in to see the doctor, the nappies were just damp and didn't need changing. She shook out the plastic pants with that rustle which only plastic pants make. She held them open at the waist and invited John to step into them. He could see himself in the mirror and fell in love with the printed pants immediately. This was all part of the plan. After all, a street thug could hardly be that wearing nursery print plastic pants and wet, soiled nappies, could he? There's no 'street cred' in that! The next day, now dressed in normal clothes with a blue pain of plastic nursery print pants on top of his nappies, John was ready to go home. He didn't know that his parents had arrived some time before to talk to the doctor before John was brought in to receive some special instructions. His parents had had a delivery of nappies, plastic pants and a large changing table for his bedroom, as well as one or two other items. John was called in and rushed over to hug his parents and apologise for the way he'd been. He burst into tears as he said how sorry he was for causing them so much trouble. At home, John was shown his bedroom with the changing table, nappy buckets for soiled nappies and plastic pants in separate bins. He was also shown a cupboard filled with lovely soft white terry towelling nappies and the lovely plastic pants. His mum also showed him the new crib he had to sleep in, complete with waterproof mattress in case of 'little' accidents. That night, his mother changed him and put him in a footed sleeper with a zip up the back. John was surprised by this, but didn't argue. It was in blue with a sleepy bunny on the front. In his new 'incarnation;' he could appreciate the cute bunny. His mum sat on his crib and patted her lap. He dutifully came over and sat on it. She cuddled him to her as he rested his head on her shoulder. His father came in holding a large bottle complete with rubber teat. His wife took it from him and held it for John to drink from. As he drank, she whispered some words in his ear as she regressed him to a toddler again. They'd enjoy looking after their 'new little boy' in his rabbit suit, wet nappies and plastic pants. John? John was happy and contented, too. Life just couldn't be better!
