Legality
Petticoating a child is illegal in many Islamic states. It is considered highly immoral to punish a child in this fashion, but still exists in many of the Commonwealth states in a small extent as a legal practice as long as the child is not being sexually abused. The thin line between petticoating and child sexual abuse has been a serious factor in petticoating, and has at least one occasion, led to a child sexual abuse charge.
Petticoating as a sexual-roleplay activity is generally considered legal, with the exception of going into public in an obscene fashion, causing public disturbances or indecent exposure.
