          In medieval times, a whipping boy was a boy raised with a prince or nobleman, who was whipped when the prince/nobleman misbehaved.

          In modern times, the term "whipping boy" has come to mean a scapegoat, or something that is a frequent recipient of pain or punishment.

          It was the horrible practise of assigning a young boy to take a "betters" just punishment...barbaric!
