Japanese _shockingly_ is really into politeness, and thus I've found a million
different words for the English 'please'.

But I must ask, what would be the best word/phrase to use when begging. Like
when a child asks 'Please daddy don't go!', what is the Japanese equivalent to
the English's emphasising word 'please'?

If you do need an equivalent, probably it's お願い (casual) or お願いします (politer),
but I think Japanese small children use this far less often. To their parents,
they would usually say [ねえ](http://jisho.org/word/%E3%81%AD) (a general-
purpose attention-drawer word similar to "Hey" or "Come on"), or simply repeat
the "don't go" part.
