You have just brought back a vivid memory for me Cashman. I was about 4 years old & my mum realised I had stolen 8 old pennies to buy sweets after being told I couldn't have any. When my dad found out he took me to the police station & had me locked in a cell!! It was probably no more than a minute but felt like hours. I never stole anything again. If that was done to a child today there would probably be a public outcry..... But it worked for me.
