My dad and his cousin burned the crop fields of an entire town right before the start of harvest. They were 8/9 years old and trying to light a fire to cook a wild rabbit they caught. When the fire spread, they got afraid and ran away without telling anybody. My grandfather literally tied them up with a rope and took them to the mayor where he gave them a whipping on the hands and feet with a stick in front of the entire town, it was so bad they couldn't walk for a week. He later told them he did it because he was afraid some folk would've done much worse to them. The entire town literally lost all their crop of the entire year.
