The museum could not have been nicer about it, but bottom line, the dad should have been watching his 4 year old much more closely. That would have been unlikely to happen when I was 4, late 1950s. I would have gotten my bare legs beaten with a switch from this honeysuckle bush in the back yard. Or maybe a leather belt would have done the talking.

I would have gotten my bare legs beaten with a switch A switch that I, myself, had to get off the tree. And if said switch was too flimsy, mom would use a 2x4. (Yes, hyperbole)

Same here, mid-’60s, the belt or a switch made from a willow branch.
Of course if the crime was serious anything ready to hand served, a shoe, a broom, etc.
LOL
