Punishment
They punished the children by scaring them with a scarecrow where it was unsafe to play,
They sometimes had a masked man chase the children until they ran home.
They would get a scolding and in rare times a scolding in front of the village.
A mother would say, "keep still or the owl will get you," and then she would open the door flap and called into the night, "come in owl. Come and get these children who will not keep still".
