Pea
My older sister could answer this question by detailing the time she purposely gave me surgical spirit to drink when I was very little resulting in a stomach pump (or whatever the correct procedure was called) or in fact the occasion when she ripped up one of my mum's silk scarves to tie me up in the car whilst my mum was in the shops and then claimed that a 'man did it', cue several hours with the police until she finally cracked and admitted everything. Strangely, I don't know if the police suggested that leaving two small kids in the car alone was not a particularly good idea but then it was the 70s and the Daily Mail hadn't 'discovered' noncery yet.
