The "Nine familial exterminations"

In which the punishment more than fits the crime: The punishment involved the execution of close and extended family members.[3][20] These included:
The criminal's living parents
The criminal's living grandparents
Any children the criminal may have, over a certain age (which is usually variable depending on the time period)
Any grandchildren the criminal may have, over a certain age (which is usually variable depending on the time period)
Siblings and siblings-in-law (the siblings of the criminal and that of his or her spouse, in the case where he or she is married)
Uncles of the criminal, as well as their spouses
The criminal himself. - La Wik

Your Say

There was some logic in that, back then. A kid in the 50's had most of his family within about 10 miles and everybody looked out for everybody else. Family traditions were passed down and errant children were kept in check and Uncle Bob the drunk was scorned and chastised. Now, people are scattered to the winds and nobody really knows what anybody else is doing though everyone cheats everyone else by claiming they're staying *connected". yeah right

You can't fake reality and in your core you know it.

I remember growing up back in the '50's. No kid got away with anything because some parent was watching and would give you a swat with a broom. If you were really acting out , your father heard about it and THAT was going to be serious.

After the farm chores were done, we roamed in a cloud of kids everywhere.

If you want to kill vermin you must kill the nest.
