Abstract
Historically, in mediaeval times, the epoch of childhood was less clearly defined. If babyhood was survived, all but the most favoured children became little adults and a convenient source of labour. Instances of the barbarous treatment of children, infanticide, exploitation, starvation, flogging and mutilation, abound (Mause, 1976) and until comparatively recently these seemed to have caused little public reaction.
