Design a memory-loss drug (a mild variation on
                       Rohypnol perhaps) for parents to administer to children
                       at their discretion. A child prone to copycat behaviour
                       such as repeating swear words when overheard could be
                       given a swift dose when such an incident occurs in the
                       hope that they would forget all about it.
