'You're a traitor!' yelled the boy. 'You're a thought-criminal! You're a Eurasian spy! I'll shoot you, I'll vaporize you, I'll send you to the salt mines!'
Suddenly they were both leaping round him, shouting 'Traitor!' and 'Thought-criminal!' the little girl imitating her brother in every movement. It was somehow slightly frightening, like the gambolling of tiger cubs which will soon grow up into man-eaters. There was a sort of calculating ferocity in the boy's eye, a quite evident desire to hit or kick Winston and a consciousness of being very nearly big enough to do so. It was a good job it was not a real pistol he was holding, Winston thought.

Plant crime (real world no-victim "thought crime"), October 2010:
Two parents are facing drug charges after their child took their drugs to school and told a school officer his parents were breaking the law.
[snip]
Matthews Police say he reported his parents after a lesson about marijuana was delivered by a police officer who is part of the D.A.R.E. program, which teaches kids about the dangers of drugs, alcohol, and tobacco.
"Even if it's happening in their own home with their own parents, they understand that's a dangerous situation because of what we're teaching them," said Matthews Officer Stason Tyrrell. That's what they're told to do, to make us aware."

Police say both the 11-year old and a sibling have been removed from the parents' house by social services. Police say they are staying with relatives.

DARE. Big brother. Prison industrial complex. Same thing.
Yes children, destroy your parents' ability to pay for your upbringing after you probably ruin their careers. Big brother says so.
California, the "prophet on the burning shore," may lead us out of our current fascist hell as we enter the new age on November 2.
Yes on prop 19!
