I hope it wasn't the old-fashioned kind of toybox where kids inside can't breathe. :/ Modern commercial ones don't seal, and modern homemade ones should be well ventilated.
Once, during one of the MANY times my mom made me take my sister with me (and, this time, a friend) out on forays into the woods, we got sick of her slowing us down, and ditched her, figuring we'd come back to where we left her, then take her home.
When we got back, she was gone. In a gentle panic, we walked home, hoping she'd be there. She wasn't. Fortunatley, she'd wandered out of the woods near a friend's house, went there. They phoned mom.
That was one of the small handful of times I remember being very seriously punished -- hairbrush and grounding, if I recall correctly -- as a young child.
