In Scientology, the Security Check Children is a confessional auditing procedure designed to be applied to children aged 6 to 12. L. Ron Hubbard, founder of Scientology, issued the security check as HCO Bulletin of 21 September 1961, also known as HCO WW Security Form 8.[1]

The child is put on the E-meter, holding a can (the electrode of the E-meter) in each hand. If a question gives a read on the E-meter, the child is questioned further as to the reason for the read.

3. HAVE YOU EVER TAKEN SOMETHING BELONGING TO SOMEBODY ELSE AND NEVER GIVEN IT BACK?
4. HAVE YOU EVER PRETENDED TO BE SICK (ILL)?
5. HAVE YOU EVER MADE YOURSELF SICK (ILL) OR HURT YOURSELF TO MAKE SOMEBODY SORRY?
