Reproaching

To express disapproval of, criticism of, or disappointment in (someone).
To impute blame to (a person) for an action or fault; rebuke.
To find fault with (a person, group, etc.); blame; censure.

"A surprising number of children got away with things like scrumping apples and placing booby traps. But disobedience or defiance of authority, whether of parent, teacher, or any other adult was also taken particularly seriously, and likely to lead to moral reproach as well as physical punishment."
