Patting down 6 year olds for stolen goods

So tonight I witnessed something a tad disturbing. I was at the supermarket checkout.

A mother who just finished her transaction had a conversation with her approximately 6 year old son, asking if he had stolen anything. He said he hadn't stolen anything, but the mother clearly said she didn't believe him.

The mother then proceeded to pat down her son checking his pockets for hot goods.

She didn't find anything.

Is this a normal occurance? Is this what I have to look forward to being a parent one day?
