The USPS had to explicitly ban the shipping of children in 1914, because people, ya know, shipped their kids, with stamps.

The Beagues paid 15 cents for [their infant son's] stamps and an unknown amount to insure him for $50, then handed him over to the mailman, who dropped the boy off at his grandmother’s house about a mile away.
