What do you mean keep them under control?
They were six year old kids playing a game and it was the over reaction of adults that caused the problem.

Surely it is up to the parents to prevent their kids from placing a "radioactive" sticker on anything they are going to play with out on the street??!!
The adults reacted perfectly responsibly in this case!

As a parent I would never let my kids play with radio active materials!

I worked with them (lab) for a couple of decades, and my parents didn't seem to mind.
