I could go on for pages.
It only seems that way to you because you only look for and post news having to do with small children, kittens and ponies.
for^^^ a thread about small chilren and ponies your geting so uptight,, now who's the whiner??
i post a thread about a kid who gets fined for selling burgers for charity and you go ballistic ,,gosh.. they have medication for such problems you know..
Another lie in the title of the thread. Some people are always looking for victims around here and the discussion about "effort" is ridiculous.
This boys parents must not be too bright to not know one needs a permit to sell food. My son wants to sell food too also bottled water and I'm looking into getting him a permit. He's 10. It's my job to make sure he follows applicable laws in these sorts of situations. So those of you arguing about the boy's "efforts" shouldn't be. The boy's parents were fined this ticket, not the boy. The boy is a minor and cannot be given a citation.
That isn't the point - he was making an effort - no matter what his motives were - and thus the title of the thread is accurate.
Lol... the bold part is right, which is why the thread is INaccurate. The effort is the selling of food, the motive is raising money for WWII vets.
If what you said was true and the effort was raising money for vets, he wouldn't have been fined if he was raising money for something else, like a PS3.

When did this begin? I feel like back in the day a kid didn't need a permit to set up a roadside lemonade stand. Now they probably have to file ten forms with ten different three-letter agencies

It always starts when someone sues someone for something. IN this case, someone could have sued a "kid with a lemonade stand" because he/she got sick from the unclean glass, or the rotten lemons used to make the lemonade.

Uh, its just one simple form and a filing fee. You get your permit that day (if you do it early enough, you can have it mailed to you). I just filled out a seller's permit for a space at a swap meet. $35
Its like getting a Hunting license or a camping permit.
