6 YEAR OLD FACES $300 FINE FOR SIDEWALK CHALK 'GRAFFITI'

[+] ballot by UncleRandy
ACTIVE Oct 20,2007 - Mon Nov 19, 07

A 6 year old girl is facing a $300 fine for vandalism after drawing on the sidewalk with chalk:

a neighbor called 311 to report the “graffiti,” and the Department of Sanitation quickly sent a standard letter to Natalie’s mom, Jen Pepperman.

“PLEASE REMOVE THE GRAFFITI FROM YOUR PROPERTY,” the Sanitation Department warning letter read. “FAILURE TO COMPLY … MAY RESULT IN ENFORCEMENT ACTION AGAINST YOU.”

Many of you may think it's ridiculous for the DOS to threaten this little girl with a fine, but I think otherwise. *Chalking*, as the kids call it, is the first step to a life of crime.

It's true, first kids experiment with chalking, the next thing you know they're constructing lemonade stands without a building permit or a Certificate of Health. Soon after that they're raking leaves without a form 231.1 from the Ministry of the Environment, not paying unemployment dues and failing to declare their income to the I.R.S.

Forget it, little Suzie, the gigs up--you're going down!
