#2 Well, there's a neighborhood kid setting up a lemonade stand in her front yard (or at the corner) and then there's a parent putting a child on a major street to make enough money for the family to go to Disneyland. We're talking $56/person here, folks. When I had a lemonade stand as a kid, it was ten cents a glass, and if I made enough money to get ice cream (remember the ice cream man when he wasn't an arm of a major corporation or a Mexican?) or if I was lucky, a Star Wars figure.

I'm leaning towards "abusing children to make real money" and "trafficking up a major intersection" in this one.

#4 Sounds to me the parent was trying to teach her kid about earning money and the value of it. Standing with her kid is thwe only way to keep her safe. Instead the little girl learned about bureaucrats. The comment of not safe, a catch all and crap.

#5 There is no mind so small, and no temperament so petty and vindictive, as that of a low-level bureaucrat.
