Hi, Ed, I live in Hamilton and yesterday when school was closed I was visited by three schoolchildren asking me to buy candy for their school. Where are their parents? Don’t they know this is why we have the Megan Kanka Law and why sex offenders have to register? These kids are not supposed to go door to door. They are supposed to sell it to their family, and if they can’t sell it, they can’t sell. Period.

Stranger With Candy

What has the world come to that a kid can no longer safely extort complete strangers by shaming them into buying a $2 candy bar to support teacher in-service workshops?
