Less than a month ago, 13 year-olds Kevin Graff and his friend Andrew DeMarchis' usual bake sale in a Chappaqua, New York park had an unexpected customer: local police.
New Castle Councilman Michael Wolfensohn had called the said police upon the boy's bake sale on the counts of them not possessing an official permit to sell goods to local residents. Kevin's mother stated that both are "good kids" and that the police call terrified them.
DeMarchis and Graff have not set up shop since the incident occured.
Local interviews with the New Castle Councilman provide statements that say that Wolfensohn admits he was a bit "extreme" on the boys, however that he still holds firm that "rules are rules."

Okay. This one is a FAIL. Seriously? Calling the FEDERAL AUTHORITIES on two kids selling brownies? SERIOUSLY?.........sigh. What has our great nation come to. Yes coming from a political figure i can understand how everything would and should be done by the book and how yes, rules are rules. But honestly. ARE YOU KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW? Calling the cops on two kids offering rice-krispies to locals at a park. Please tell me one thing WRONG with that statement. No wait, tell me one thing RIGHT. You say that is an easy task? WELL OF COURSE IT IS BECAUSE THIS IS A VERY NATURAL OCCURRENCE! For goodness sake two young boys are just getting involved in their community, selling cupcakes and goodies. I know if i was at a park with my friends or family that i would be a generous citizen, approach the (well) strategically located bake sale stand, and proceed to purchase a cookie for a very minimal payment.
Now see Mr. Wolfensohn (or anyone else) Is that such a threat to society? Were there any lives lost or in dangered in this horrid epidemic? No. I think not.
