California Man Incensed Over Girl’s Lemonade Stand Calls Cops– Doesn’t Get the Response He Hoped for
Faithwire ^ | 07/21/2017 | Dan Andros

It’s always exciting as a parent when your child demonstrates the desire and drive to work hard and earn something.

Running a lemonade stand is one of the simplest, best ways for youngsters to dip their toes into the working world.

Like many, my kids have created stands on several occasions, and it’s inspiring to watch them learn and grow through the experience. No book can teach your kid the value of a dollar. Working outside in the hot sun all day long most certainly can.

So, one California dad was pleased when his daughter decided she’d try to take advantage of the summer sunshine and earn a few bucks. Richard LaRoche says his daughter got set up and was barely underway, when a man showed up. According to LaRoche:

"The man just pulled up next to her and asked for her business license and then told her ‘I’m calling the police’ and then got on the phone and began speaking as if he was talking to police. She was so scared that she came home crying and sobbing and said she didn’t want to go to jail."

Probably 95% chance, I’d say.

Probably some HOA goon.

We had one; embezzled the money. They didn’t put her in jail. I guess she paid it back.

Still, your assessment seems correct.

I suggested to my girls that they put up a sign saying their lemonade was “free” and add the note “donations accepted”. Ashley misunderstood and wrote “expected” instead of “accepted”, but they still made close to $50 on a hot afternoon next to rush hour traffic.

Why? If I was going to profile based on so little information I would guess older white male. Just a guess.

That's a clever misunderstanding. "Expected" is better.

...Sorry, you might not know any black people personally...this is a white liberal woman type of thing. Minimum of 5 angry bumper stickers likely on her car, too.

What kind of a father lets his daughter set up a lemonade stand completely out of his supervision? It’s completely possible this is made up.

My guess too, only I would add “older white LIBERAL man”. I would put money on that.
