It’s worse than you think. I understand the child paid for the candy in a series of transactions to evade the school limit on cash transfers over one dollar. First a postal money order for 25 cents, then a wire for 50 cents and then a quarter was left on a table near the candy pusher. Then he paid for the pusher’s train fare from NYC to New Haven, so now it is a federal matter. I’m glad they caught him before he became a hardened criminal or the Governor of a neighboring state.
:-) Sounds like we’re dealing with a very serious crime here. Good thing this juvenile delinquent was stopped before he starting buying the harder stuff, like Jawbreakers or (gasp!) Rock Candy. (It’s pure sugar, you know.)
