I saw another report on this on the news last night, right after a report on the latest case of E. coli.

A child's sidewalk lemonade stand in front of her house is cute. A real effort to sell a food product at a large public event is a completely different thing.

While the child probably learned a much more realistic lesson about commerce, this was clearly inappropriate. The parent should have known better and should be apologizing to the county health official for putting her in a situation where she had no choice but to make a little girl cry.
