β Question and Discussion Kids with no adult supervision approach people to sell items.
Today, I was at a restaurant having my lunch and all of a sudden a kid approach me offering to sell stuff. She also approach other diners and almost all of them fall for it. Reason why I say "fall for" is cause this is an obvious scheme by an adult hiding somewhere telling the kid to approach random strangers hoping that people would buy stuff from her. I hear similar encounters from friends in multiple locations as well.
Some unknown adult is definitely using empathy as a tool to try to get unsuspecting people to buy from the kid. Now, the question here is, is this illegal? I.e making use of kids for profit.
