I always wondered, who buys fruit from these poor folk. I see them sometimes on the highway and I feel sorry for them. Imagine leaving your own country trying to make a home in a new land where it’s safe. But at the same time, you have to fight for your right, to party!
Growing up I never saw these clowns. Last few years, their seems to be thousands of them. Who are these parks clowns?
Same ones you see on subway, on street corners, near construction sites, outside train and ferry terminals... One can't get away from them.
Most are Mexican or South American "migrants" with nil other skills including limited English.
Anyone who has visited Mexico or various South American countries knows places are lousy with persons selling fruit, food, beverages, etc... on streets. Thus, it's not surprising same persons do what they know how to do once in USA.

I wasn’t referring to the illegal street vendors.

Using children to sell fruit or anything else on the street is child abuse. CPS should be notified and the parent/parents arrested.
The full story is that the fruit dealer was probably a lawbreaker who repeatedly disregarded: park rules, public safety laws, city laws, County laws, state laws, federal laws, immigration laws, labor laws, identification theft laws, free shelter rules, food and hygiene standards, assault laws, theft laws, resisting arrest laws, tax evasion, subway rules, child endangerment and probably more.
