NANNY-STATE: Mom Convited For Letting Daughter Draw On Rocks With Chalk

Posted on August 2, 2012 by Conservative Byte

Richmond, VA mom, Susan Mortensen is scheduled to serve 50 hours of community service for an unthinkable crime — she let her 4-year-old draw on rocks with sidewalk chalk.

After Mortensen was ticketed for vandalism in March, police said that there had been a problem with people painting on rocks and they were trying to crack down, WTVR reports. The 29-year-old mother’s friends were outraged. Following the incident, a group gathered outside the police headquarters and left their own chalk messages on the sidewalk.

Mortensen told WTVR that the instance has had a negative effect on her daughter. “She’s very scared of chalk for one …The protest we had did help with that, made her feel a little better. And she’s very nervous around cops,” she said.
