    “Selling water illegally without a permit” Dumbest sentence I’ve ever heard
  • @Phantah
    “Illegally selling bottled water” that is the single most stupid thing I have ever heard
  • @AmethystEyes
    On top of how despicable she is for calling the police on an 8 YEAR OLD selling water to help pay for a Disney trip, “Permit Patty” took away time and efforts from emergency services that could have gone to others in real emergencies like a car accident, fire, or domestic violence. I’m happy that little girl got to go to Disney. ❤

    Why is this woman crying she brought this on herself
  • @CubeSpot
    She is crying about threats but threatened a little girl.
  • @Psilo10538
    it wasn’t an apology, she just doubled down.
  • @palomavano4705
    She breaks the spirit of a child. That is a terrible thing to do to a child.
  • @nordo9403
    "The whole world is gonna see you boo" She wasn't lying.
  • @robinmeehan5900
    “I tRiEd tO Be pOLItE” B R U H U literally called the police on an 8 year old RIGHT AWAY
  • @rubedogg6969
    2:35 There’s a girl illegally screaming that she’s going to Disneyland.😂
  • @maval4537
    It is often very calculating when someone comes up with an apology only after they've publicly made a fool of themselves and embarrassed them; true repentance comes from within the heart and you don't need to be told by the world that you made a mistake, it's a matter of realizing it... So you can't blame the family for not accepting the apology....
  • @shariqarain
    I just realized now. I’m a criminal. All those years of lemonade stands without a permit... god have mercy on my soul...
  • “It was a hot day” yeah why tf do you think she’s selling cold water to people
  • @cronezone787
    "Illegally selling water without a permit." What was this lady hoping to accomplish, getting this child arrested?
  • @jameswest8280
    Flowers illegally drinking your water should not be tolerated.
  • @AM-di4pq
    "I'm getting hate mail" You should have minded your business, now the whole world is in yours.
  • @fede1101.
    She's just mad because the little girl makes more money than her.
  • @AmethystEyes
    Could you imagine calling the police on a 8 year old selling water? Or one of those lemonade stands or Girl Scout cookies? Ridiculous! I’m glad everyone who saw this agreed to how ridiculous this woman was. And that people came together to help pay for that sweet girl’s trip to Disney.
