Kiddie vandals

Melbourne area rate-payers can sleep better at night knowing that their council is determined to win the war on graffiti:

Whitehorse Council has told White's Cafe owner Sally White to stop giving children chalk to draw on the 2m-wide footpath outside her cafe.

Ms White said a council officer told her there had been a resident complaint.

Asked to explain further, the council officer sent an email saying the children were breaching the graffiti act and Ms White needed to clean the drawings off the footpath.

What, no fine?
