Why does the police report note that the girl had a permit to sell cookies? If she didn't have a permit would it have made it legal to assault her?

Seems like that detail helps with establishing the facts relates to this incident. The permit application corrobates details of this incident.

While I seriously believe the 56-year-old guy that assaulted the young girl who was selling Girl Scout cookies in the MBTA Ashmont subway stop platform is a real sicko and needs to be put behind bars for awhile, I seriously wonder about the idea of letting a young kid sell Girl Scout Cookies in an MBTA stop, since it puts a girl that age in an especially vulnerable position.

It's not the girl's fault that sicko attacked her. I tend to blame the Girl Scout troop leader(s) who let the girl sell the Girl Scout cookies on the Ashmont MBTA subway stop platform in the first place.

Parents are worried about sending their kids on the MBTA ? The plaza at Ashmont has become a hangout for sickos.

on the north side of the station, near Peabody Square there are usually 3-4 guys standing at the doors chanting, 'cab' gypsy cab' and dangling their keys. If there are any T police near by they are usually in a pack talking or chatting with each other instead of looking around. I've contacted the T police several times but nothing gets done. This station needs better coverage
