You know how people without children are not allowed on playgrounds (well, at least in New York City—there are signs everywhere)?

Well, a man without a child—and using his smartphone like a video camera—made his way onto a playground at Rocky Run Park playground near Arlington, Virgina. What was this creep doing? Filming children wearing masks and accusing their parents of “child abuse.”

One of the parents caught the man on video as he ranted and raved.
“Look at these kids — child abuse, child abuse, suffocation, suffocation,” the man says after claiming that he runs “a very popular YouTube channel.”
“You understand that most people are vaccinated right now?” the man says to the woman filming him. “Why are these kids in masks outside? You understand how harmful that is to their mental welfare?”
“Leave me alone, you’re stressing my baby,” the woman responds.

By the time police arrived on the scene, the man had already left.
One of the husbands of the moms who was harassed spoke with ARLnow and explained what happened: “All our children have been playing together since the pandemic and all wear masks, even though we the adults are fully vaccinated. This guy approached my wife and her friends when the kids got back to sip water,” he said.
“He starts yelling at them, that they were doing ‘child abuse’ for ‘forcing’ our kids to wear masks, and saying all that conspiracy theory speech. He starts filming our kids, and yelling… and as you can see in the video all children start running away from him. My wife call me and also called the police. Police arrived but he was already gone.”
“Cops were not too concerned, said filming kids is not illegal, but [advised] not to confront him,” he added.
Does this man know that young children are not able to be vaccinated yet? That even though adults are able to receive the vaccine, little ones—who basically live on playgrounds—are still at risk and should still be wearing their masks whenever possible?
Perhaps this guy is getting his information from the Fox News outrage factory where Tucker Carlson told viewers that, “Your response when you see children wearing masks when they play should be no different from your response to seeing someone beat a kid at Walmart.”
