Ohio Mom Calls Police After Being Allegedly 'Accosted' by Fellow Moms When Her 2-Year-Old Threw Sand at Playground
A mother called the Bay Village, Ohio, police on July 7, saying her child threw sand in the air that blew into another child's face at a playground
Two other moms allegedly "accosted" the caller and told her she needed to watch her kid better, police said
Police arrived at the scene and advised the moms to keep to themselvesA seemingly ordinary incident at an Ohio playground prompted police intervention between quarreling mothers.
In a Monday, July 14, news release, the Bay Village Police Department reported that officers were summoned to Play-in-Bay playground on July 7 at about 2:40 p.m. local time.
Police said a mother called to report that her 2-year-old threw sand in the air that blew into another child's face.
The caller was talking to her child when two other moms allegedly 'accosted' her about what happened involving the sand, and the caller felt 'insulted' by the other moms' comments, according to police.
In response, the two other moms told the caller that she needed to watch her kid better, the news release continued.
As a result, both sides were told by authorities to keep to themselves while their children continued to play, police concluded.
PEOPLE contacted the Bay Village Police for additional information on Wednesday, July 16, but they did not immediately respond.
According to the Bay Village Foundation's website, Play-in-Bay was built in 1995 and is billed as a place that 'has brought joy to thousands of young children and relief to parents looking for a safe space for their kids to play for hours.' Among its highlights are swings, slides, a pole climber and a sand box area.

Fact check: Trump calls to prosecute Beyoncé based on a nonexistent $11 million payment
President Donald Trump over the weekend called for the prosecution of music superstar Beyoncé – based on something that did not actually happen. Trump claimed in a social media post that Beyoncé broke the law by supposedly getting paid $11 million for her endorsement of Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris during an October 2024 event in Houston. But there is simply no basis for Trump's claim that Beyoncé received an $11 million payment related to the Harris campaign, let alone for the endorsement in particular. Federal campaign spending records show a $165,000 payment from the Harris campaign to Beyoncé's production company, which the campaign listed as a 'campaign event production' expense. A Harris campaign spokesperson told Deadline last year that they didn't pay celebrity endorsers, but were required by law to cover the costs connected to their appearances. Regardless of the merits of this particular $165,000 expenditure, it's far from an $11 million one. Nobody has ever produced any evidence for the claim of an eight-figure endorsement payment to Beyoncé since the claim that it was '$10 million' began spreading last year among Trump supporters on social media. Fact-check websites and PolitiFact looked into the '$10 million' claim during the campaign and did not find any basis for it. The White House did not immediately respond to a CNN request late Saturday for any evidence of Trump's $11 million figure. When Trump previously invoked the baseless figure, during an interview in February, he described his source in the vaguest of terms: 'Somebody just showed me something. They gave her $11 million.' A Harris spokesperson referred CNN on Saturday to a November social media post by Beyoncé's mother Tina Knowles, who called the claim of a $10 million payment a 'lie' and noted it was taken down by Instagram as 'False Information.' 'When In Fact: Beyonce did not receive a penny for speaking at a Presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harrris's (sic) Rally in Houston,' Knowles wrote. A spokesperson for Beyoncé told PolitiFact in November that the claim about a $10 million payment is 'beyond ridiculous.' What Trump wrote Sunday Trump revived the false claim in a social media post published after midnight early Sunday morning in Scotland, where he is visiting. He wrote that he is looking at 'the fact' that Democrats 'admit to paying, probably illegally, Eleven Million Dollars to singer Beyoncé for an ENDORSEMENT.' Democratic officials actually reject the claim of an $11 million payment. The White House did not immediately respond to CNN's request for any evidence of a Democratic admission of such a payment. Trump went on to criticize other payments from the Harris campaign to organizations connected to prominent endorsers. He asserted without evidence that these payments were inaccurately described in spending records. And he wrongly asserted that it is 'TOTALLY ILLEGAL' to pay for political endorsements, though no federal law forbids endorsement payments. Trump concluded: 'Kamala, and all of those that received Endorsement money, BROKE THE LAW. They should all be prosecuted! Thank you for your attention to this matter.' Trump has repeatedly called for the prosecution of political opponents. His Saturday post about Harris and celebrity endorsements was an escalation from a post in May, when he said he would call for a 'major investigation' on the subject but did not explicitly mention prosecutions.
