Anti-masker's confrontations with California children investigated
The alleged harassment of Los Angeles County children by a mask opponent is being investigated by sheriff’s deputies.
The Crescenta Valley station of the sheriff’s office on Monday released a statement saying it was “aware” of one incident and would be investigating. Despite that acknowledgement, a group of parents showed up at the station Monday evening to call for more decisive action about unpleasant encounters they say have been going on for weeks.
A video circulating on social media — including Reddit’s Public Freakout forum — was reportedly recorded Thursday by a parent outside a shopping center in La Crescenta. A man wearing a T-shirt that says “Your mask makes you look stupid” shouts about mask wearers, insulting onlookers, using foul language and saying masks are child abuse.
