An Ohio woman called cops to a park over an incident involving a 2-year-old throwing sand, according to police.

On July 7, Bay Village police responded to a call at Play-in-Bay playground, according to a July 15 news release from the police department.

The woman told officers her 2-year-old daughter was throwing sand when the air blew the sand into another child’s face.

She was talking to her daughter when two other moms “accosted” her, police said. The moms thought the woman needed to do a better job paying attention to her daughter, according to the release.

The woman then called the police and told them she “felt insulted” by the moms’ comments.

Police told both parties to “keep to themselves” as their kids played.

Bay Village is about a 15-mile drive west of Cleveland.
