    That person has (at max) assaulted the child, not the observer

      The person is a bully and the only thing that stops bullies is immediate consequences of their actions

        ‘Consequences of their actions’ would be removal from the park and subsequent ban, not having to go to court to sue the person who assaulted them for injuries and damages

          I’ll settle for them getting dinged for violent threats before they are allowed around children.

            It would honestly affect them more if they were banned from the park, that is the scariest thing in the world to them

              I would bet that charges for terroristic threats or threats to minors would have more long reaching effects.
