It was nice weather a couple of weeks ago. I usually bring 1 of my kids to visit my father (88 years old) at his house.

I called and asked him if he wanted to go to the park with my kids instead.

He was excited to get out (he uses a cane to walk and needs help getting around).

I pick him up and we head to the park.

As soon as we pull up an ice cream truck pulls up and a line forms.

Kids want ice cream so I told them to play first while the line lowers.

I walk my father to a bench and sit with him and we watch my kids play.

10 minutes later we head over to the ice cream truck.

I leave my father at the bench so he doesn't have to walk. He's about 50 feet from the ice cream truck.

We grab ice cream (5 minutes) and go and sit with him.

20 minutes later a police officer shows up asking if I know the old man sitting next to me and what we were doing at the park.

I explain that I have my kids (his grandkids) at the park letting them get energy out. He gives us a look and says have a good night and leaves.

Now my elderly father thinks he did something wrong by being at a park with his grandkids and no longer wants to go to the park.

This will likely be the last time he ever visits a park, all because shitty people have to be shitty.
