Someone thinks that pooping in a playground where children play is hilarious, because it's happened in Virginia about four or five times in the past couple of months.

According to KOMO News, parents at an Arlington, VA playground have reported spotting human feces. More than once.

"I have three kids -- one is a cancer survivor -- and if you run into something like that and put your hands in it, oh my gosh, gross," mom Andy Delafield said.

The area's Parks and recreation department has confirmed that someone has been polluting the park on purpose.

"It was inside the little stall over there," another mom said, pointing to a section of the playground where her two-year-old plays.

“Nobody would want your kids to have to deal with that on a playground."

What's worse is that the culprit hides the poop under an item of clothing, so when a parent or kid picks it up, they're faced with a big steaming pile of nastiness.

"To defecate outside is one thing, but then in a kids' park where kids can easily fall into it, that really shocks me," another parent said.

Park officials assume that the person responsible is committing the act after dark. Every time it happens, park employees have to clean it up and disinfect the area.

The police have gotten involved, since public urination and defecation are misdemeanor offenses. Not to mention that human feces are a big public health violation.

If someone poops in a pool, for instance, swimmers are required to get out immediately while lifeguards shock the water for 24 hours to rid it of bacteria.

"Who could be sick enough to like do something like that? It’s just absolutely disgusting," Delafield said.

There you have it. Someone has enough screws loose to poop in an area where children play.
