A swastika and other symbols were spray-painted on a playground for children with special needs in Georgia.
A pentagram and images of genitals were also painted at In Harmony Pediatric Therapy, which is currently building a large new play area at its new building in Cherokee County.
“It’s horrible, it’s everything we’re not for. We are for kids, we try to be the sunshine in their day because these parents and these kids have a lot going on,” co-owner Jennifer Puckett told the local TV station Fox 5 Atlanta.
The organization offers speech, physical, occupational and physical therapy. It has now installed security cameras, and county police will be patrolling the area more often.

Did you know that only 2% of Forward readers donate to support our nonprofit newsroom? That 2% make it possible for millions to read the Forward without a paywall or subscription — removing any barriers to the full and fair Jewish story.
But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
