Mission Viejo responds to swastikas in park

After seeing a pair of  swastikas etched at Pavion Park last month - one on a tree, another on a wall - Jenna Gerstner was unsure what to tell her two sons.

"I contemplated how to tell my children about racism," she said as she shared her story in front of hundreds gathered at the park Monday night.
