Involving the police in that situation would be an insane and risky escalation. The girl has a cold, anti-social caregiver/parent. That's sad, not illegal. There were zero reasons to involve the police. What happens when we call the police and the woman lies and says one of us was groping the child and her friends corroborate her lie? I'm not taking that risk.
Don't try to out-crazy a crazy person. That's not a game I'm going to play.

That's factually incorrect.
There is nothing illegal about ignoring your kid while they cry on the playground.
Sic the cops on the crazy person and let nature happen.

The recording device in my pocket comes into play, and afterwards my attorney seeks damages and fees.
I hate that we live in a world where this feels like a remotely sane question but do you use an analog or digital device?
Because these days with anything digital there's a risk of the other side claiming it's a genML fake.
Are there analog recorders with an "infinite" loop of tape so you get automatic overwriting without manual intervention?

I think this type of thinking is quite cynical and overlooks an important factor: we have a presumption of innocence in this country, and these types of situations are adjudicated by reasonable, typically-intelligent, honest jurists - not computer programs.
If one party is asserting something is fake, they need evidence to do so: mere supposition isn't good enough, and if unsubstantiated, typically removes credibility from the accuser.
In this situation, no reasonable person is going to believe that believable video footage is going to be able to be fabricated on the fly - and to what end? Nobody was physically harmed, no property was damaged, and there are numerous witnesses who are very realistically risking their freedom and finances if they choose to corroborate an inaccurate restatement of facts.
