Because those kids, who are not at risk from the disease, have been scared into compliance by their hysterical parents.

In Europe, this would be child abuse, because masking small children is considered completely useless there.

Please don't say "in Europe". Diseases are often driven by schools and kids of all ages, in my country the expert commission has been asking masks for all kids at school, all ages, for a while now (they generally have plenty of evidence, but I don't read too much into public policy), but politics have not implemented these requested changes, probably for fear of backlash.

There are many countries in Europe and they differ greatly

As Epse says, there is no “in Europe” for this. The rules for masks on children varies greatly between countries. But letting the kids wear a mask is certainly not seen as child abuse over where I live. Maybe as unnecessary or as “overly cautious/protective” but I haven’t heard of people calling CPS because children had to wear a face mask.

Hello from Europe!

You speak for all three quarters of a billion of us? No, you don't.

You made this up, pure and simple.
