This person argued that it was Truth in Television:
"Someone trying to convince a child of their parents wrong-doing is Truth in television and a staple plot point of police procedurals. Nothing in the example states why the drama is so bad it makes the scene funny."
First off, that statement is debatable, especially since in this case, the child wouldn't be inclined to believe a stranger. Second, this is not an apparent case of wrong-doing to bystanders, or to the child. Third, It wasn't that she was trying to convince her. It was how she said it.
What was funny was her inflection. As a bonus, there's him suddenly threatening to get physical. Even if he didn't know about her powers, it would be a very silly idea to make a scene on the beach, especially for someone keeping a low profile.
