[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All of the people who are victim-blaming are disgusting.  It takes a community effort to maintain a decent neighborhood.  When the response to jerks endangering children by riding an electric scooter is to say, "Go inside and hide" then you are abandoning the streets to the miscreants.  That's how neighborhoods stay unsafe.  [/quote]

+1. Well said. [/quote]

This.

And to any mother on this thread that hasn't told a grown man being rude to take care around her small children, I call bullshit.  We should not live our lives in fear of a crazy person with a gun.  I will still tell a grown man who rides his e-scooter too close to my toddler to SLOW DOWN and I will not slink away into my house when my family is treated poorly.[/quote]

Ok, good for you? I'm not sure what your goal is.  You can feel good about yourself while acting like a fool and putting yourself and your kid in danger.  [/quote]

DP. Teaching your children that they should not speak up for themselves when others put them in danger usually has pretty bad consequences for children. I wouldn’t recommend it.

Again, most people are not subhuman violent trash. It’s not reasonable to believe you gotta keep quiet at all times because everyone you come across is thinking about shooting you. [/quote]

Let me set you straight:  staying out of the way of potentially dangerous people is what you do to project your child. Getting yourself into dangerous situations is not "speaking up" or teaching your child to "speak up." Do you think you live in a Sesame Street episode? Can you honestly not tell the difference between being assertive and keeping yourself away from risk?[/quote]

This guy drove a scooter full speed into someone’s family. It had nothing to do with “staying away from trouble.” Trouble came to them.[/quote]
