How To Deal with Malicious ("CUTE") Children...
...Greetings, All. I am starting this Thread early (in Winter), before the Season for it (Summer) arrives. I have asked this question indirectly before, yet gained nothing in the way of practical help/advice. Thus I try it again now, to see if anyone has a truly useful answer...?
One situation is this: Where I (am forced to) Live, there is only one way in and one way out (without destroying a fence). Last year, 'the neighbours' decided that a common/public area was their private & safe PLAYPEN for their children to play in, paddle-in-a-pool, litter, leave toys and traps, etc. etc...
To the Adults, their own 'children'... can do no wrong, ever, and ARE just OH-so-CUTE. Children can do no wrong, ever, and this is view now protected by LAW. Even if they swear, smash windows, vandalise, litter, or decide that long-term harassment or spilling your blood is FUN... they are just CUTE children. They can upset Adults, but Adults cannot upset them, they are just being harmless and CUTE Children.
My question here, in the Main, is: How do I get past them when they decide to SWARM at me?
(Pushing past is seen as 'assault'. Reasoning with them is just seen as "Funny, weirdo - let's victimise and throw stones at them!". Asking their Owners/'caregivers'... to deal with them is seen as: "Oh they are just CUTE children, they meant no harm!" -- bearing in mind the harassment and vandalism part I just said.)
...Honest question, I appreciate some honest answers, Thanks.
(P.S. - "Autism" is too long a word for such 'children', so do not bother posting mentioning that. Some Adults recall the word "Autism", but it is swiftly drowned out by the word/idea of "CUTE".)
