A month or so ago, I was visiting my MIL with dd1 and dd2. She was running late so I went into the park until she arrived. I wheeeled the double buggy into the play area and noticed 2 women sort of shepparding another person around. The other person what looked like a restraining vest on.
Anyway, she sort of zoomed over making a beeline for the buggy. I was about to get dd1 out to go on the swings but stopped and told the other women to get her away from my daughters but they couldn't restrain her in time and she lunged forward and pinched dd1's biscuit that she had in her hand. She then had to be dragged off kicking by the women who were full of apologies.
I was v angry at this point but didn't want to frighten dd1 anymore than she was already so tried to play it down.
Anyway in the end one of the women came over to offer me some money for the biscuit, which I said well that isn't the point, why is someone who is obviously violent in a children's play area?
They left eventually, dragging the 'attacker' off.
I was left quite shaken by this thinking 'what if she had hit my daughters?' etc and am still a bit wary of going in the park.
SHould I have reported this do you think?
