Dog attacking child - not stopping to help

You did nothing wrong OP, ignore those saying you did. It is good to question our actions sometimes, which you've done, but still be happy we did the right thing to start with.

No, it doesn't show they 'were wrong', because they weren't.
It's always ok not to get involved with a dog who is nothing to do with you.
Maybe you need to 'come on now'.

Cool when then if you're happy with your choice that's great for you.

Not a dog owner. Aggressive dog attacking a child from it's own "pack" - I wouldnt go near it.

I assume that's a mention for me @gindreams
I know. I said didn't look back to see if one was needed? I didn't say "phone 999 immediately and demand one?" Point is could've waited from a safe space to ensure all was OK. That's what I would imagine most people would think of as reasonable? Not just going off home? That's the point of OPs post?

@6Y5T it might not have needed an ambulance ? You do realise that all these wasted calls to emergency services delay other people getting help

The fact they are posting on here shows they know they were wrong and are seeking reassurance from strangers.
It's never OK to walk away from a child who may very well need your help. Didn't even as much look back or see if an ambulance was needed? Come on now!

What other side? Chavs gon' chav. As someone said earlier, typical for the Jeremy Kyle rejects you get on some beaches.

The fact that she is asking on here shows she does have compassion, however that doesn't mean she has to put herself or others in a potentially dangerous situation because of someone else's negligence.

The other dog owned screamed obscenities at an owner of two very well behaved dogs who had passed whilst their DC was being attacked by their own dog?

I’d be interested to hear the other side of the story.

It seems concerning to me that the parents were behaving aggressively towards a passer by whilst their child was being attacked by their dog!

I really despair at the level of reading comprehension on here sometimes. It is perfectly clear from the OP that the dog owners were the parents of the child.

Actually, I think the brain dead parents calling the woman a stupid bitch are what’s wrong with the world.

I would imagine OP is actually quite worried about the child, since she phoned the police and wrote a post about it. She trusted her instincts but was made to doubt them by the abuse she received from the dog owners and then her partner not backing her up.

Why should she walk into a situation that could have got her and her dogs injured too? As most people have said, going nearer with her two dogs could have made things 10 times worse.

OP you trusted your instincts and did the right thing, no good would have come from helping those people. You. called the police which was all you could do. There is no way I would have gone back to people acting aggressively torwards me. FWIW If I was worried about my kid I think I would be pleading for help not shouting abuse, to a random stranger just walking by.

@Idioticparents you did everything right, as other poster have said, it DARVO, they and their dog is at fault, entirely and absolutely, but they are too cowardly to admit that, has to be someone else's fault: you will do! Even their dog getting riled up by your dogs is to do with their (lack of) control of their own dog. Hope you feel okay.

You haven't understood correctly.

So their dog attacked their child and it’s your fault because you were walking past? If they can’t control their dogs or their children then they don’t deserve either.

I wouldn’t have stopped if I was with my dog. He can be reactive to aggressive dogs and bringing him into the situation would have made everything worse. I also wouldn’t have wanted him to get hurt. I don’t think it was your responsibility to stop.

No.
Patents and owners like that are what's wrong.

People have the right to not want to deal with shit, drama and Jeremy Kyle rejects that they have no business with.

YANBU.
Dog owner should have had dog on closer lead.
Guardian of child should teach them/prevent them from touching random dogs.

See and that's what's apparently wrong with the world.
She should have been concerned for the child. She should have shown some concern or compassion for them.
I'm not saying it's not the parents fault but the lack of compassion makes me feel sick.

Typical dog owners always trying to blame other people for problems caused by their dog.
A little while ago I was cycling in a cycle lane, a woman's dog ran out in front of me (nearly had me off my bike) she tried to tell ME off for not helping her catch her dog🤬
The owners were embarrassed because they were in the wrong and and someone witnessed it, this was a DARVO (deny accuse reverse victim and offender) they can't accept that they're wrong so they lashed out at you.

She doesn't actually need to have concern for the child.
It's not her circus or her monkey

I think it would have been a very different scenario if it had attacked a stranger's child, but with two parents there and their dog attacking their own child, I would have stayed well out of it.

Why?
There's 2 adults there almost certainly with phones.
Enough cooks for that shit show of a kitchen

OP did not need to risk her or her dogs for those morons.

Whatever happened and the consequence of that event are solely on the parents to manage.
