Child on scooter

I was walking up to the shop just after school had finished. A family were coming towards me - two junior school age children on scooters and mum across the full width of the path.
I stopped to allow them to get past but one child was looking down, not at where they were going so I said "you need to look where you're going" so they didn't run into me or anything/anyone else.
Mum shouted "how rude" but I don't think I was.
Did I do anything wrong. If anything, I feel the mum was wrong in not warning her own children to be careful.

Yes it was rude. Leave the parents to parent. A simple mistake of looking down doesn't need a sarky comment.

So you'd have allowed a child to run/scoot into you?
