Scratched car

Just been to the park with my DS and a lad who cones to us for respite care. DS is having a tantrum then falls over and is really upset. Get in the car, try to reverse out but the way someone has parked behind me means its really difficult, DS is crying and I'm getting more and more anxious, every move I make gets me more jammed in and it's a nightmare! I'm getting closer and closer to the car behind, finally get away from it enough, I call to a chap walking by to please talk be through how to get out. He does, I'm out, as we drive home DS says we scratched the other car, he says he kept telling me while it happened but I didn't hear anything all I could hear was my own heart beat as I was trying to get out. Get home our car is scratched. Hmm DS swears I scratched the other car, a big graze. Hmm I feel awe full, went to the loo and cried. I feel so guilty, I struggle with guilt, this will stay with be for about 6 months now I know it. My car is bright yellow and a funny shape so very identifiable. Should I go to the police and report myself incase they want to get in touch for insurance? Go back to the park and put up a poster? Wait till they find me out and about, I'm hard to miss. Feeling absolutely sick.Confused

You know most people would forget about it, right?
Could you possibly identify the other car, how old is your DS?

Ds is 9 my car is scratched so I think theirs probably was too. I can only remember the other car was dark blue, or black. I just phoned local police station and left my number with them in case anyone rings, they seemed pleasantly surprised that I was calling.

well yeah, most people would not bother. I don't think you can do anything more.
