Child on scooter

[Solmum1964]

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.

My local police FB page was recently asking for a child (or their parent) on a scooter to come forward, as they had collided with a woman in her 40s and put her in hospital. From the photos, the kid looked to be late primary school age.

In your case, the mum should have insisted her kids be single file on the path to allow others to pass.

well this thread seems to suggest that she probably wasn't, and holds OP responsible for not getting out of her Precious Child's way. (I wonder if the PC had hit OP what the Mum Of The Year would have said then?)

to echo one pp above: i don't live in the UK, and there is no way anyone wouldn't have told that child to look where they were going because they nearly caused an accident. (in a country that is famous for telling people off for crossing at a red pedestrian light "because it sets a bad example to the children", for a bit of context)
