Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

My dog was kicked by a child in the passage today

I went out to walk my dog today just before 4pm and a group of children, boy and girls, were in the passage with their mother.

My dog was having a sniff, he is a bit deaf so he wasn't aware of the kids.

I couldn't believe my eyes when the boy (age 8-10) stepped forward and kicked my dog in his belly. I asked him why he did it, because his mother did nothing and just walked on. I asked the mother why she didn't say anything because this behaviour isn't right.

She then started saying to the kids they had to continue walking, said to me I was a crazy woman and I should watch my dog and mind my own business.

That's what I was doing! Minding my own business, walking my 16 year old dog until your child comes and kicks him out of nowhere!

I am beside myself with rage, I can handle a lot but not this kind of behaviour towards animals. This boy will grow up thinking this is normal.

The kids definitely go to North Harringay School. They were in the passage in their school uniform and the mother was wearing a pink scarf on her head. And they were walking in the passage from NH School.

I've had issues before with a man and two boys , also from NH School (different people), telling me I can't walk my dog because there are children everywhere and dogs are dirty. He shouted very obscene words to me, in front of his kids.

I wonder what to do now. Someone said I should file a complaint at the school maybe?

Any thoughts?

Thanks Carla. I will leave it to Jessica to decide if she wants to do that, but for the avoidance of doubt for anyone else reading, I should probably make clear that we don't allow individuals who are the subject of any sort of complaint to be identified on HoL.

For some reason it's not saving all of my post. Tried twice now. So apologies for random half response.

I was more suggesting it as a means of evidence/identifier if there were to be a complaint made in official capacity, more and more individuals are bought to task for public wrong doings since the advent of smart phones.

Oh - and it's Cara BTW.

Jessica, I was trying to bring about some rational thought to the thread amongst all the mouth foaming hysteria. You can keep your private and venture life separate, I was merely comparing how anyone would feel if the roles were reversed, you seemed to have missed that point, amongst many. There are far more effective, rational and productive measures to seek justice, that was my point.

Admin, I thought posts were deleted yet some have posted them again. Is this right?
