Seems to be a lot of victim blaming going on here. Clearly a four year old child should not be riding a bike on a pavement out of sight of the adult who is supposed to be caring for him. Also clearly if the child ran into somebody from behind, he is not ready to be riding a bike in a place where people may be walking. Quite apart from the adult who in this case could have been badly hurt, so could the child. I wonder how those people on here asking how it was handled would have reacted if it had been them? All sweetness and light and apologies for having had the temerity to get in the way of the child? I'm pretty sure I would have been extremely shocked and annoyed.

That’s quite a take on what’s seen by most people as an essential scheme to keep kids safe around the school gates.

Yes, do report it even if you cannot get info about the owner. It’s likely that the dog has bitten other people (and dogs) already or will go on to do it again. I’ve been bitten by dogs in the past, owned by people I knew and they had bitten previously. One bit my face when I was putting her lead on. She had recently - about a week before - bitten the hand of a vicar who had been to discuss the wedding of the owners’ son. The son was a doctor and he advised me to go to the hospital to start a new series of tetanus jabs. I took his advice. Unusual behaviour by a dog can also indicate health problems.

She lives on heber rd

Another one for Aria! Super helpful. Went out of his way to advise (and fix) other issues that we never discussed and I didn't pay for. Running around ED picking up parts for my odd jobs. Didn't put any mark up on materials. Clean and tidy. Very reasonable pricing. Complimented my terrible tiling. Will be my go to plumber from now on.

This feels like a targeted attack on Catholics who don't actually all live within extremely short distances, or even relatively close vicinity to a state primary school affiliated to their own religion.

Sorry to hear you got a bump. There are people out there who could experience serious consequences from what would be a fairly minor stumble for other people, it's true. If you're raising it for discussion, how did you "raise it" with the guy? How do you think a neutral onlooker would have described the scene?

Up to about a mile, frequently (some do have much smaller catchment areas) but for a young child a mile is not the 10 to 12 minute walk of an adult but perhaps 20 to 25 minutes. Which can be quite a tiring start to a school day. And the adult may then need to get off to work, possibly in a different direction. Which significantly adds to the commute time. A couple of minutes drive to the school may be saving 30-40 minutes of the adults time at the start of the working day.

Another recommendation for Aaron, who I've used three times for rendering and plastering, both internal and external. He finished the jobs to a high standard and prices were reasonable. He's also a proper local, living in Dulwich. His number is +44 7773 410661.

Really shitty parenting, and sad level of arrogance. Some people are just not very nice and have no manners

The hopper fare is pointless if they're "regulating the service" or changing drivers and making you wait at a random bus stop nowhere near your interchange.

So pleased for him to be back on Lordship Lane. He has some other venues that are all excellent, but a bit of a walk from here.

Assume the parent was also on a bicycle?

Interesting. Many of these monstrosities are also made in Germany and in Britain, and for the UK this is seen to be important for our international trade. Some of the worst in America, And more and more in China. Many people drive them but never seem to post on threads such as this one.

That'll be the Chelsea tractor then. Which first appeared on our streets as a Range Rover.

What a revolting response. Coincidentally the almost exact same thing happened to me with a slightly older child, maybe six - the parent and friends seem to think it was OK. It wasn’t funny. It was very painful thoughtless and ignorant.

Because most children live within relatively close vicinity of their primary schools.

It's a four year old. You should have got an apology but we are taking your word for what happened. ie how you handled the aftermath.
