It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood!

Or is it…?

Well, I guess it depends on where you live…

But one thing is for sure, this guy is living in an area that sounds pretty awful.

He shared his thoughts about what he’s dealing with in the story below and we think you’re going to be surprised.

Let’s take a look!

Why are kids in my neighborhood so rude and like to solicit money?

“This has happened to me and I’ve seen this happen to others (several times) as well.

There are kids, ages 8 to maybe 14/15 who like to approach random strangers, men and women, and ask if they can “borrow a dollar” or even use their credit card to access Lime scooters.

Based on experience, I’ve had kids come up to me to ask “excuse me, hey I have a question. Can you spare me a dollar for XYZ” and I would say “no, I’m sorry.”

This is concerning…

They act so nice at the start and then when you say no even in a polite way, they’ll curse you out, call you slurs, and act so offended like you’re in the wrong.

A young kid not even 10 year old asked me that same question and when I said no, called me inappropriate names and told her brother who was already on a scooter to “run me over”.

He actually attempted to do that to try and scare me.

I just try to ignore it and walk away.

These kids are out of control!

These kids weren’t even 10 y.o. and already acting this way. I would call the cops on them cause this is just BS, its making our neighborhood unsafe because of these types of kids.

And as an adult, you can’t do anything extreme like you can with other adults.

What do I even do?

Ignore them? Report them?

Has anyone else experienced something like this?”

There are no laws around these parts!

It sounds like the Wild West.

And it also sounds like kind of a nightmare, if we’re being honest.

It’s pretty obvious these kids have no parental supervision at all…
