Well today I stopped a kid on a larger motorized bike riding on
Well today I stopped a kid on a larger motorized bike riding on my home street. I started out by asking him if he noticed the stop sign at the end of the street. He said "yes but no cars were coming." That's all I needed to give him a little talking to lesson. It just so happened he was on the phone with his Mom. His phone was in a holder on his handle bar. She heard what I was saying to the kid and was very appreciative of me stopping him and giving him a good talking to. He was aware of some of the accidents kids have had on these types of bikes. He was very courteous & promised me he would start wearing a helmet, slow down & obey the same laws a car or motorcycle has. Maybe because his Mom was listening. However, I saw him a couple of times later. He was on his best behavior adhering to laws and what we discussed. He doesn't know which house I live in exactly. But I told him I'll be watching. LOL.

NeenaC0629 : Good for you. I'm glad you did that. I worry seeing those kids out there being unsafe. I remember the concussion I got when I was riding my bike when I was 10... And wince when I see them!
NeenaC0629 : that was kind of you. I hope the Mom heard the part about the Helmet :0 !

NeenaC0629 : Praise God and ...Thank you friend. You may have just averted an incident!
NeenaC0629 : I'm going to have to say that there seems to be a uptake in parents out on the ebikes with their kids since school started. We drove about 6 blocks today and and saw 4 different group all led by a parent and obeying street laws.
NeenaC0629 : Regardless of your intentions, you have no right to "give a lesson to" or lecture another's child. That's the parent's job not yours. Your behavior was intrusive. Stay in your lane and mind your own business.

Raindrop26 : When people see innocent young minds doing dangerous things, some of us parents see an obligation to intervene and guide the young minds to make safer decisions.

Raindrop26 : 1) Freedom of speech. 2) Some "parents"....dont' parent.
@Cbear :
Freedom of speech has nothing to do with situation. Some people think age gives a pass to openly say or do anything. There are boundaries.

Raindrop26 : Meanwhile, here you are lecturing and "giving a lesson." Plus, not minding your own business. Gotta love the irony. Child or adult, the OP was showing concern for the safety of another human. The horror!

OBSD68 : Thank you. That may be the only concern the child gets, sadly.
