I am so upset!

What do you want us to do?

What do you want us to do?

I'd hope that it wasn't deliberate and he was just a careless idiot. Glad your daughter's OK :flowerforyou:

That is terrible. My guess the idiot was just done drinking his drink and tossed it out without even looking to see who was around. I doubt (or really hope) that he was not intentionally aiming at you or your daughter. Like you said this could have been much serious if it was a hot beverage. Not much you can do, just chalk it up to stupidity of one person. let it go though.

This.

Don't think of the what if's just be glad it wasn't worse, chalk it up to an *kitten* and move on. Your daughter is OK, you are OK everything is good.

She later on said that he yelled something at her.

I wasn't sure where to post this.

I lift 4-5 days per week and walk 5 miles everyday except Sunday.
My walk is my daughter's morning nap.

Today, while walking the last mile, a man threw a soda at us and hit my 7 month old. She was soaked and it was already a cold cloudy day. Of course she was upset and screaming but thankfully I had brought an extra blanket and wrapped her up and was able to calm her down. Unfortunately he went around the curve before I was able to get his license plate number.

I wish I could have filed a police report! What type of human being would throw anything at a stranger let alone a baby!! I sobbed the entire rest of the walk home. My daughter is fine, I am sitting with her in the bathroom as she is splashing and playing in her tub while she gets warmed up and gets the sticky mess off. But what if it were a glass bottle? Or hot coffee? I live in one of the safest cities in the nation.

I don't know why but I really don't feel comfortable sharing this somewhere else. I just had to get it off of my chest. I am just beyond upset.

And why *didn't* you file a police report, exactly?

Please enlighten us and tell us what the police can do without the plate#.

See my previous post.


In addition to what I posted there, if they see a pattern of this behavior in an area, they could increase patrols to try and catch the guy. Perhaps he's done this to others. But if they all think like the people in this discussion seem to, "Oh, they can't do anything without the plate, why bother?" then nothing will happen.

This is why there are so many threads regarding carrying a gun while you jog. So you can shoot out the tires of people like this.

Yeah, real good idea!!!! If she misses the tire and ends up shooting higher up. <shakes my head>

I'm not seeing the issue there?

Me neither (okay, maybe a little). The baby could have been seriously harmed.

I would at least carry some pepper spray. It obviously wouldn't help in this type of situation, but it could come in handy if you get someone too close while out on your walk.
