You know what is really scary? My nephew knows how to start my bike, not that I ever showed him, but he figured it out just by watching me. If his foot could reach the shifter peg I'd wager the boy would get the bike rolling.

Those little ***** watch you dude!
My daughter was one of the deciding factors in not putting a button on my bike till she got some age on her , no joke .

So, what surprises you man? Respect is of so little value today. My motto: "Don't Expect Respect"... You ever do any rallys? Watch the knuckleheads that squeeze between your bike and the one you're parked next to, all the while touching it, spilling drinks on it, moving it, kicking the fenders...and that is while you are sitting on your ride! I'm surprized the mom didn't pat the kid on his head and get out her cell phone for a picture! I've decided that the best thing to do is keep your brand new scooter in the garage all shined up, go buy a beater to ride and let the public burn their calves on the hot pipes if they so desire!

THAT would be my reaction. Half eaten corpses and sobbing females would litter the T-ball field.

All it took was a dirty look and he was off and quickly walking away
Man you let us all down that day. This kid was older and needed to be taught a lesson. You shoulda just shot him in the face. No explanation required. Now the 5 year old is a different kettle of fish. Kneecapping's probably a touch harsh given that he probably didn't know much better and there were spectators. But mum should have known better. Bending her over your bike with her jeans a little bit further down than than the dirtbag kid would have been appropriately punitive.
If you guys are just gonna let this **** happen and bottle it all up inside it's gonna get too risky to leave your bike anywhere. There's gotta be consequences!

That situation probably says more about the mom than it did the kid.

Well the OP posted a thread that he didn't like the varied responses he got, so instead of blaming one person, how about we blame all 3 parties:
The OP - should've expected that little kids at a baseball field leaves the potential for one of them to mess with your ride.
The kid - obviously wasn't taught good by that time not to touch stuff that wasn't his so I hope it mom slapped him outside the head, if not for touching other's stuff, but for the fact he could've hurt himself.
The mother - didn't teach her kid about respect for other's belongings, and at the same time if she was there for her son's game, why wasn't she WATCHING her son?? What the hell else was she doing that was more important?

So in the end, y'all are equally to blame
