Well, over the last few days this child has been playing outside our front gate and purposely staring at me, banging, screeching and singing "it's time to die" and things like that. We have consistently ignored him as we have not wanted to give him the satisfaction of us noticing. (Me, feeling so triggered, in particular).

I was alone at home today and his beady-eyed stare got too much for me. I grabbed the camera and started recording him and narrating what I was doing. He backed off but kept popping his head out to look at me.
This happened three more times when I decided to go right up to the front gate and record him from there. I was barely out the door when I slipped back into his own garden. And I caught it all on camera.

I don't intend to do anything with the recordings but it was satisfaying that
I haven't seen him again today.
