Its a ridiculous situation im finding myself in right now. I was walking my dog when i saw a heated argument go down between a young boy and a young girl right infront of my apartment door. While my dog was taking a shit i heared her scream „let me go!“ and stuff but he was holding both her hands hindering the girl from walking away. Then when he slept her in the face, i let a loud whistle off and yeld to let her go. He looked at me and said some profanities but didnt let her go. So i walked very close with my dog who happens to look a bit threatening, which scared him off and he stopped holding her. I asked the girl if she wants to walk with me a bit tonget away from him and she agreed. While we walked away, the kid yelled „i‘ll remeber your face, i’ll look for you and im gonna beat you the fuck up when i find you without your dog!“

While i walked the girl a few blocks away, i talked to her a bit. Both of them were 14 years old (!) and the kid is apparently a huge troublemaker and lives a few houses further. Apperntly comes from a very troubled family.

When she felt safe and the dude was nowhere to see, i let her alone and went back home. But there he was, right infront of my door waiting. I, a 30yearold 1.9m big guy, didn‘t feel threatened and just smiled at him while i entered my home with my dog. He also smiling back at me, making gestures suggesting that he wants to beat me up like in a bad oldschool highschool movie with bullies.

I laughed about it at first. But this happened yesterday and the kid is still infront of my door waiting for me everytime i go outside with my dog. Im not scraed to get hurt or anything, he is like 1.5m small and im a big guy. But i mean what am i supposed to do? I guess i go to prison if i defend myself against a 14 yearold, if he really wants a fight, right? I guess i could just leave the house with my dog to just keep him away. But what would be the best corse of action if it really would come to an encounter without my dog and he actually tries to attack me or smthn, before i manage to find out who his parents are?

Tl;dr: 14 yearold kid camps my apartment door to beat me up. And i, a 30yearold big guy, would like to deescalate without going to prison.
