So sorry your wife had this experience. But thank you for posting so that others can be aware.
I agree with Kitty that people should stop giving them money. If they don't get rewarded then perhaps they will move on. And be prepared....have a plan like some of the ideas Kitty mentioned. |

What's the phone number for "Village Security"?

Why ? There's no law against panhandling.

There's no Village Security, either.
I believe if you are "panhandled" and then followed in your cart and asked whom you're calling, that's threatening and grounds for calling the police.

I stick up for myself if faced with individual panhandlers. If there's a group of them though I look for an easier approach. I took a wrong turn while trying to get to the ferry station after attending the American Association of Law Libraries Convention in San Francisco in 1992 and wound up in a rather nasty part of the Tenderloin. The tables were kind of turned so I had to be the one looking for a quick exit. I do not know if they have cleaned up these areas of the Tenderloin by 2014. http://www.sfgate.com/homeless/ |
