Feel your pain, seen plenty been ridden by kids in a less than ideal way. But seen many more being ridden by adults 20-45 year old going to work, taking their kids to school or just buzzing around the park.
I reckon within a year or so the 'bad kids' will move onto something else, or just grow up a bit. Last summer in my workshop had dozens of kids (most were not the nicest kids ;),) on e-scooters with punctures and issues with them in Glasgow. Out and about in town you'd see gangs of kids riding about causing havoc. This year, I think I've seen one. So its already less of an issue IMO
Would much rather be slightly annoyed once per walk having to change my path whilst walking to avoid a scooter, than be actually ran over/harranged/felt to be less of a human because I'm not inside a £70k SUV.

All of this.
I see someone who looks like they work in construction (safety boots, helmet etc) use it for commute daily through the local park.
It has its usage for sure.
They should be looked as an alternative to cars IMO. And they are just filling the gap of awful public transport infrastructure.
You always get dickheads in every kind of transport vehicle, I'd hope the evidence is anecdotal and they are the exception.

E-scooters - Riding on footpath fast and dangerously mostly by egoistic teeneagers who putting all pedestrians into risk of injury and not giving a s...t.Scooterers are wrong and they're even arguing back rude way....E-scoot toy boy's !
