NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) They were caught in the middle of madness.
Some grade school students were forced to walk a gauntlet of screaming Occupy Wall Street protesters just to get to school on Thursday.
It was a wild day in lower Manhattan for most everyone involved, including elementary school children who had to brave the mayhem just to get to class on the other side of Wall Street.
In the middle of thousands of protestors yelling and chanting some kicking and screaming CBS 2s Emily Smith found little school kids trying to get to class. Nervous parents led them through the barriers on Wall Street. The NYPD helped funnel the children, anything to ease their fears while some protestors chanted follow those kids!
These guys are terrorists, yelling at little kids, one father said.
For them its horrible. Theyre afraid of all the crowds. Were not even able to get through. Theyre just, hes very afraid now, a mother added.
One protester followed a father and his little daughter all the way down the block. As the school day ended just after 3 p.m. children trickled out of Leman Manhattan Prep on Broad Street. Smith heard a 4-year-old boy telling his mom he was scared. He told Smith it looked like a parade.
There was a parade. It was scary crowded with school, the boy said.
After a while it got so bad some parents couldnt get their children through and they had to go late, said Gary Goldenstein of Tribeca.
Some saw the days doings as chaos; others saw it differently.
The parents actually along with teachers were at every entry point into this area, which is fantastic, said Vicki Pitcock of Tribeca.
School officials said they havent had to change school times or cancel class, and are trying to keep it that way.
If these protesters were looking for the opportune moment to show they had any compassion and/or any credibility on their part, that was it, and they blew it, big time terrorizing small children trying to get to school. jmo!
"OWS! Liberals! Their goal is to find a way to live within the means of the working class rich, but without the work."

Yes. But I wouldn't paint them all with that brush.
I read where someone had a park reserved where these people were protesting. The people didn't get to use the park they reserved. That would piss me off.
Yes. But I wouldn't paint them all with that brush.
Then lets see what they do to separate themselves from these loonies. They called out these mobs themselves and it is their responsiblity for what goes on in their name 'Occupy Wall Street', standing by and watching does not excuse them!
