Question

Hello and blessings,
This is a question I’m not sure what category it belongs in; it’s a strange situation that has gotten out of control.
In the neighboring building there is a child who is very afraid of dogs. When he sees a dog even somewhat nearby, he panics, sweats, screams, and cries. In my building and in the neighboring building where the child lives, there are several families with dogs. Every time, we used to check whether the child was around and wait for him to leave, or try to call out to him to move away because a dog was approaching, but sometimes that also frightens him.
Over time, at the family’s request, a WhatsApp group was opened in which anyone going out or coming back with a dog updates that a dog is approaching, and they also update when the child goes out. The problem is that what started as something reasonable has turned into an unbearable nuisance. I don’t want to report every time I leave or return with my dog. My daughter sometimes takes the dog out and she doesn’t have a phone, so I watch from the balcony to see when she gets back. There’s a flood of unnecessary messages on WhatsApp. It’s burdensome always having to check whether he’s here or not. When people meet at the dog park, this issue almost always comes up.
We thought of two options. One option was to tell the family: listen, we understand everything, but we deserve financial compensation for all this hassle and these restrictions. A second option was to tell the parents to switch parking spaces from the outside parking area to the parking garage below. I myself am willing to switch with them, and that they should drive the child from there to parks and playgrounds a bit farther away, and make sure that his entering and leaving the complex is only by car to the garage and from there by stairs home (they live on the second floor), so that he also won’t meet a dog in the elevator. In other words, the child would hardly be in the entrance plaza or the nearby garden at all.
We approached the family and they reacted with anger and hurt feelings and accused us of being inconsiderate. A big fight broke out.
Now we don’t know what to do. To stop all this involvement in the matter and behave normally, and if the child is there then he’ll suffer—that isn’t nice toward the child, who is overall a sweet 6- or 7-year-old who really hasn’t done anything. But continuing as we have until now—we’re already fed up with it.
