I mean.. if they were like 4-7 yrs old then i probably would understand this kind of annoying behaviour.. but if they r older, then they gotta open their eyes and grow up! Cuz when u meet a stranger, u gotta respect them, not harm them D:
If they r like 7+ yrs old then i'd say that they r VERY uneducated.
In this kind of situation, i think it's best to make urself clear by talking to them, in a way others can hear u. This way, if they keep doing that, u can say u warned them beforehand! ^w^

Let's be honest here, kids always hav been, and always will be little gremlins. I might say especially so now with all the internet brain-rot.
(hot take) personally, I'd say neither of you is in the right, but not really wrong per-say either.
As one who was raised with to older brothers in the 90's, I developed thick skin and high pain tolerance, so I can't speak for you in this matter. I don't know your situation, but I would justify you in defending yourself.
However...
