<human>: Give me the gist of the text in a nutshell

4th of July brings everyone out and about in my little town of 20,000. Driving down main street my boyfriend and I decided to get coffee at a local stop. To reach this destination we had to pass by "Friendship Square" (a park-ish/community gathering place) where many folks have gathered for some 4th shingding. Seeing that the crowd was precariously close to the road, I started to slow down my car to about 10mph to see what the hell was going on and be on the lookout since they were practically on the street. This is when all the shit hit the fan at one instance!

Before I knew it, my boyfriend yelled "KID!!!" I only saw fast movement from the direction he was pointing then, Hello!! The little girl was now in front of my car with dad full sprint practically on top of her. I slammed my breaks (mind you I was only going like 10mph) so the breaks chirped to a complete stop as the girl and dad went flying to the other side of the street.  I DID NOT hit the girl nor the dad! Then this is when the "old generation" was ready to take me off to jail and teach me a lesson, basically they were ready for a shit show! 
They surrounded my car and started yelling at me that I saw going "over 30mph!!" "Not paying attention!" "Turn off your car and dont even think of moving!!!" and many other phrases that I honestly dont remember since I was still freaking out and comprehending what just happened. After about 10 minutes of being looked at like a worthless 20 something from the "old generation" the mom finally came over to my car and said "Sorry! This is the 3rd time today she ran across the street, shes ok. Thank you for stopping." So my boyfriend and I drove off to the coffee shop, once there tears and venting commenced.  Would have this scene been different if I wasn't a 20 something and maybe say 40 something?
<bot>: Almost hit a 6yr old girl with my car, old people assumed I was at fault just because I'm 20 something
