How was the attack of the young people on Elisha really an attack on God?

Elisha was hardly forty years old when he was insulted by the lads. being at Bethel, which had become a city of wickedness, it is probable that the child were mocking him for his prophet - hood other than his bald, which explains why Elisha placed a Deutronomical curse on them, where God had promised that if the children of Israel did not obey him, he could send wild animals to them.
