If the child is small and appears to be alone, I will usually try to talk to them and get them to come with me. If they are older or there is more than one of them, I will usually arrest them.

you straight up arrest them?? seems a little extreme no?

I work as a patrolman in NYC, and when I see this happening I stop them usually there is more than 1 kid doing this at a time, so I stop them and give them a talk, possibly everything I tell them will be forgotten immediately, but just by 1 listening to me I know it will make a change.

Who didn't do something silly as a child? I just sit down and talk to them if I can.

There are a lot of serious crimes and this one is really low on my priority list, if I'm being honest. I'd only be inclined to "give them a talking to," nothing more than that. What else can you do, really...?
