Unless the police in your area are really underworked, they might not be thrilled at being called out to pursue a sixth grade girl (most crimes are committed by boys, not girls) who is taking a short cut to school. Police tend to think they should be out chasing murderers and muggers and rapists and terrorists – not pre-teens on their way to and from school. Absent some indications of damage being done or more serious crimes being committee, you might reconsider calling out thousands of dollars in police assets. If it was your daughter who was taking a short cut to her Beis Yaakov, would you get annoyed if someone called for a SWAT team to stop her?
