Idk,

Shouting “Hey, don’t do that” loud and clear may be more effective.

  • kid may have thought they where alone and will get jumped from getting caught.

  • May alert the parents their kid is up to mischief.

  • Doesn’t potentially start an escalation war with neighbors

  • Doesn’t carry the small risk of the child falling or otherwise getting hurt with you as an easy blame.

Think of it like this: Does the kid now understand the “evil” of their actions to try be better next time. Or will they feel vindicated by their parents support against your “evil”

Then that's a parental problem, not a problem caused by the action.

You're right, but this is fuck around and find out territory. I would want the escalation to make it clear where I stand with my cat.
