I agree with Coach.
Education is the answer. The kid was trained well and ran. If the kid was allowed to put herself in a situation where there was no place to run, that is also bad parenting. Parents are ultimately responsible for their children until their children are capable of making informed, intelligent decisions on their own.
Over-reaction in favor of "protecting the children" is a classic example of how to take rights away from citizens.
