She was utilizing resources that are not in line with the "crime" comitted--there was no crime. I'd rather the police officer's time be used to prevent/resolve real crime (i.e., where a law has been broken) rather than as a ineffective parent's disciplinary device.
If I was the victim of a car-jacking, or a break-in robbery, or a violent domestic disturbance, and had to wait several more hours before getting face-to-face police time because of an incident like this, I'd be furious.
