I think that was an excellent solution.
Had they let the kid off with a warning, he would have been back on his bike, breaking the law, in order to get home.
Regardless of whether it's a good law or not (doesn't affect me so I have no opionion) it needs to be upheld and this seems a reasonable response to me.
Some people will always be up in arms when their children are disciplined.
If her kid had been involved in an accident after being allowed to ride away unprotected she'd have been singing quite a different tune.
