Why Wasn't Mitch in Legal Trouble?

In "Weirder Things", 3 July 2018, the Baxter-Carter kids win tickets to see a special premiere showing of an episode of their favorite show Weirder Things. Before they go to attend it, they meet what they think is a monster who demands that they give him their treasures. Later the monster is revealed to be Mitch and the kids get their treasures back. But Mitch says that while he possessed their phone he transferred their tickets to the premiere showing to his phone, so he's going and they aren't.

So why doesn't Mitch get into trouble for committing theft?

Do the characters and/or the creators of Raven's Home believe that children live in a state of anarchy outside the legal rules that apply to adults? Do they think that children have no legal protections and/or cannont be punished for their crimes?

In Illinois law, the unlawfull taking of money or property worth less than $ 500.00 is classed as a Class A misdemeanor, with penalties up to 1 year in prison and fine of up to $ 2,500.00 as well as monetary compensation. I assume that the value of the tickets Mitch stole would be in that range.

And if someone does something wrong they can be sued for money in a civil case.

I think that if the kids won tickets in a contest of some kind, their names and the numbers of their tickets would be recorded, so if Mitch is recorded as using one of their tickets it proves that Mitch acquired it from the kids, and the kids can testify that he stole it.

So there are three kids old enough to testify, and probably Tess was also present and could testify, about the theft. And little Power might be old enough to testify, and probably vividly rmembers the "monster's" threat to keep her unless the others gave him their treasures. Which could lead to even more severe criminal charges against Mitch.

So Mitch is badly outnumbered by the children who can testify against him.

So possibly "Weirder Things" happens in an alternate universe to other episodes where Mitch is later present, and Mitch never commited any crimes in those later episodes.

Or possibly the wheels of justice ground slowly off screen and Mitch got into enough legal trouble offscreen eventually that his father moved him out of the building by the end of the second season so he couldn't get into more trouble.
