That's a bit odd, as every experience I've had with Knight Moves has been charming and polite --and my friends with children say the same.
You say your younger is in first grade. In my experience with first graders, it can be really stressful to not know where a parent is, especially if it's taking longer than expected, and tensions can run high. You don't say how old your older child is, but if I saw a six year old on the street without a clear adult (even with an older sibling, unless we're talking teenager), and especially if that six year old seemed distressed, I would try to intervene too. Yes, lots of kids are comfortable in the city by themselves, but if they're upset or freaking out, that doesn't read as comfortable or safe to me.
