What is the “right” action here then, in your mind? Would you rather a stranger grab the kid’s hand or pick them up?
Touching someone else’s kid without explicit consent from the parent is likely to get you in some trouble unless you can explain to them that you just saved their kid.
Yeah, if a parent yells at me for grabbing a kids hand to keep them from running into traffic, I will look them in the face and tell them that I will just let their kid get smeared for 80 yards next time.

Just say “go back to your parents.”

I have no patience for that.
