That moves the problem elsewhere, it doesn't solve it.

It returns the problem to the source: the child's parents or guardian.

Generally true, but the school's core protection responsibility is for its own students and staff - not the rest of the world. And the school's authority and resources are even more constrained.

At least in some places, school systems have "special" schools or other programs for the kids who they'd rather keep out of contact with the general student population.
