To gain a successful conviction they have to prove elements. To charge him and ruin his life wouldn't require much.
It's a messed up situation. In this day and age, how many 7 year olds are "miles" away from home by themselves? How many 7 year olds are allowed to walk "miles" away from home? No parent at home to answer the phone? The kid walking up to a strangers house to ask for a ride? Don't 99.9% of parents ingrain in their child's head "never go to a strangers home".
