What would you do?

Ok so I stay at hotel by a bunch of 18 wheeler gas stations/ restaurants

I went to one gas station by my hotel at 11 pm and a 14 year old boy and older brother was there asking me if I had apple pay or zelle I told him no and they left

Tonight I ran into the same boy about 1 am but he was by himself and asked me the same thing so I asked him a few questions come to find out

Him and his family is from New Jersey they been staying in a room less than a week

His family told him to go outside and find some money to pay for the room mind you it's 1 am

He just randomly goes up to people and ask them if they have apple pay or zelle

Now I stay in a hotel on "52" from the people in South Carolina, and it's not a bad place but with it being off the highway and a bunch of 18 wheeler drivers personally I wouldn't call it safe either

I'm conflicted I want to call the police because he is 14 walking from gas station to gas station, randomly going up to people and vehicles, at hours no child should be and his parents TOLD him to do it im concerned for him

But his family isn't from down here and I don't want to get them in trouble because I don't want to start anything

I have kids and I would be HIGHLY concerned and pissed if MY child was doing that but I also would not put my child in that position please any feedback or anything
