[Home Alone] Would Kevin be charged for what he did to Harry and Marv?

Me and my family were watching both Home Alone movies (Yes I know there is a third and what not but come on) when I realized something. Kevin in both movies had info about Harry and Marv's plan and rather than reporting it, Kevin makes his traps, and the two men suffer. Well if the police knew about this would Kevin be charged? I know it sounds silly but Kevin put the two of them through a lot and in some instances they were both lucky that they lived so what would happen?

As a minor, Kevin isn't responsible for his actions and it can be argued that he was simply defending his home from two known criminals. Being a young person left literally alone over the holidays he can also argue he didn't know to contact the authorities, or how to contact them. He's likely not face any criminal charges. 

I think two other outcomes are more likely. One, the kid is a psycho and is in need of counseling (some of the things he contrived for the wet bandits are pretty savage). Two, his parents will be rightfully vilified for not only leaving him alone like that but how the heck does he not know to call any of his neighbors? (I've not watched the movie in a long time so this second point may be covered in it someplace).
