I think you did fine. For all you know, they could have been there less than five minutes as a parent went in to grab a jug of milk, and reporting it would have lead to needless embarrassment for the parents, a less than ideal situation for the kids, and a waste of an officer's time. The abduction idea is pretty far fetched, kidnappings are practically never opportunistic crimes. Personally, I think it was good you decided not to talk to them, because I was a kid not too long ago, and if some random person came up to me while I was in the car by myself, that would have freaked me out. It's a sad world, but trust is hard to come by.

Bags of milk my friend. This is Canada and we do not have jugs of milk. :)
