Did the child give the items to someone else? Yes.
Was the child secretly feeding someone who was in hiding?
I think we might be making a wrong assumption. The items were taken by someone who belongs in the house, but a number of people are referring to “theft”. So,
Would the taking of the items be considered “theft”?
Yes.
Probably not.
Was the objection related to “stranger-danger”?

Ding! Ding! Ding! This is correct. The show creators needed to show a toilet, and the network censors would not let them because it was considered improper to have a toilet on TV.
+++ Now, those of you unfamiliar with the episode, can you solve the mystery of the missing items knowing that part of the solution involves the need for the appearance of a toilet? +++
Did the child think the cosmetic was mayo and give it to the hider who then
ate it and needed somewhere to vomit ?
