We had this happening back when I was in school in the 40's. We had truant officers that would apprehend any kids that weren't in school when they were supposed to be. I don't know when that stopped.

In New South Wales, the State I live in in Aussie, they have local community
police officers that have the authority to pick up children from shopping
centres etc that are playing truant from school & the parents are liable for
their children attending school, it seems to be working here :}
