It is an interesting question and it seems ripe for application of 9.01(c). Given that breakaway bags are designed for a purpose and given that 12 year olds are less aware of the rules that are printed vs. the ones that are not, and that we debate on, I would be inclined to allow the runner to return to the original base location, or it's new location, 5 feet from where it used to be. If we have to debate what is correct, how is a 12 year old supposed to know? Benefit of the doubt goes to the runner in this situation, IMO.
