In Canada we don't have Cal Ripken rules but do have age group called Mosquito (10-11 year olds) where they are not allowed to leave the base until pitch reaches home plate.

If the runner leaves early, you wait until the play is over and then decide which base the runner would have reached if they didn't leave early.

On a stolen base see if the runner is thrown out, if so the out stands otherwise return the runner to their TOP base.

Of course, most games at this level have only one umpire so seeing the corner bases is very difficult. Usually the only base that "leaving early" is called at is second because it is directly in line of sight of the pitch.
