Unless you are talking about school ball, this is not the umpire's concern or responsiblity. Every minor child on a summer / rec / travel team has a coach and a parent. Dealing with the care of the child away from the field is their responsibility, not the umpire's.

Mind you, I don't have a problem with ejection but stay in the area (even in the dugout) if the player is not a further disruption, but the above is NOT a reason the umpire should be concerned with. Eject the player as normal. The rest is up to the coaches / parents.
