The chronic complaining is quite something. Last year we were treated to the accusatory claims of perverted TSA screeners when minors were patted down. Now we are told the TSA is incompetent because a minor appeared to "walk" through. Everyone is always being hard done by and everyone has a chip on his/her shoulder.
Here's a novel idea: People should stop looking for conspiracies where there are none. If there is a concern, bring it to the attention of the security personnel right away. The event could not have been too worrisome, if nothing was said or done at the time.
I expect that despite the claim of not having walked through the metal detector, that the person did indeed go through.

It's quick and easy to sign up and seems to be effective for this kind of stuff.

I strongly suspect that the minor used a WTMD, and thus bypassed the MMW. Since infrequent pax assume that the MMW is the "primary" screening method, they get used to the "stop, freedom pose, magic moving machine moves, secondary pat down" procedure and fail to remember that a WTMD is just that - "walk through metal detector". Without all the theater, the WTMD may appear to be no screening at all to pax that have been psychologically conditioned by the TSA's MMW procedure.
How many times have you seen someone that got unexpected access to Precheck stop and strike up the "freedom pose" in the WTMD? I've seen it more than once.
