Wait... so a kid on his bike has to yield to you even when you have the stop sign? Where does it say that he should walk his bike through the cross walk?
I think generally a cross walk has a stop sign which makes it pretty cut and dry what the expectation of driver is. You have to FULL stop for any cars, bikes, skateboards, runners, wheel chairs, dogs, goats, geese, old lady, troubled teen, and anything in between. Even if any of those are barred from the side walk by local ordinance your stop sign still means you only proceed when the cross walk is 100% clear.
I wish I had a dollar for every time I saw a driver run the stop sign at a crosswalk and only (roll) stop at the edge of the intersection (when most of the car was past the cross walk line) never once actually looking to the their right before making the right turn... while holding a cell phone.
