That analogy is not entirely accurate. I assume there are laws against aiding criminals (and I suppose that seeing them escaping and not reporting it could be considered helping them escape). However, Wikia's Terms of Use are an individual contract. It only applies to what the agreeing user is doing, not to what other users are doing. Furthermore, Wikia is the only party liable for collection of information from those under 13 (specifically the change to COPPA that counts IP as personally identifiable information, hence the changes to some wikis). If someone under 13 creates an account, that's kind of a mess; Wikia is breaking COPPA, but only because the user is breaking their contract. I don't think users have a responsibility to report violations, but I'm sure Wikia would appreciate being told. About the blocking, again, users are not affected by the actions of others in terms of ToU violations. You're not required to do anything; report it to Wikia and move on, as the account will be disabled soon enough. I see no reason to issue a block/ban if the user is not being disruptive. If they are causing problems, then blocking/banning them should be fine since they're going to be disabled anyway, but I suppose that's still up to individual wikis to decide if they want to bypass other policies they may have decided upon.
