Kevin is a shop lifter after he panics with the tooth brush. Since he learned never to trust cops, he assumes he'd get thrown in jail like the hardened criminal he is... And then there's the cop who's trying to break into his house. Yeah, can't blame him for not making that call.
Yeah, the first movie pretty clearly lays out why he didn’t want to call the cops. Also, IIRC, the snow storm knocked out the phone lines. His parents mention that they can’t get ahold of him because the lines are down. So he couldn’t have called them even if he tried.
The second movie though? He was a predator stalking his prey. He wasn’t just a victim of a break-in. He actively lured them to his twisted funhouse, and didn’t call the cops until the very end when he wanted them to get caught red-handed.
He learned what he was good at... And what he enjoyed.
He has a particular set of skills.
The McAllisters are the family he gets sent to live with after the good son.
That movie is fucked
Also, ACAB.
