"he's not a criminal" - actually he is, even by Monster society:

1) human children are forbidden to make contact with monster society, Waternoose had plans to bring multiple children into monster society.. that is akin to using an illegal fuel source.

2) monsters are not (usually) heartless creatures in this franchise, as is noted when Sully shows disgust at Waternoose ("kidnapping children?") <-- so he's at minimum crossed a social taboo on top of the above crime.

3) he conspired with Randall and gave Randall the orders to do what he did, thus Waternoose is guilty of criminal conspiracy.

4) he assaulted Sully and Boo - he also previously betrayed both him and Mike via tossing them into an arctic wasteland where they could of easily died.
