Continuity mistake: After the first clash with Cheetah in the corridor of the White House, Diana and Steve ignore her momentarily and try to apprehend Maxwell. Diana cuts his path, but Cheetah promptly jumps her and superman-punches her into the hall. You can see in the same shot Maxwell falling face down, and Steve's hand popping in frame. Diana is on the ground, Cheetah poses all stoic, but in the following part of the scene Steve is once more 'just' arriving and Pedro Pascal is face up. (01:49:25)
Continuity mistake: When Wonder Woman and Steve are knocked back in the corridor by Cheetah, the man lying down by the tray has his arm closer or further away from the tray depending on the shot. (01:48:50)
Continuity mistake: When Wonder Woman tosses the soldier off the truck using her cartoonish lasso before getting shot, the guy is flying away with his legs towards the road, but then rolls along the road with his legs pointed at the opposite direction. (01:22:46)
Continuity mistake: When Diana is looking at Maxwell Lord from the car that is travelling parallel to his vehicle, Gal Gadot's hand is inside the car when she's viewed from behind, and outside in the reverse shot. (01:20:40)
Continuity mistake: Diana in the egyptian taxi tells Steve she's fine while she is posing with her fingers at the temple like a headache. He interjects "You keep saying that, but..." and when the horn honks she is leaning against the back of her hand instead. (01:20:10)
Continuity mistake: When Barbara is torturing the guy who keeps harassing girls, she smashes him into the van then she kicks him once, and then a second time. You can see he is dropping some keys, but when she approaches him to finish him with more stomps, the keys are gone from the sidewalk. (01:15:50)
Continuity mistake: Barbara sprints out of the J. Edgar Hoover Building to deliver her news about the stone's history. A drunk dude goes "Hey babe!" at her; in the faraway shot he was holding his beer in the right hand, but he is holding it with his left at the cut. (01:14:20)
Continuity mistake: The guy that brings the films to Barbara and tries to flirt her up with the "Coffee, tea, me?" pick-up line, in the first shot has the metal case pressed against his tie, and in the next one his tie is crooked and the case is more towards his left. (01:13:45)
Continuity mistake: When Diana breaks the huge lock with more effort than she is used to, in the last effort her ponytail bounces above her shoulder. She then hands it to Steve, but the ponytail is back fully behind her. (01:03:15)
Continuity mistake: When Steve is excited about the escalator, people on the one going parallel to them change position between shots. (00:57:40)
Continuity mistake: When Steve points at the mirror to express his approval of the body he is leeching on, he is missing the rag he had in his right hand. (00:50:10)
Continuity mistake: Maxwell Lord finds his son in the nearly empty top floor of his office. He hugs him while holding a large yellow envelope and other similarly sized ones, but at the cut the big envelopes are gone (he holds them in the other hand) and he is holding in his right hand just a few small ones. (00:36:25)
Continuity mistake: Maxwell Lord is confronted by an angry investor in his office while his son is with him. This guy, Simon, says it did not take much digging "to find that out." Pedro Pascal that was leaning against the map of the supposed oil wells turns towards him, but he is leaning again against the map in the next shot. (00:37:50)
Continuity mistake: When Max gets in the Smithsonian and talks to Minerva he "does his thing", aka recites the line of his commercial and points a finger, opening then the hand. In an intermediate shot though he is still pointing instead of keeping the hand fully open. (00:32:10)
Continuity mistake: Diana and Barbara are having their early dinner together; Diana says that she is not getting out socially, and you can see at the edge of the frame that there's food in her plate. With no implication of time passed (on the contrary, the conversation establishes a continuum), her plate simply vanishes after the cut. (00:25:40)
Continuity mistake: Diana after checking the stone out tells Barbara "If you need anything, I'm around." Barbara is writing on the clipboard, hand on top of the board, but in the reverse shot she is holding the board with it. (00:24:25)
Continuity mistake: In the close-up when Diana silently looks at the stone and wind blows through her hair even indoors, she is holding the item with her hands positioned differently from before. (00:24:10)
Continuity mistake: When Minerva finds the box with the stone and starts examining it with the magnifying glass, she is touching the side of the box with her left hand in a shot, but was not in the close-up. (00:22:45)
Continuity mistake: The 4 guys packed up by Wonder Woman are according to the credits Buzz Cut, Bad Skin, Flat Top and Scowler. Buzz Cut is the leftmost one in their sandwich, but depending on the shot Bad Skin (the nervous one who caused all the mess) is facing him or away from him. (00:17:00)
Continuity mistake: Diana approaches Minerva that is dealing with the antiques, in particular "The empress of Siam." The towel placed on top of the case changes position between shots. (00:22:20)
Answer: At this point in time, her gig as a superhero is not public knowledge, and she wants it to stay that way.

How would that accomplish anything considering there were many people in the mall who saw what happened?
It really wouldn't, but then again, the writers didn't put much thought into this movie.

As the other answer indicated, Diana/Wonder Woman wasn't yet known publicly as a super-hero. A video recording is different from eye-witness accounts of what people actually saw or believe they saw. Memories are faulty, they fade, and everyone sees and remembers things differently. Regarding the child, I interpreted it as Diana just motioning in a friendly way for the rather precocious girl to stay put, behave, and quietly wait for her mother.

In my opinion, it wouldn't, and it's just another example of the shoddy writing in this film.
