They could have ordered the woman to unlock and open every door in the house, take the child and any animal that might spook the police, leave the house and then send in a tactical team to clear it.
No wall crashing, no door breaking. If they find a locked door they have every right to suspect someone is behind that door and breach. If the woman forgot to unlock one, well, that's her problem.
Crashing trough the wall is playing with toys, not policing.
