No net force. The thing isn't moving.

If they are both pulling with the same amount of force (meaning that neither of them is moving) then the net for would be 0. Kid A is pulling to the left with 20N of force, but Kid B is pulling to the right with 20N of force. So, it would be like adding 20 +-20 =0
