Hi Ketzer!
I'll try to help you with this translation, as Ruben said "patillas" means "sideburns", and back in the day adults tended to pull kid's sideburns as a way to punish them for bad behavior.
"En el despacho de T. se ve a uno de los de la banda que abre la puerta con dos niños traídos de las patillas.
"At T. office you can see one of the people of the band opening the door with two kids being pulled by their sideburns" I wouldn't be sure if he's going into the office, or actually getting out of it with these two poor kids.
To make it even clearer I'll quote an article from a Spanish newspaper (http://elpais.com/diario/2006/11/19/domingo/1163908650_850215.html):
"Ahora, los maestros no pueden pegar, ni tirar de la patilla a los niños. Ni un tirón de pelos, siquiera una sacudida"
Hope it's clear!
See you!
