parents typically don't sell the products of their children's labor, and even if they do, there aren't systemic incentives to exploit their children, and if there are, maybe we should stop that from being a thing.

and parents usually give a shit about their own kids

Kids on farms are not systemic in the sense that it's not a blackbox that can be scaled. You can't bribe the police chief to give you more children, for example.
