What's the actual allegation here? That by charging money to choose a seat, families are discouraged from paying money to choose to sit next to each other and so often end up split up?
I'm not a huge fan of the trend to charge for seat choice. But doing so lets less price-sensitive people who are picky about seat choice to subsidize everyone else.
To account for the safety issue, probably the ideal would be requiring parents accompanying a minor to pay for one choice seat (in that, once the random seat is assigned, they should be able to choose for the other seat to be adjacent to it). That'd stick in people's craws, though.

I learned to talk to strangers, ask for juice when I wanted it, and get out of my seat when I needed to bug my parents. Today, as a single traveler, I don’t want to subsidise families who wish to travel together and not pay for it.
