Well the obvious response is that these systems don't have to be designed. Child abuse is a convenient red herring to expand surveillance capabilities. Anyone opposing the capability is branded a child molester. This is the oldest trick in the book.
I mean the capability to spy on your kid can easily be used to abuse them. Apple could very well end up making children's lives worse.
