It may not be possible for Google to do that redirect without incurring legal liability.
Fraud occurred here. Google just shuffling the shells might be aiding and abetting fraud.
(The law here isn't set up just to protect Google; nor is it set up to just protect the kid. It ties into broader societal protections against child exploitation and child labor. So Google runs the risk of tripping over criminal liability, in which case the end result is no longer in the hands of any of the immediate parties. Their policies are maximally paranoid to avoid that outcome).
