Fielden's shocking report does not describe a voluntary situation, freely entered between an "employer" and an "employee". What he describes are acts of violence - a plain criminal activity, which is in fact one of the very few areas where it is legitimate for the government to intervene.
From the ideal spiritual perspective, the best option for those victim-children, their ultimate spiritual gain, would be by turning the other cheek, suffering all that abuse in silence and possibly dying of it.
However, not everyone is at Jesus' level and very few can actually exercise this foremost of options, so as second-best we may turn to self-defense.
What a state is supposed to be (if it is to be legitimate), is a pact between a group of individuals who agree to defend each other (and their children). Whatever right to self-defense those individuals have, they may exercise that right via the mechanism of the state. Naturally, whatever right none of the group has - nor must the state in total have.
