This isn't about children, it's about new believers, and it's a warning to other Christians.
Have you even read your Bible?
18:2 says he called a child to him... so it's not like the idea of this being about children is far-fetched
Within the whole of this span of text "children" are an allegory for new believers, it says as much at the begining.
This is why verses were a bad idea, it's far too easy to remove a single verse from context than the whole of a passage.
