(Putting aside if the law is good or bad and the constitutionality of it.)

Put criminal penalties to the directors if no reasonable attempt to keep kids out.

Plus corporate death penalty if they purposely target kids.

Then how they enforce it doesn't really matter as long as there are periodic investigations. The personal risks are too great and the companies will figure it out.

Excessive punishment with arbitrary enforcement? What could go wrong?
You forgot selective punishment as well
The FTC already implements a "corporate death penalty" in the form of massive fines if an organization collects data on kids and uses it to target advertising (see COPPA)
