I'm not suggesting child labor laws are bad, I'm saying automation is good and not sinister. Automation inherently reduces labor, which can inherently lead to someone not needing to work a job that is now automated. That we want to protect people from suffering doesn't mean we should be suspicious of all new technology because we can imagine a way someone might lose a job.
