And I don't think there's so much wrong with it. Even if you disagree with how he went about it, at least Kinzo himself probably thought he was doing these kids a service; these are orphans we're talking about.

What I mean is, ten year old kids are not very useful as domestic servants. It's also, well, creepy. Not in a sexual way, but in an exploitative child labor way. "Having kids work to get work experience and earn a job recommendation" is something you expect of teenagers who will, in 2-4 years, be emancipated legally and going off into the world to work. It's not really something you expect out of people who will just be entering high school at that time.
Basically, Shannon and Kanon's stated ages in the stories make more sense as the age you'd expect people to start working there, not when they're 6-10 years old.
