The answer

It is not permissible for children to eat meat that has not been slaughtered according to Islamic law (non-dhakiyyah). If they are adults, they incur sin by eating it. If they are young, whoever enabled them to eat it incurs sin. They must be warned about this, and a halal alternative should be prepared for them. We also note that residing in lands of disbelief can place a Muslim in hardship, so a Muslim should strive to reside in a Muslim country, especially if they have children.
