The answer

A young child is considered wealthy by virtue of his father's wealth, so it is not permissible to give him zakat; because he is sufficed by his father's expenditure. However, if the children are unable to obtain sufficient support from their father due to his insolvency or refusal, then it is permissible to give them zakat; because in that case, they are considered poor and needy.
