    Paranoia about children was a common theme in the early Baby Boom
    years and The Veldt seems to be a prime example of the subgenre. I
    don't see the attraction myself but I know I am in the minority 
    where Bradbury was concerned.

They say that the Golden Age of SF is somewhere around the age of 
thirteen. Perhaps SFnal stories about adults who fear children pander to
Golden Age readers and make the readers feel more powerful?
