That wouldn't be a problem in the EU. Children are not able to consent to a contract.

That amazon assume that it is the adult authorising the transaction is a decision made by amazon to facilitate purchase. i.e. it is Amazons problem, not the parents.

I'd guess the number of contested transactions are sufficiently low that amazon generally doesn't care to enforce additional authentication to reduce the likelihood of unauthorised purchases.
