The children who worked in the mills were not, for the most part, homeless. They worked alongside their families. Their parents did not think that child labor was wrong, because they were from the agrarian tradition. What made it terrible was the working conditions I think you missed the parents reasoning. They did not think that working in the mills was ok because of their "agrarian tradition" but because if their kids they didn't work in the mills, their kids would starve. The industrial revolution increased living standards and life expectancy, not decreased.
