It happens often enough that I don't think it can be a coincidence. Is it just because fascism revels in subjugating and abusing the weak, and nobody's weaker than children?

It's the same root of being able to make humans into objects. In this case, with children. A child doesn't get to disagree with authority, have bodily autonomy, or a purpose outside of what the patriarch has for them. They can be married off, exploited for their labor, and used as a cudgel to advocate for things that don't even benefit them.
