With the priest doing what he is doing, he is denying the children the right to come into Christ's presence!
The Priest isn't holding them back from attending Mass. The parents are refusing to attend Church or to bring their children to Church. The lack of access to Christ's presence is the fault of the careless and laxsidasical parents.
The Most Blessed Eucharist is not to be given to apostates from the Catholic Church.

No, it is to be given to those who have "the faith of a simple child...for such is the Kngdom of heaven" as our Saviour has said!
