[Star Wars] ELI5 or CMV on why Jedi Knight recruitment is not just child exploitation?

So I live on this little town on this backwater planet where nothing much happens. Except last week when these two dudes in robes who up at my neighbors house. They're welcomed inside and a couple of hours later, they walk out with their son, load him into a speeder and drive off! Its a small town and sure enough within hours everyone knows that their son has been taken to be trained as a Jedi

Now I've read up on these Jedi since then and I know that they like to recruit as early as possible. The child taken is denied any further contact with his family and will spend his entire life training to be some kind of superhero or something. Even if he fails he's not coming back and becomes some sort of indentured servant.

And yet when asked, the kid's mom was absolutely beaming with joy when she told us! A four year old kid who's just out of his diapers is taken away at an age where he has no consent and forced to become a supersoldier and she's proud!? How or Why do we put up with this? How can the Republic allow this? Its child exploitation!

Force users are dangerous. The jedi train force sensitive children to be emotionally well balanced and benign.

It kinda helps with the whole not doing date rape by mind trick when they're teenagers or crushing a coworkers larynx when you miss out on that promotion.

It helps that the parents can say no to the Jedi.
