I thought the $100 was for extra staffing in the airport to escort the child and extra liability in the event that something happens to the child?
Maybe the FA gets paid an extra $10 per hour for babysitting the child?

It is. It should also cover a ticket fee. IMO the fee is steep enough to include a ticke fee that the passenger can't avoid. Just don't say "why should I pay for other people use of AA resources". They DID pay their own way by the UM fee.
