I think the main reason for making the 'goody-two-shoes' kids who always behave the antagonists in the story is the assumption that they're suck-ups to the "big bad grown-ups" and tend to be tattle tales too. The assumption that adults just want the kids to have no fun might be part of it as well; almost like the human equivalent of animal jingoism.
