The child has human rights. Your human rights are not punctuated with the clause that "unless you are rich, or your parents are rich".

Just as the people can choose to send their children to schools where they pay fees (if they can afford it) whilst still having an entitlement to send them to state schools, it can be a matter of personal attitude and choice.
Benefits can be removed or changed legally, they aren't so much to do with Human Rights necessarily.
If people think they need to use the welfare state and they have a legal entitlement then that's down to them to decide whether to or not depending on their circumstances and attitude. Not everyone chooses to use them if they don't absolutely need to.
