@Tarekh,
Two children alongside an adult actor were killed during a helicopter scene filmed for the Twilight Zome Movie. So many laws (including child labor laws) were broken during that infamous shoot.

Shirley Temple was not harmed while filming went on, but she was assaulted at the studio.

Here's a Wiki page full of on set accidents for actors and crew.

Quote:
Napoleon and Samantha (1972). Jodie Foster was mauled by a lion on the set.

Jodie Foster was about 10 years 0ld at the time.

Quote:
The Exorcist (1973). Linda Blair suffered a spinal fracture due to a mechanical failure while filming a scene where her character Regan MacNeil levitates and thrashes violently. The fracture later developed into scoliosis years later after Blair reinjured her back during a motorcycle scene in another film.[80]

Linda Blair was 14 years old at the time.

Quote:
Waterworld (1995). During production, actresses Jeanne Tripplehorn and Tina Majorino were thrown overboard from the trimaran they were on when its bowsprit snapped.

Tina Majorino was 10 at the time.

Quote:
Titanic (1997). Several extras were injured during the film's climactic sinking scene where passengers fell and hit parts of the ship. Injuries ranged from a broken ankle to cracked ribs, a fractured cheekbone, and a ruptured spleen.[171] Kate Winslet suffered pneumonia from filming the water scenes after she refused to wear a wetsuit under her dress. During the scene where Jack and Rose were running away from an ocean wave in the hallways, Winslet's coat snagged on a gate, pulling her down and nearly drowning her.[172] On the final night of shooting in Nova Scotia, 80 cast and crew members were hospitalized after pranksters spiked the clam chowder at the catering area with PCP.[173]

Not listed in the Wiki page, but I heard elsewhere in a YouTube review of the film, that child actors were involved in the PCP poisoning.

I suspect there are tons of unreported accidents involving child actors. Some being covered up by the production due to child labor laws that were violated during the production that may have directly or indirectly caused the accident. There also might be privacy issues addressed regarding the age of the actor and lack of public disclosure of the injurious events.

Many injuries to nonfamous child actors were probably too minor to report in the first place. Skinned knees and mildly sprained ankles for example.
