The correct answer should be - Tom's band of robbers attacking a group of children.

Satire is a humorous type of exaggeration with the aim to mock a person or a group of people. So it is quite satirical that this band of robbers should go after a group of children who don't really own anything, instead of actually stealing something valuable from people who are rich.
