It's not really Orwellian.
More soviet/stazi.
I don't think Orwell really addressed child spies or kids denouncing their family and friends. Obviously there was more than enough nasty shit to keep him occupied.

Really? From the FIRST search result that came up:
“Nearly all children nowadays were horrible. What was worst of all was that by means of such organizations as the Spies they were systematically turned into ungovernable little savages, and yet this produced in them no tendency whatever to rebel against the discipline of the Party. On the contrary, they adored the Party and everything connected with it… All their ferocity was turned outwards, against the enemies of the State, against foreigners, traitors, saboteurs, thought-criminals. It was almost normal for people over thirty to be frightened of their own children.” ― George Orwell, 1984
