I've often wondered what (my mental model of) The Orange Guy would do when he visited the child. Other than enjoy it. Would he say one nice word just to make sure the rest of Omelas gets bumped off the pinnacle, and then sit there and cackle at the child's still-pretty-miserable state? (Probably. My mental model of that person is rather ugly.)
I agree that those people are vulnerable to exploitation. This question touches on what should be possible or ethical for people who have few good options. If they believe selling their home is their best choice and someone buys it, is that worse for those people than saying that no one should buy and thereby taking away their best option? I wish I had better answers.
