For those who don't know, this is from The Pitt, an official DLC for Fallout 3.
The context is, Pittsburgh is a bit more affected by radiation than Washington DC (where the bulk of the game takes place). You are invited to The Pitt by the leader (or a leader) of a union trying to protect workers. The area is led by a gang that works the populace literally to death. You are able to meet with the gang leader and it turns out he is not a bad dude. He is trying to cure people, but it's going to take him 20 years. His daughter (the baby, Marie) is immune, and he wants to safely extract the child's blood over time to cure people. The "union" guy wants to kill the baby and only cure himself and like 1-2 others, screw everybody else. There isn't a good option here.
If you wanna play "eat the rich" and be more accurate in canon, you talk about Bumble, a 6 year old girl in the kids-only community of Little Lamplight. (Fun fact: Mayor MacCready is a little shit, but he's best boy in Fallout 4, when he's grown up and has learned a thing or two.) You have to go through Little Lamplight to finish the game. However, there's a faction you never really have to get near, but if you happen upon them, they ask you to enslave four people (one of them can be killed, most people kill this guy as part of a side quest anyway). Once you do that, the slaver leader tells you he has a discerning client who wants the youngest girl he can get for his own perverse uses, blah blah blah. You have to sex traffic a first-grader. Well, you don't have to. You could just walk away. But if you do, you can lure the girl outside, and then a slaver shows up to take her away to a life of hell. (What you can also do is then "reverse pickpocket" the child, give her armour and a flamethrower, and watch her kill the slaver, then the two of you basically agree to never talk about this again and you escort her back to the cave.)
Fallout was fucking dark before Skyrim and Fallout 4, 76, Shelter, and the TV series.
