I read the first book and wondered if young people really worried that this was a plausible scenario. Like, were there enough kids who thought their parents would do this, if given the chance, that the book could earn out?

Kids who thought their parents would do this, no. That's what makes it safe to read.

Kids who deep down irrationally feared their parents might do this, yes. That's what makes it thrilling to read.

There are some pretty crazy people out there who still manage to become parents.

And 13 is about the age when a kid can look around, compare Mom and Dad to other adults, and realize that something's not right.

I'm certainly not denying that terrible parents exist, but their kids might not be as inclined to read about terrible parenting as a form of entertainment.

(My friends who have had terrible parents tended to realize it well before age 13.)

Ten or eleven, here. Alas, I'm not comparing David Tennant to Matt Smith.
