And that's just two counties of one state, in a 2-day period.
According to the COVID-19 dashboard for the state of Florida:
Pediatrics:
Cases: 240,618
Admitted to an ER: 8,461
In-patient admissions to a hospital: 1,561
Pediatric Deaths: 11
That's just Florida, and only since March 1.
What source do you have that claims "no" kids under 12 have gotten sick from COVID-19?

Where did you get that data? It doesn't appear to match with
this FL DoH data.
This data shows 237,927 cases in children under 18 which is close to the number above. However it shows 11 deaths in that group since the beginning of Covid, not just since March 1.
The ER numbers above must represent the number of children taken to the ER to see a doctor but not hospitalized since the hospitalization number is far lower. And again, the hospitalization number appears to be since the beginning of Covid and not just since March 1.
EDIT: It is possible that the cumulative report for a period prior to March showed zero deaths which would make the data above correct.
