So property is a function of your ability to keep it? Very practical view, and is true de facto.
In your society are there any groups exempt from slavery (Whites for example)? Would the child stop being property at the age of ascension, or only after the father died?
By the way, you're in good company. In ancient Rome, children were considered the property of their fathers too, until death iirc.

Whenever the property owner releases his property, in accordance with whatever covenant he may have entered into. If the father dies without a will, his next of kin determines what will happen with his property. Practically, most will have covenants or wills dictating what they may or may not do with their children (e.g. married in a church with a plethora of rules regarding children).

Property exists; humans use their power to exert control over resources.
In my society, children would be the property of their parents, wives the property of their husbands. Other slaves would not be disallowed.
