Travel with kids

I flew out to Mombasa with the family two weeks ago; carrier was a well-known charter company. we were unable to check-in online. At the desk, which we arrived at just over 2 hours before departure, i was told that my family couldn't be seated together - the best that could be done was x3 kids together (aged 9, 11 & 13) and me about 12 rows away towards the rear and my wife about 8 rows away.

The rationale was that 'had you wanted to guarantee you were all seated together you should have paid for this'.

Are there any regulations which require all under-age passengers to be 'in the care of a named adult'? (We were recently on a BA flight to Florida and the flight attendant was unwilling to let all three children sit together, even though they were directly in front of us).

Thanks
