    but these nudity streams will be broadcast to the front page

    That is not the case though

    Streams that are labeled as including Drugs, Intoxication, or Excessive Tobacco Use; Violent and Graphic Depictions; Gambling; and/or Sexual Themes will no longer be included in homepage recommendations shelves due to the visual nature of those topics.

    Do parents just ban them from using Twitch? Or should Twitch have better systems in place to make it harder for kids to stumble across porn?

    Yes 100% yes. If you catch your kid watching hot tub streamers you should ban them from using twitch
