There have been mass graves of teens and children found at old "reform schools" and orphanages across the US. Children of the poor and disenfranchised are never treated as if they had any value other than as chattel. These "schools" were just places to warehouse socially unwanted children until the survivors could transition into either a life of servitude or the prison industrial complex.
