I know I'm posting this late but I must reply.....Children is exactly the word I would use yes some were adults a little older a little wiser..but nevertheless CHILDREN. I agree with you totally and most negative remarks about this will come from people who don't have CHILDREN and don't realize that your CHILD may grow up and become an ADULT but will always and I do mean always be your CHILD...when people ask how many children do you have...they don't ask how many adults do you have....yes your answer may be "# but they are grown now" but the fact remains it's still your CHILD....And to add yes the killer was somebody's "CHILD" too...
