They were referenced as being burned then too, saying that they all looked like they had been burned (something a long those lines).

Burns are mentioned after the arena bombing. I do not recall if it was Burt at the hospital or Michael at he tower, though.
Tanya's autopsy describes under developed Breast. We also know they started small and grew taller. I think everything is consistent that they started young. I do not know what percentage of the inmate population would be pregnant and how many women the jail would hold, but that is my :tinfoil:
Human growth hormone does work better on children than it does on adults. It is as if the growth points in the bones of adults shuts down and does not respond to the hormone. Give it to kids and it helps the long bones growth. Athletes take it for much less tangible effects.
The human body is big on what I call "homeostasis". It likes to try and stay the same. No matter what you do or how hard you try, you can only effect so much. Playing basketball will not make you seven feet tall. Lifting weights will not make you an Arnald. Hormones can stack the odds in your favor, but only some body types will respond. We may be equal in the terms of one man one vote, but physically speaking, our max potentials are very different.
However, start throwing additional hormones and drugs in very early life or even before birth before while the homeostasis is being patterned and much more is possible. These are the little ones.
I understand Grognaurd., but we seen in the behemoth that "homeostasis" doesn't works. Some of the male prisoners were adults and became huge. Still I believe it a result of the gas (chemical X) + HGH that cause these major changes.
Okoko, I mean real life. This is scifi and we need an x-factor. That must be the contagion. What I mean is that in real live Somatatropin has a much greater effect on children than adults, so in the story it makes sense that it might have a greater and or better effect on children, also.
Yup, I do agree. But it seem that KC doesn't want to mess with zombie kids at this point. The closest we got to that was Tommy at the Tower. Beyond that I haven't seen many spots where Ink would had access to them. Something is tell me that he need subjects that have fully developed minds to control. But I don't know why.
