'Course I probably mis-noticed, but I thought I saw "kids" in some of
the crows shots - for example when Jeremiah is pushing his way through
crowds, and a kind of panning shot (curing which we see the horse
pulling the car...)

Could be wrong, though;  it HAS hapened before...<G>

But, let me add my kudos to JMS.  Outstanding!  As dark as it is
(very!), there is still that hope, even if we only see it in Jeremiah
(and Kurdy???) when he's with Jeremiah...

Only in what we've seen so far.  There were small kids (8-12) in the Clarefield
marketplace during the robbery, hiding under the crates, and there's a baby
being born in an episode forthcoming, "To Sail Beyond the Stars."
