What happened to the children Wallace was looking after?
In The Wire Wallace takes care of quite a few children. When he returns to the house at the end of series 1, they're all gone. Where?
Poot and Bodie didn't kill them (they weren't wild about killing Wallace) so where did they go?
Best Answer
The question regarding the fate of the children is not answered anywhere in the series (or in it's companion piece, 'The Wire - Truth Be Told' written by Rafael Alvarez), but looking at other plot lines, specifically Randy's story from season 4, it is likely that they were taken into statutory social care.
