User blog comment:Night at the Kashmir/My Theory why Sally was really sent to Fontaine's./@comment-3967731-20140925213320/@comment-1500935-20140925215348

The only reason I would see for shutting down the orphanages is for maintaining his public image. That said, those establishments were no more than holding pens for future Little Sisters, the real facilities for implanting slugs and training would be the Little Wonders Educational Facilities, or whatever they were called before Ryan took over Fontaine's assets. Still for the abductions, I believe that a kidnapping ring appeared (created by Cohen?) to answer the demand, and Ryan preferred to look elsewhere just like he did with the undesirable effects of ADAM addiction. Perhaps he thought he would be able to turn things back once the situation in Rapture settled.
