User blog comment:Night at the Kashmir/My Theory why Sally was really sent to Fontaine's./@comment-3967731-20140925213320/@comment-24819226-20140926130208

Little Wonders probably was giving the leasons and education (along with the conditioning to be Little Sisters) they said they were or at least faking it. Given the mind control plasmids they were getting, I suspect that the girls could be told to "act normal" for a short period of time to fool the parents. And if the parents DID find out they could be intimidated to keep quite or maybe they vanished. (Hey, a new Big Daddy canidate!).

Ryan shutting down the orphanges is probably "public relations" as well as Ryan's own objectivness beliefs coming into play. Though I will admit he probably didn't have a full grasp of the situation with the Little Sisters for some time (and there was SO much to take care of when Ryan took over Fontaine's buisness. Easy to miss some important connection. Especialy if Fontaine had been hiding it.)

After the Orphanges shut down Ryan turned ot kidnaping to get the girls. First it was orphans, then as ADAM production ramped up, they needed more and started taking girls with parents or protectors. I wonder how many girls (or boys) were still alive when Jack showed up? :( And what lengths Ryan would have gone to get more girls if he had not been stopped? sm
