The images of these "kids" in TX appear extremely odd to me.
If you look closely at these "people", you can see how they are all similar in appearance with slight variations.
We live in a time where high definition capability is in the hands of even the most poor American yet most of the these images appear low quality and one of them looks like a picture of a picture (blonde in the middle).
Now also notice none of the "parents" show any grievance. No tears, no heart ache. Just the same story about how their particular assigned kid was loved by everyone. This is utter nonsense.
Exam the pictures yourself. Look at their eyes, teeth and hair line.
These are not real people. And that teacher who "died" her husband dies less than a week later?
Insane.
IMO these images are simply variations of one image for each sex and race.
With all the trafficking they have plenty of that available. If the students are actually real they could arguable just be the children of the preselected parents or onlookers on set for the camera. Probably no harm done to the actual children who actually attend the school so when the legit parent of the town showed up to the school they entered the set completely eating up the false narrative.
