DECLAS of "How it really is" ???

Torchwood: Children of Earth Day 4 Look closely...see the child... and the IV?

This is one of the only logical things that makes sense...Why else would humans do something so sinister - trading babies for advanced technology to entities with zero empathy...???

Children of Earth broadcast over five consecutive days and demonstrated what a truly adult science-fiction series was capable of. The premise was reasonably simple. One day every child in the world stops at the exact same moment. Then it keeps happening; only it soon becomes clear they are being used to communicate an alien message. Over the course of the series we realise they are being controlled by an alien race known only by the wave length they communicate on, the ‘456’, and this evil race soon make their demands clear; they want ten percent of the children of Earth or they will unleash a virus that will wipe out humanity. What makes the series so interesting is not the alien threat as such, but the effect it has on the human race. The ‘456’ are certainly horrific, in the end it is discovered that they want to use the children for ‘the hit’, they attach the children to themselves and use them as drugs, but what is even more horrifying is realistically portrayed human beings beginning to discuss how the ten percent should be selected.
