Speculation:
Either
1. They are released somehow--apprenticed to another guild that
takes orphans, or, more likely given the nature of the age,
2. they are executed (by legal authority, of course) as being
natural enemies of the regime that they will remember as having
tortured their mother.
The logic leading to #2 might be satisfied by indenfinite confinement
of the child.
But just occurs to me that we know exactly what the Order will do
with such childrean: exactly what they are commanded to do. They
obey.
