Its interesting everyone just keeps referring to the Catholic school they escaped from as a school. Knowing what we know about things like the Magdalene laundries and usual Catholic way of dealing with kids, they were likely escaping from a prison like and abusive situation. They would be more likely to be cooperative to not end up back where they started from. There is really no comparison to LOTF here where the kids were going back to a middle class existence if rescued.
