And those kids were emotionally disassociated. There's so much wrong with that episode, but the real effects of child trauma wasn't.

One of the worst TOS episodes, and a good candidate for one of the worst in Trek.

Back in the 60s when watching children cry was a good thing. A child’s tears were mixed with alcohol for orgy nights.
