FWIW they have youth volunteers, age 10-17 http://archive.is/Cer8b

Youth Programs For children ages 10 to 17 there is the Junior Interpreter Program. Children work along side staff and adult interpreters on the 18th century Farm as members of the “Farm Family”. Youth volunteers will be expected to plant, weed, tend and harvest field crops and a kitchen garden. They may also learn skills such as animal care and pen cleaning, woodworking, preparation of wool and linen for spinning, open-hearth cooking, sewing and food preservation. From their unique perspective they are then able to talk with the children and adults who visit the Farm, about their experiences living on an 18th century farm. Prospective Youth Volunteers and their parents must complete 12 hours before applying to the program. This gives the interested applicants a chance to see if this program is really right for them. Applications are taken on a rolling basis and orientation sessions are scheduled on an as needed basis.

It would be very interesting to see if any children after visiting the farm have gone missing. Not sure how that could be checked though.

Hm well it sounds like there's paperwork involved. If it's publicly available (probably not), then it would be worth looking through
