IMO, The Child broiler represents multiple things. It's foster care, or the special needs class, or juvenile detention, or the mental hospital. It's where kids get sent when they've been labeled as "troubled" or "disadvantaged" -- which is just another way of saying that they'll never amount to anything. They become invisible to society, and grow up to be faceless, alienated adults -- interchangeable, like the blank silhouettes on traffic signs.
