As we've seen from Saki's parents and their constant emotional outbursts, this doesn't seem to be the case at all. Thus, I would be interested in know at what age the curtain is pulled back.

Why not? Adults in general are able to manage their emotions better than teenagers. It's a fact. The problem with telling teenagers the horrible truth is that their emotions are far too volatile at this age, there's no telling how they'd react. Adults should have enough maturity to handle it better. Not to mention, teenagers are still in danger of being removed, so telling them everything would only increase their stress and create more karma demons. Better to wait until they're permanent members of society before revealing to them they could have been killed at any moment if they had slipped up.
If I were in that kind of situation, I personally would rather be kept in the dark until I'm safe.
