Scepticism is worthy but it can go to far. Not sure they had Au Pairs in ancient Pompeii. Presumably someone was looking after the transport, though of course it remains an assumption

Among the elite, slaves took care of the kids.
Something is wrong here. War, disease, death, destruction, hunger, filth, poverty, torture, crime, corruption, and the Ice Capades. Something is definitely wrong. This is not good work. If this is the best God can do, I am not impressed.

Probably did them some good. The hand that rocks the cradle, you know.

Vesuvius Victim Died Just Steps From the Safety of the Sea, Skeleton Shows
The middle-aged man’s remains are the first of their kind found at Herculaneum in 25 years
Italian archaeologists have discovered the remains of a man killed by Mount Vesuvius’ eruption in 79 C.E. The victim, a man in his mid-40s, died on the beaches of Herculaneum while fleeing the volcano’s deadly blast of heat, ash, rock and debris, reports Agenzia Nazionale Stampa Associata (ANSA).
Found mere steps away from where the sea once met the shore, the ancient Roman spent his final moments clutching a small satchel that may have contained his prized possessions, writes Elisabetta Povoledo for the New York Times. Researchers have yet to fully determine its contents, but initial studies suggest the bag held a wooden box and a small iron or bronze ring.
