The children on Lost have some unexplained significance and it seems that as of last season they are in great danger.
Aaron
Claire's baby, raised off-island by Kate and then given over the Claire's mum Carol. Or is she? Is it not just an act of the casting department, or is the fact that Carol is played by an entirely different actress than when she first appeared in "Par Avion" not a coincidence. She was in a coma; the doctors didn't give her much of a chance to live; in fact Christian Shepherd was pushing for pulling the plug. But she lived, not only lived, she made a miraculous recovery. And she mysteriously appeared at the right place at the right time and was seen speaking with Ben's attorney. She know has custody of Aaron and I think she is an imposter. An agent of Ben sent to grab Aaron and bring him back to the island.
Walt
The last we saw of Walt he was in NYC being visited by John and talking about seeing John in a dream. But he was also visited by someone else ... Ben. We don't see the immediate outcome of that visit, only that Ben later killed Matthew, but it's almost obvious that Ben wasn't just stalking Locke, but that he came for Walt ... again. They took Walt in the first place. Walt is special. Why? Hopefully they'll finally spill the beans on that one. But Walt, I think he's heading back to the island too, against his will.
Ji Yeon
Sun leaves her only daughter with her own parents, Mr. and Mrs. Paik, who just happen to have a business connection with a certain Mr. Charles Widmore. Not a very smart move on Sun's part, considering she now knows of the connection between Widmore and her father and Ben. Ji Yeon is special because she was not supposed to have been born. Had Sun never left the island, they both would have died. On top of that, Jin was supposed to have been sterile, so either Jin's not really the dad, or the island blessed his sperm. Anyways, Ji Yeon's in danger too.
Charlie Hume
This has been talked about before, but stupid Penny goes to visit her husband in the hospital and leaves her son with some nurse and in the presence of Eloise Hawking? I have a feeling little Charlie's not in good hands. I also have a feeling that little Charlie is going to do some time traveling and we'll see him go back in time, grow up on the island and become, his own grandfather ... Charles Widmore.
Clementine
Sawyer's daughter hasn't been given much story yet, but there's a lot of secrecy. First off, her mother just happened to run into Kate and help her at a time she needed help. Don't forget they also have a fortune that Sawyer left them after conning the guy in prison. There's much of that story to tell, but Clementine will most likely travel back to the island with the other kids.
And then what?
And then the war will happen. And whose side are the kids on? Well, some will be on Jacob's side and some will be on MIB & Widmore's side. Personally I think that we may have seen some of the kids before in their older versions. Walt/Abaddon, Aaron/Bram, Clementine/Juliet (that opens up a Freudian can of worms don't it Sawyer?). Let's see what happens.

Noo offense, but I think those theories seem to be too much for a 16/17 episode story arch. Plus Widmore's mother being the same as his daughter? Doesn't make sense.
don't forget about emma and that one boy from the tail section, along with the other kids from flight 815. (strangly in the middle and front section there was only 1 kid, walt)
I doubt any of the kids will actually be major ‘players’ themselves in S6. They may be brought up in some way with reference to their parents but that is all. IMO, there really isn’t enough time left now to develop them into significant characters in their own right., although we may get some further information regarding Walt and his unique abilities.
Hopefully we’ll learn why Claire ‘abandoned’ Aaron in the jungle too, but I suspect her ‘reasons’ for doing so will turn out to be more significant to the plot than finding out how Aaron is now actually fairing with his biological grandma.
I think that "if" the kids are brought into this it won't be for the war it will be after the war, I could definitely see all the second Generation Losties ending up on the same flight just like their parents and Crash on the island at the end, making this whole thing a circle but not as we thought with a time loop, but more like a "History repeats itself" thing.
^Yeah I just think in the end it might be something about reunion, and parents/children will end up together, wherever and whenever they are...
Please don't take offense anyone, but the same argument keeps coming up and I just have to rant here:
Whenever someone says that there isn't enough time in season 6 for Lost to introduce a new storyline or new characters, I always wonder if I'm watching the same show as they are. They just managed to introduce a major character who changed the entire plotline in only one episode. The MIB wasn't even hinted at before "The Incident", and now he's the subject of about 75% of all the theories posted on this site. Talk about miraculous character development in a short amount of time! Did he even get 2 minutes on screen?
I think they have proven to us that they CAN and WILL add new characters and plots even this late in the game. Anything goes with these guys... they are master storytellers and whatever they give us, we will love it!
I completely agree with Sawyers Grin. Widmore has been in about 5 episodes leading up to season 5. Last year everyone ranted and theorized about the backgammon "game" being between Widmore and Ben. The year before it was the "game" between Locke and Jack. And now its Flocke and Jacob. Faraday was in season 4 that last 14 episodes and like 4 episodes of Season 5. Its not a stretch to imagine that the kids coming could happen and be great.
Ana Lucia and Libby lasted less than one season. Ecko, a fan favorite last one season plus about 3 episodes before dying. Boone was a character for like 16 episodes.
Everyone is very "now" in their theories. No one mentioned Time travel until it was introduced and now its all they talk about. No one cared about the Fate vs Free will until a character who'd been around for 14 episodes said "whatever happened happened"
Richard being ageless didn't mean much to anyone through season 3 or 4 until he became a larger character in season 5.
Certain aspects of this show were pre planned but not everything. Nitpicking at every aspect of every scene isn't gonna explain more. It IS fun but not always factual.
We are not even sure if Man in Black is actually the smoke monster. It is assumed because they made us think it is.They also made us think Locke was resurrected and that Aliens ruled the island and cloning was possible. And Charlie was gonna live... then die... then live... then die... then live... and then he died.
That is what makes the show great. Broaden the theories. Just b/c Flocke is the last thing we saw... doesn't mean he's the most important. I remember when everyone thought Vincent was important.
