So do I. But keep in mind that espers sensing each other is something that 
works both ways. Even allowing for the fact that the attacking espers would 
be far more powerful than the child espers, it still seems at least somewhat 
likely that Shion or Raven would in turn sense the esper children at some 
point during the attack - although you could get away with saying the esper 
children were either too weak or not using their powers enough to be 
detected by the busy and distracted espers performing the attack. Or, they 
might just fail to guess that the espers they are detecting are more 
kidnapped children from the Zone; they may assume they are just sensing some 
minor espers that work for Jinsei. Just food for thought...
