Lost children

. In the summer we often catch tiny snakes and lost children.Pokng and prodding them with our feet until they are packed closely together in boxes. Their end is swift and human.

1.What does the writer mean by Lost children?

2.I don't understand 'Their end is swift and human.'as well.

1. Lost children = children who are lost (literal meaning) 2. Their death is quick and humane Human in the original sentence seems to be a mistake because human and humane are not synonymous.
