Hello!
Well maybe if you're talking about children you used to know when you were young, you could say "I wonder what has become of them?", meaning you wonder what has happened to them, what kind of life they have, what kind of persons they have become.

Yes, exactly; as in this poem by Robert Browning:
What's become of Waring
Since he gave us all the slip,
Chose land-travel or seafaring,
Boots and chest or staff and scrip,
Rather than pace up and down
Any longer London town?
... etc
MrP
