Couple of questions on recruiting practice

[Tiberius Clodius Corvinus]

Ave Matt,
thanks for the helpful response. Laudes.

9.) Is there evidence that the Roman military took care of these kids?

Why should it? The whole point of forbidding soldiers to marry was to remove the problem of dependents. Sure, there might have been kids who grew up as unofficial "mascots", but officially they are not the army's problem.

Maybe you misunderstood me here, I was not so much on something like a kindergarten. I thought the Roman military might have had a keen interest in future loyal recruits and would have special ways to tie the kids to the army very early. :?
