TheWoWDBCaptive children are freed from Veil Skith Cages at the Skith camp south of Shattrath by using Veil Skith Prison Keys. The keys drop from both the Dreadhawk's and Windrippers at the camp, at about a 20-25% rate.
There are four cages at the camp, two on the ground (one on the east side another on the west side toward the western tree tower), and two up in the trees (one on each tree top). The ground cages free 2 children each and the tree cages free 4 each, so it's more efficient to use keys on the tree cages whenever the children have respawned inside those.

How do you explain to these kids that you aren't going to open their cage because there's not enough kids locked inside of it? :(
You cannot get this quest until you complete one from Rilak the Redeemed in Shattrath City.

Battered Steam Tonk Controller, 4,100 XPDescription
We broke down here because some guys came in the night and made a lot of noise. It was scary. I don't know when we are going to get moving again. Some of my friends are missing though. I don't know where they are. I think those scary bird men took them away to the northwest. They probably are all locked up in cages and stuff. If you find them that would be great. I'm kind of worried about them.

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.
