Forgive me if this has been asked before, but I tried to search the forum wider for similar issue to no avail. So this issue actually had been with me since I started Chapter 3 from the earlier SS2 version (pre 3.1.x), where I was using Deep Clean Settlement mods which also can help in turning child settlers into full settlers (assignable to jobs and all that). We knew
where these settlements has child settlers that I've mentioned.
Apparently, patches after patches of SS2, and these child settlers got stuck in hostage/prisoner mode where they were yelling for help all the time. I tried to use console commands to disable/enable, resurrect, recycleactor and the flag won't go away; I assume I had screwed up somewhere but had gone to far to restart from previous saves and kept going with this issue because these child settlers still continue with their job even though they were yelling for help all the time.
After updating to 3.2.0 I just realized that apparently there are additional context menu (similar one to manage soldiers) for prisoners, and when I opened it there are two options which is set free or ransom. If I choose set free, these child settlers were gone and cannot be returned using console command (moveto). So my questions are:
certain settlements will be taken over by the gunners, such as warwick and somerville place

- Can we remove these hostage/prisoner flag with console command?
- If we set them free using the context menu, is it impossible to get these NPCs back?
