[The Matrix]in Reloaded one of the ZIon councillors mentions having spent “the first 11 years” of his life asleep. How does liberating someone from the matrix work when you’re dealing with a child?


So like what happened with Neo, being contacted by computer then being encouraged to go to a specific location so they can do the finder\wake up program. How does all that stuff work if you’re dealing with someone who doesn’t have unlimited computer access or the ability to go out at night because they’re 11 years old?

Don't forget that Neo was an outlier because he was believed to be "the one." Morpheus says they have a rule against recruiting people Neos' age. Neo is either 37 or 28 years old, depending on which in-Matrix document is valid so the typical recruit is younger than this.

We also see a cadre of children in the Oracle's apartment that seem to understand what the Matrix is. So it would seem they find/recruit children and educate them on their situation "freeing their mind" without actually physically liberating them from the Matrix.

As to their methods, the scene in the Oracle's apartment comes across like an X-Men situation. Maybe she runs a school or day care, selecting children they think are amenable to being freed.
