- the political fallout from CoE: does earth get a clue or does it become more bleak and horrifying? Are the events of CoE when everything changes? - why wasn't the Doctor there, and how bad is the confrontation going to be the next time Jack and him run into each other?
Like garylapointe said, the number of deaths were relatively small, but yeah, it doesn't really make sense that no one would try to contact the Doctor, unless they really didn't realize the scope of the threat (Sarah Jane, Martha et al, probably had no way of knowing about the 10%, but you'd think controling all the world's children would seem threatening enough).
I wonder if this might be a fixed event. Even without the TW recordings, people could put two and two together well enough to at least get three (the children giving the numbers to equal 10% of each country's kids, the governments then rounding up those 10% (and did it happen simultaneously? Because, say, in the States it would have been early in the morning), Frobisher killing his family rather than have them 'innoculated', and probably more I can't think of right now). I could see this toppling a few governments and that might have enough of an impact that the Doctor couldn't/wouldn't interfere.
