The other thing to consider is the profound emotional DAMAGE done to an HG+ child who is more than capable of comprehending adult conversations like that mentioned above.

Yes. frown A springboard to explaining so many things, even adults of wealth and social standing may be intimidated and coerced to go along with an unjust system when their own job and well-being may be on the line.

This may lead to drawing parallels in history, studying the holocaust and more, possibly with the messages that:
1) We are not alone in our experiences. In reading parallels in history, which character do we relate to...?
2) At another time when we may be tested and coerced, which character might we relate to then...?
3) May we find ourselves strong-willed to altruistically do the right thing.

There's a saying that "You can't unbake the cake". At the same time, bibliotherapy and discussion may help process the situation.
