The Lost Boys would’ve been better off staying in Neverland, at least they know how to survive there. First they’re taken back to Storybrooke with the promise of family (Which wouldn’t happen unless Emma and Snowing do an Oprah and go “You get a lost boy! And you get a lost boy! And you get a lost boy!” to all the people of Storybrooke. Then when Regina destroys the curse they’re transported back to the EF where they are all alone with no family.
