On that day there won't be any no item embarks. You're not supposed to go that far down the challenge rabbit hole. 

You put a chest in the hospital, that's what's going on. There's some bug which causes dwarves to assign all of the cloth/thread they can get their hands on to the hospital, which leaves none for your clothing industry. They'll also steal all your adamantine threads before they can be forged into wafers.

You know, it's posts like these that make me think those goblin snatchers are doing the kids a favor.

Well, have you looked at the snatcher messages?

To save you time, here they are straight from snatcher_profession.txt ....

I rescue lost children and bring them back to [CONTEXT:PLACE:TRANS_NAME].

So yes, given some of the 'child care' being attempted here, I could see the children being rescued...

Very apt. And i thought the thoughts of snatched children were just a bit of serendipity.

If there are still living relatives of an abducted child in your fort, you can look through their relations, select the goblinised child and take a look at its thoughts. Since the game, in order to properly unload the units, takes the child out of the snatcher's bag upon reaching the map border, the child invariably gets the "is happy to be free" thought. Of course, this is _also_ a good description to how a child would feel after being removed from a fort were children are commonly subjected to "... child care" or !!science!!.
