Clearly, due to the short run, the FBI had not thought properly or logically about what they did.
Kitan makes a very point here but, the real question is does children involved know there were posted, and what kind of content was it? If it was your traditional example of Uncle Touchies basement then yes, they would quite traumatized from such an event. If it was content such as underwear or bathing shots, they did not know that were being exploited. Since it was a bait and hook OP, I doubt they would inform the parents that there child was involved in such acts. This was a non issue in the pre-internet days in which I grew up in, hell on 56k porn was hard enough to view and kids back then had more home and neighborhood stuff to do. Now in this day and age, even if Mom and Dad says no to a facebook account; they just make one anyways and use a fake name and start posting away, which opens the door for contact and content to be available for these types of CP sites. Even if the parents try there best to monitor there kids actives, there is a lot of smart kids who just hack off the protection put in place by there parents. It's getting the point to were you could receive a picture message from a number you do not know, your first thought is who's this texting me? You open it up and a picture of teen topless or a dick pic. According to the law you are now in possession of CP, even if you do the right thing and report it you can get a lot of trouble just for keeping that message to report it.
Which is unfair cause you did not request it, even if you don't report it, and parent finds your number texted in there phone. That parent is calling the authorities on you, then you get involved in a very tricky legal issue.
