In my PotV PbP, part of the group on a salvage mission to Nowy Huta (an industrial suburb of Krakow) was attacked by a band of kids living among the ruins. They called themselves the "Kings of Nowy Huta" and their motto was "f*** America, f*** the Soviet Union, f*** Germany- long live the Kings!" It was all very post-apocalyptical Lord of the Flies. They were armed with slings, slingshots, and crude clubs, spears, and bladed weapons. The players were able to fend them off without killing any of them (one of the older kids got his knee destroyed by Snakeye's South African mercenary PC, though).
The kids were originally from a couple of towns further east. A few months before my players met them, were sent to Krakow by their desperate parents but their bus was stopped and ransacked by marauders so they walked to Nowy Huta where they established themselves, subsisting mostly on scrounged canned goods and small game. By the time the PCs met them, a few were already suffering from accute radiation poisoning.
