They were all ok. The first one was an infant who was mailed just a mile away. The parents had basically paid the postal service to carry the 8 month old to her grandparents. The others mostly just rode in the mail cars on trains. Nobody in a sack or crate. At least for some, the mail carrier was family anyway.
They were OK, yes. A prank? Not exactly. It was just cheaper than buying an extra train ticket, so the kids would get sent through the mail while thrifty adults would take a regular transport.
