After seeing Killer Croc out, Schiller looked over the newly furnished children's bedroom, thinking that he still had to go to the station that evening to pick up Billy's personal belongings Victor had packed, then collect him from school.
After Brainiac took over Earth, he instituted a system of communal child-rearing. Simply put, humans were only responsible for giving birth. Once a child was born, they were handed over directly, raised in a nursery until school age, and then sent straight to school.
This was obviously because the gap between the best and worst human parents was simply too great. If everything relied on family education, the potential of most humans would never be realized. The species was weak enough already, and if they could not even educate their children properly, Brainiac, an artificial intelligence, felt humanity had no bright future ahead.
So, although humans found it difficult to accept this approach, Brainiac still enforced the policy with absolute determination.
But after it had been implemented for a while, humans discovered that it had its benefits. Brainiac was not the cold, purely logical machine they had imagined. He was far more advanced than that. Though he could not experience things like familial affection, he understood that humans had such needs and did his best to fulfill them.
