    could 'sowieso' replace "sonst auch" here?

      I thought it could, but DL marked me wrong.

      Yes, you can express it that way

      Where does "auch" fit in here? Wouldn't the sentence work without it?

        I think "Die Kinder haetten es sowieso herausgefunden" would be a correct response as well?

        I agree, that is a valid translation

          Could these work:

          1. "Die Kinder hätten es jedenfalls erfahren."
          2. "Die Kinder würden es sonst auch erfahren haben"

            Also, what about "Die Kinder hätten es auf jeden Fall erfahren."?
