The incident also highlighted the lack of access to such information when loved ones aren't able to sign.

Sign language isn't the only method of sensory perception.

Do these deaf children also have difficulty smelling farts?

Seems like a dubious premise.

Can confirm that many deaf people have had the experience of learning that farts make noise in an embarrassingly public setting, it's A Thing.

Smelling doesn't tell you who dealt it.

Many Deaf people have heightened senses of smell and vision.

This increased perception gives them an edge against the fart-dealing deception.
