I think we can guess why they were considered suspicious. The OP got caught using a child ticket and then almost immediately started using tickets with a railcard discount. It isn’t an unreasonable suspicion that the one time they got caught isn’t the only time they have been dishonest, nor that changing to using a railcard discount instead of buying a child ticket was just another way of illegitimately saving money.At least it's the end of the matter (although might still be worth requesting details of the 15 journeys, so you are aware of why they were considered in the first place).
In this instance it turns out the OP was caught the only time they did something wrong and the railcard discounts were perfectly legitimate, and the sum demanded was reduced accordingly which is also fair enough.
