It was neglect and it was a strategy!
A calculated, cruel way to ensure obedience.
They didn’t fail to feed their children, they chose not to.
There could have been food for everyone, if the children’s needs had been prioritised over those of the parents. But power tasted better than empathy.
Starvation made them weak.
Weak kids don’t argue.
Weak kids don’t resist.
Weak kids obey.
Weak kids remain trapped under the control of the parent.
Hunger wasn’t the side effect, it was the method.
They learned to scan their face before asking for dinner.
They learned that food was a privilege, not a right.
And they learned that love came last, after control, after punishment, after silence.
Hungry children make great props, evidence of hardship that paints the parent as the struggling hero, not the perpetrator.
They weren't struggling parents.
This wasn’t about survival.
It was about submission.
But this kind of truth is taboo.
No one wants to believe a parent could do that.
It’s easier to label it poverty, trauma, anything but intentional harm.
So the silence stays.
The lie survives.
And evil lives on, well-fed, protected by denial.
