Yeah it seems crazy to think that one would (first) jump to the conclusion that the kid is a witch, but also (second) that you'd then disown them for it. Like literally reject this little kid that can't fend for itself at all. It's pretty messed up. I'm glad that this little kid did find someone who could help, I just feel sorry for any others that weren't so lucky :/
When I was very young, I was in a cancer ward in a children's hospital here in Scotland. There was a two-year-old boy who had been dropped off at the ward by his parents, who then said they didn't want him anymore. The hospital had to get a court order to continue treating him because the parents refused to have anything to do with their son.
This little boy would try to get hugs from the parents of other kids. Sadly, his treatment didn't work.
My mum still cries about that boy. When he died, the other parents took turns to sit with him so he didn't die alone. At least he knew love and affection at the end.
