I'm also curious: as a mother, if you are one, at which point did you decide that one or some of your children didn't have to have their basic needs met?
Because, hypothetically, one of your children could have a chemical imbalance which is prone to one becoming a psychopath? So you starve this child instead of​ seeking medical​ help? And I could offer up thousands of justifications for starving one's​ child....It doesn't make it a healthy ethos....
