Abandoning children was a common practice in medieval times. Especially when people starved to death. Imagine baking your bread out of clay (yeah, people were that desperate) and see yourself and your children starving to death, combined with illnesses and whatnot. 'Hensel & Gretel' is based on that. The people of Downwarren had no idea, the crowns would EAT their children - they may have believed, that they die, but they genuinely believed their 'ladies' would give their children a better (after)live. And for one child, the whole family (with multiple other children) survives. Tell me, you wouldn't struck that deal too.
