 Children could be shapeshifted, eaten alive, kidnapped, or turned into food.Due to many of the parents' child neglect and lack of discipline, many of the outcomes of their children's stories do not appear to affect their lives.Some of the workaholic parents are too busy to notice that their child has either been maimed or has disappeared and others are implied to be such insignificance in their children's lives that they do not appear as characters in the story.
