While all this was going on, one part of society that did notice that something was amiss was the children. Their parents seldom seemed interested in them and were focused on working up at the big house. It fell on the older children to look after the younger; though some households didn’t have that luxury. These poor souls often ran ragged around the household waiting for their parents to come home who were too exhausted to do anything for them. Livelihoods were neglected which meant that income was scarce and not much in the way of provisions were being obtained. Some of the little ones wanted attention and set out after their parents; but not all of them could keep up with the pace. Some perished because of not being streetwise enough while others got lost within their surroundings. Those who did manage to find their parents again were in for a gruesome surprise.
