I wanted to show the extreme position of the legal principle in relation to children as the property of their parents. The child was considered property, just like a slave. There was no death penalty for the death of a slave. A miscarriage due to beatings was considered property damage. Although the TaNaKh describes the case of two women eating a child, nothing is said about their punishment for this.

The clan structure implies the solution of intra-family conflicts by the elders of the clan. If a parent eats his child, the grandmother has the right to kill her son, who deprived her of her grandson. The transfer of these cases to the jurisdiction of the state does not improve legal protection, but leads to the destruction of the family.
