As I recall, even Cinderella's stepmother allowed her to eat. In fact, from the looks of her in the movie, she ate pretty well. Sadly, this story isn't from a kids fairy tale, and this step mother wasn't a made up cartoon character. Instead this step mother was left in charge of two young sisters, ages 6 and 7. She evidently spent her time with them by locking them in a basement and starving them... while her own children were kept upstairs well fed.
I can't imagine how anyone could be so cold and so cruel to a child, how a person could deny them the most basic of needs. Then again, I'm not sure how a father could go without noticing that his children were whithering away as he was coming and going.

The girls' stepmother, whose own biological children were found healthy and well-fed upstairs, was taken in for questioning. Their father, who travels frequently on business, would be questioned when he returned to town, police said.
State social workers discovered the girls after receiving a tip and checking in on their welfare. They then called police.
The two emaciated girls told police that they ate whenever their father was home, which wasn't a lot. With the father gone this week and next week, "they were really hoping they could eat this weekend," Bastian said.
