No, I don't think you can assume that, Val.
Any number vof reasons ( depending on age of child) - abandoned by parents, parents were unfit, child was ill or handicapped etc. I have a relative who was a workhouse inmate from toddler to age 39. She was deaf and dumb. Her father paid a small weekly sum for her upkeep.
