^^^What you're describing is really common practice in certain countries. In their orphanages, kids spend 24 hours/day in their cribs. No one picks them up. They don't get ANY sort of stimulation and they don't get the proper nutrition. Their brains just don't get the chance to develop the way it should, and it leads to some pretty serious developmental delays/disabilities. Sometimes, if the child is young enough, they can "catch up" (with the help of speech therapists, intervention specialists at school, etc.) but if they've been in that environment for too long, the damage is more pervasive.
