Well the Spartans left their weak babies on the mountains to die.
Then their were chagelings, when a parent blamed their children's mental and physical defects on fairies that had stolen their child and replaced it with a copy.
And of course both genders, mainly women, could be accused of being a witch which never ends well.
Everyone else died as a child, died from the medixal treatment was just the eccentric neighbour or was rich enough that their eccentricities were just accepted. Like for instance the roman emperor Caligula.
In short the modern idea of treatment/acceptance is preferable.
