Poor Giselle. She was blatantly neglected in various ways. I wonder why her parents were feigning ignorance of her magic though. I didn't really see any reason to do that.
I suppose it could be to hide it from other magicians, but why? Are care fees more expensive that way? It didn't sound like they really wanted to keep her around, so why bother keeping her and hiding her then?
I don't understand.

It seems pretty obvious to me. Magicians would take their child away as a matter of course and we're getting the reports from a biased source that gets to take them away.
If they REALLY hated or resented their child that much they could have outright killed her, dumped her off at some foreign orphanage, or sold her. The current arc shows that there's a clear market for magical babies. I'm not gonna pretend to push my headcanon as real, but it's plausible that they really just had no damn idea how to handle a kid that can go Akira on them at any moment. Most parents don't know wtf they're doing and wing it to begin with. Couple that with mana overload causing madness to lower mana people and we've got a real dangerous situation where interaction reasonably has to be kept to a bare minimum. Were they neglecting Jill by not spending time with her or were they making sure everyone didn't go turn into crazy axe murderers?
Even our male lead was dumb enough to bind, gag, and not properly feed Jill the entire time that he wasted interviewing multiple maids long enough for his dense self to notice a pattern of them throwing themselves at him,getting a recommendation from the prince, and finally reaching our protagonist. It's a miracle Jill didn't starve to death and that the magic circle/binding must have an anti poop function encoded in it.
Or if we use later chapters
Regulating mana is also so incredibly easy to handle once you teach a kid to do it once that the idea of them being dangerous is complete garbage.

We see conjecture that our male lead's father was chasing him through the flames because he thought his son was burning to death. It's said that the family didn't care about him, yet they still educated him and let him enjoy his reading hobbies instead of dumping him off at birth. It makes the whole magicians department look more sinister when one realizes the author (probably accidentally?) made implications that they kidnap and brainwash children into having loyalty to the guild/royalty with cult tactics.
