Here in the US there are laws against child abuse and neglect. The child protection services of the local or higher government need to be contacted to protect the children and to have them investigate the matter.

As to what should happen to the parents, they would need to be stopped and brought to justice. This may mean prison or probation depending upon the severity of the crime. Most often times they will later say that getting caught or getting turned in was the best thing that could have happened, even though they may not think so at the time.

Parents neglect their children because they are either busy or they have more important priorities.
