I'd be willing to bet on the theory that the father was under magic when Cosette arrived, but before that? It was clearly child neglect even when she was young, no matter what kind of excuse or justification.
Our lovely MC was heavily traumatized and now she's trying to explore new things. While I DO think it's right for the father-daughter to clear things up, I still think the father's behavior was unbecoming of a parent. He deserves at LEAST the cold shoulder from her daughter.
