I understand the suspicions about the parents. Based on my exposure to them, I would be VERY surprised if anything like that is going on. Honestly, the thought never crossed my mind, and I am very comfortable with assuming that no such mistreatment is going on. These are not bad people. This just appears to be a case of an only child that gets bored at times w/o a playmate a home, and the benefit of having neighbors with kids similar in age who can keep the child busy/entertained when convenient.
