Answer: Leave them in the Field of Leaving to die

Step-by-step explanation:

In the village where Kira lived, if a child was born weak or with deformities, the Council and the village would recommend that the child be taken to the ''Field of Leaving'' outside the village where they would eventually die if they were not first killed by wild beasts who go there sometimes.

Kira was almost left there as she had a leg deformity but her mother used her influence to stop this from happening.
