Storm is not being deprived of anything -- rather it is the rest of the world that is being kept from a secret.
People like the author of this article are freaking out because they don't know how to deal with it.
The authoritarian ideal is to keep other people in check, have them conform to society. When they can't keep this child in check, they feel left in the dark.
They're scared -- not necessarily because they think something bad will happen to the child, but because they're denied the ability to keep this child in check.
The author alludes to "human sacrifice, cannibalism, and slavery" throughout history in his article, in attempt to prove that humans are inherently evil unless kept in check by society.
I can't fully agree with that kind of philosophy... I feel the inverse is also true; it is just as easy for people to be inherently good, however still suspect to being corrupted by society.
"Human sacrifice, cannibalism, and slavery" do not speak for all people of past civilizations; they're only examples that evil people can claim power and establish their own warped views on how to keep others in check.
