I like "orphanize" - one of those things that shouldn't be a word, but is!

NGL, Orphaniser or Orphanizer sounds like one hell of a metal band name

Alternatively a depressingly realistic look at the consequences of war for non-participating children, couched in the veneer of an 80s Sci-Fi movie.

"YOUR PARENTS WILL NOT BE BACK"

Or a Shark Tank-style infomercial product. "It's The Orphanizer, From Ronco!"

What would it do? Delete all memories of a childs parents from their brain, making them think they've been orphans all along?

Seems like it'd be easier and more honest to have it just kill the parents.
