If you were cohabitating them as an adult with a baby you're lucky the adult didn't eat the baby beardie because beardies don't see baby beardies as their babies, They see them as a potential food source.. Leading to the adult eating the baby one.
If it's matter of money - many families are on tight budgets , and mom and dad who just don't know anything about reptiles or care to know , will simply put small / young with large adults …. it is very dangerous for the smaller dragon , as said , unless it can escape and hide from the larger adult , even it's own mother or father , it WILL eventually become a snack.
If you can't afford a shop bought rearing tank for the little dragon, then housing it in a converted plastic tub is much better than keeping the two together , this is how to set up 100L - 150L tub as a rearing tub : viewtopic.php?f=34&t=233480 , a tub this size will cost maybe $30 , add a hide, a food dish , and either a MVB and a dome , or domestic par38 colorless spot globe and dome + 26W UVB200 in NanoHood and a couple of pieces of plywood of MDF offcuts and some kitchen paper toweling and you have very good place to rear the little dragon until either it reaches 12 to 15 months old and outgrows it or you can afford a second shop bought tank (or 2 bay (stacked vivs) beardie apartment building.
