I'd kill innocent people under the sheer assumption my kids were in danger.
What does this mean?
It means no one is going to take care of your children like you will.
Regardless of the "tough guy" call out, I certainly wish the dad in this case was a tough guy or at least a strong beta that didn't ignore all of the warning signs and direct instruction from professionals.
Maybe he wouldn't be sitting at home alone with three dead kids, a crazy wife that's going to get away with murder, and no shortage of online milksops trying to mentally absolve this guy of all wrongdoing.
I understand your premise but you also said you'd kill an innocent person over the assumption they're going to harm your children. Going to prison for murdering someone you thought was going to hurt your kids is a pretty crazy mindset too. You being locked up isn't helping them either.
In hindsight, he probably lives with the guilt of not getting them out of there but also his wife killing all his kids probably wasn't realistic thought in his head, Pretty heavy on the victim blaming saying he should have killed her or removed them after the fact. He was completely in a no win situation because she couldn't get her **** together.
You also have the very real possibility if he divorced her, she'd get some kind of custody, especially in Massachusetts. So divorce her and lose any real control of the situation when the kids are with her. He's the victim not the problem.
