The only innocent victims in this entire story are the children.
Beyond that, we do not know.

You are correct.

I DID start out with "I was wondering."
From that wondering, one sick poster accused me of excusing the father from the murders.

This IS a discussion site, isn't it? :o)

Yes it is. BTW, I think that GoLightly said the most important thing on this thread: We are all responsible to disarm our own buttons.

IMO, that is a brilliant, succinct way to say it and it is exactly why I love learning from these discussions!
