But you don't leave your children in their care.

He could have (should have) had her committed to the state hospital until stabilized, or at least made sure someone else was always with her and the children - not depending solely on his mother.

Fitz, I love ya, and usually you do such a good job saying what I think, I don't bother to post. : ) But I can't go with you on this one. I agree that she deserves whatever she has coming, maybe more, but I can't picture you as the type to make excuses for this bozo.
Nor can I picture you as the type to let your children live in squalor just because you have a principle that, because it is the woman's job, if she can't/wont provide a healthy home, they'll just have to grin & bear it. That is typical Illbay, but you???

I keep wondering what personal experience you endured to get you off-track on this one. ; )

He should not have left them in her care ---the only thing is I think she never hurt the kids before and he left them with her about an hour in the am and an hour in the pm. I don't think he realized she was capable of killing them since apparently she had never injured them before.

I do find it odd that he seems to be sticking with her ---I think he's taking his marriage vows way too far. I don't know if you're supposed to divorce someone if they're mentally ill as bad as she was but I would not stay with someone who wasn't bathing and who was that psychotic. Maybe there is something wrong with him ---but I think it's possible he really is that committed to his religious beliefs and marriage vows.
