his wife's death needs to be investigated.
Yea…..I wouldn’t be surprised if he had something to do with the passing of his wife
He killed the 6 yr. old first. Can you imagine how terrified the others were after that? Wow.
Why not call CPS & just say you can't handle it no more.
Imagine leaving this earth and this what happens to your babies. Omg
My heart breaks for the surviving child! I hope that the surviving child receives mental health support.
They probably all knew what was happening to each other and scared who was next. What a nightmare
He had the audacity to request a peaceful arrest…
