If you need help to learn that you shouldn't hurt/kill your own flesh and blood, or someone very close to it (kids if they're not blood-related or something), then you shouldn't have kids at all. No second chances on this stuff.
Now, I know they probably didn't mean to have her die in the fire chained to her bed.. but she shouldn't have been chained there in the first place. I think that counts on what I said above.
Hmm, that's pretty opionated, but that's how I feel. They can't come back from this and say, "Whoops, I messed up.. sorry.. I still have two more kids to try to do right with."
They may need to be studied to see how this (or similar) could be prevented in other parents that are stressed, but these guys definitely lost their "get to be a parent" cards.
