Theres no mention of his incarceration in a mental facility due to a suicide attempt 6 months into being taken from Pennsylvania and the safety of his grandparents home. Definately No mention of his obsession with wanting to die. Or statements he made about wanting to be dead due to the fact that he couldnt rise above the years of abuse and control the monster within due to the years of abuse. The same woman who did this to them was given custody of his children and spent a year abusing them. The five year old was shot repeatedly with a paintball gun running around like a hamster in a cage to get away.They were all forced to watch the other children play their video games and werent allowed to touch them. all three of them were forced to walk up and down stairs 100 times for simply running in the house when two other children were running after them, if they stopped or got out of breath they had to start all over agian. What of a 7 year old forced to do 100 push ups and 100 situps for an infraction that he doesnt even recall.Or the 7 year punished severly for telling the counselor he couldnt take it any more. Or being screamed at for loving their mother and told she took a knife and went ugh and stabbed Daddy over and over killing him. i think the wrong people were even at trial for this. Erin was abused severly both mentally and physically his whole life. What are the chances of him growing into a violent alcoholic due to it all. He was a wonderful man and father sober and his wife always wanted to believe he would over come it all. So when will the REAL abusers ever be served their justice they are still out there ruining more children, and now playing the role of the poor victims that lost a child at the hands of a crazy woman. sorry to rant but i find it repulsive they they walk away leaving all the carnage and it was always Erin's fault or the wifes fault or whatever child that acts out from the abuse..

I worry about the safety of the children. An impulsive, violent person can just as easily kill a child as a spouse. That is relevant to any court proceedings involving custody or visitation of the children. Given the blind spot that some gender-biased judges have about domestic violence against male victims, you may need to remind judges that, in both law and fact, Teressa Turner-Schaefer perpetrated domestic violence of the most extreme kind by killing her husband. Women who commit violence against their husbands often go on to commit violence against other relatives. Lorena Bobbitt attacked her own mother, for example, after she escaped punishment for cutting off her husband's appendage.
