My biggest fear in life is that somebody would do something unspeakable like this to my kid. I'd be in prison for the rest of my life over 3 little pieces of shite.

We all think this, and the urge would be there, but hopefully someone would be present to remind you that your child needs you available now and not in jail. And that children have a way of blaming themselves for anything bad that happens and would probably blame themself if you went to prison.

Nothing this horrible but I speak from experience and thank God my wife was able to speak rationally to me.
