Evil men

Stuff reports:

The deaths of three children and their father at the scene of a Manawatū house fire are being investigated as a suspected triple murder-suicide, Stuff understands.

Dean Field died at a property on SH1 in Sanson that was consumed by fire on Saturday afternoon. It’s understood police believe he killed his three children – August, Hugo and Goldie, aged 7, 5 and 1 – before taking his own life.

It is hard to describe the rage I feel towards men like this. They are often in custody disputes and see their children as possessions. They get so full of hatred towards their ex, they would kill their own children rather than let the ex “win”. They are deeply evil.

You could include Tom Phillips in the above. He may not have killed his kids, but he treated them as possessions and effectively kidnapped them so that instead of growing up with friends, family and school, they lived in misery in the bush for three years.

As parents, our natural instincts are to do everything we can to protect our kids from harm. To have a parent kill or abuse their kids as a weapon against other adults is just evil.
