The Wikipedia article said he beat her with a paddle in front of their other children the day before. And didn’t buy her anti-psychotic medications because their pastor believed all mental illness was demonic

I have no idea how bad the backlash was on either of those 2 outside what I read on the wiki page, but it seems like the father was halfway responsible for the outcome, yet he just had to have his sister live with them for a bit to regain his children? I have no idea how beating your wife would ever be ok for him to not lose his rights also. His decision making skills also suck...
