[DebMichael_]

This dude was a tough guy with his 3 young babies, but totally compliant and respectful of men and the PD. Coward is the only word I can think of. 🤬

[christina]

Parents this is what enabling your kids does! The father dismissing his charge against him is sick! Then to say "he's not a violent person" HE CHOKED YOU!

[Kimm.x]

Dear God, please give the mother and daughter all the strength they need to cope with this horrible tragedy.. 😢❤

[ChristinaJ]

He hated his wife more than he loved his boys. May he rot in prison & then burn in

[CurvaciousXOXO]

I can’t imagine how scared those baby boys were and for their mother to have to watch that. It makes me absolutely sick…. He did the worst thing a parent can do

[loretta]

I thought the Watts case was horrific. This is right up there with extreme narcissist behavior. What a psycho…

[usakiwi]

Hearing the mother scream you took my life, my babies, was heart wrenching

[catasrophieGrrl]

He's not insane and he didn't snap. We all know a person like this. Someone who blames every feeling and emotion inside himself on someone outside of themselves. "He made me crash." "I had to drink drive, it's not my fault." "She made me hit her." etc. "I had to cheat on her, she gained weight." "He made me quit my job." This is that personality at it's ultimate conclusion. Other people are responsible for their actions, but we are responsible for how we react and how we control our own emotions. He could control it but refused to.

Someone needs to start a gofundme for the mom. She's not going to function normally for a long time and is gonna need help. She doesn't need the retraumatization from having to apply for government benefits.
This breaks my damn heart. Those boys are true perfect angels now.

[biancakarteron]

The hatred he had for the mother of her boys. Horrible. Bastard.

[chelemybelle]

There is NO reason for this horrible act of violence. You will NEVER answer why!

[vickinoeske]

Chad's father is delusional and in denial. He doesn't want anyone saying anything bad about his son. Give me a break. There is no excuse for killing three innocent children.

[jackiecyr]

How can he walk right past his dead children and not even look at them and see what he did..disgusting😡😡😡😡

[lillynomad]

Narcissist wants a trial to further torture the family. Endless cruelty.

[Eyewonder]

Another case of "But he's such a GOOD boy", while the rest of us have to deal with who he really is.

[luv]

This is the worse case I’ve ever heard. I truly can’t wrap my head around how evil he is

[maryflynn]

His father saying he wasn’t violent after he had done something to him and he didn’t show up as a witness to hold him accountable? The neighbor saying he was mean and verbally abusive every day 😮

[JaneDoe-rjjn]

Those little boys were absolutely adorable. How you can look at them and pull the trigger is unfathomable.

[robelmamo]

He killed not only the children but the mom & her daughter…you can actually hear her saying “ he took my life” … this pos intent looks like he wants the mother to suffer. Otherwise why would he decide not to kill the mom . He is a new breed of evil .

[SunnyDeee]

There are so many children abused and killed by their parents, it is SHOCKING. I cannot think of anything WORSE than being tortured, abused, humiliated by the exact same person that should be your PROTECTOR, your heaven, your sanctuary, your moon and your sun. It breaks my heart. That innocence and those beautiful souls, rest in Heaven!
