Horrifying on 6,000 levels. I'm so mad that man was so selfish and evil, and ruined so many lives. And I'm mad at our system, for letting this happen to those babies...

Ugh this whole scenario reeks...I feel so sorry for the children.

When I first heard this story, I hoped that he killed the kids first, because being burned to death is a horrible way to go.

If there is a hell, I hope he burns in it. Those poor little boys.
