If he thinks he is getting messages from heaven that people are out to get him, he is delusional and paranoid.

The authorities are not going enough.

When the wife and or kids wind up dead, everyone will point fingers and wonder how this happened.

So what would you do? Police have been called multiple times by multiple people. CPS has been called multiple times by multiple people. School has been made aware (all the way up to the head of school) by multiple people. What else would you do to help the kids?[/quote]

I would MOVE. This isn't rocket science. Even if they just rent for six months to start to get away from this insanity--he's likely to either blow his top or get treatment by then. Or both. [/quote]

I asked what PP would do to help the kids. Us moving doesn't help them. I'm not saying helping them is my main motivation, because obviously my own family comes first, second, third, and fourth, but my question was what else would PP do to help the kids.

There is nothing you can do for this man’s kids. Get out while you can.[/quote]
