From what I read, he was a great dad who made one terrible, stupid mistake.
Is it a crime? Yup, it is. People make mistakes and break the law. Their intent might not have been to do so but they did and have to face the consequences.
I only posted this story because it helped me to see that sometimes the situation isn't as clear cut as "he/she is a terrible person".

I agree completely, but this guy covered the windows. This was not the first time he did this. This guy has a serious problem and he risked his kids life for it. Better for both of them if they take a little break away from each other.
