Kids with parents at war are at a distinct disadvantage in life, and now with their parents dead, perhaps it will get worse, but with luck perhaps they will find a new life with people who love them more than they love to hate each other.

Every single person who is the son or daughter of parents at war knows the incredible pain these people bring to every aspect of life.

And anyone who is the product of a "happy" family will NEVER understand.

Yes, parents at war do bring a tremendous amount of pain into this world. Lets pray that the kids recover from this.

The existing divorce system needs a radical overhaul. It is bringing too many families to this end of events. The domestic violence occuring in court under the guidance of the legal system must end.

I believe the article stated the wife is alive, altho in critical condition at the hospital.

I pray for her sake and the childrens' sake that she pulls through without lasting physical damage.

It's just awful those poor kids had to experience this.

And anyone who is the product of a "happy" family will NEVER understand.

The pain and suffering of children whose parents are at war, is a thing which will profoundly affect them for the rest of their lives.

Every child should love and respect his parents, regardless of what they have done. Yes, it is a struggle to do so. Many times, that love and respect is wholly contained in forgiveness.

Children with loving and wise parents should treat their great good fortune with joyful gratitude.

"now with their parents dead,"

I didn't see where it said the mom died; it appears she was shot but lived.

Unfortunately, it seems that in the past 15-20 years, the number of children from broken homes has seemed to surpass those from stable marriages. It probably isn't true, but it wouldn't surprise me if it were true.
