+2In my opinion he seems greedy & seeks nothing but fame & money. Any normal father would be devastated about the death of their child (no matter how old) but it seems like he is seeing $ signs by shamelessly plugging his record company instead of grieving for the son he has lost. It makes me so angry when I think about the things he did to his children & how he deprived them of a normal childhood for his own material gain. I can't look at him.

How terrible!!! Forcing his children to perform and making them afraid of him!!
