Very selfish of the father to ruin the lives of others.

[@pjhey947]

So sad and narcissistic! Take your own life but those kids were robbed of adulthood.

[@rozchristopherson648]

Ladies, If you are dealing with an unstable husband, don't say anything about wanting a divorce or planning to leave. Just take your children and leave without notice. These kinds of horrors are often what happens when an unstable husband knows their wife is planning to leave them.

[@timeiswhat]

I see a lot of people pointing out how horrible and unfair this was to the kids, but let's not forget the mom... She didn't deserve any of this either, and her life is worth just as much as theirs. Awful all around for all four of them.

[@karacarlson4687]

Can never understand how someone could do this to their own family. This is just heartbreaking. You want to take your own life fine but to take the lives and futures of those kids is just unforgivable.

[@bridgetonowhere]

Domestic violence needs to be taken more seriously. Family annihilators are some of the lowest scum in the world.

[@mwah233]

It makes me so mad that people do this. Why harm innocent people? If you want to leave then go but don't go taking other people's lives who don't wish to be dead. People like this disgust me.

R.I.P. Renee Dunham, Evan Dunham, Amber Dunham and Melissa Dunham.

[@V.E.R.O.]

Poor kids and mom, this is happening too often these days.

[@thebastardgift]

I will never understand how a family member can literally destroy their family. What a hellish day, a hellish way to steal the lives of people...children. Sometimes, way too often, behind the white picket fence monsters dwell. I would say RIP to the mother and children but how can they when they are supposed to still be here, living life.

[@curiouslyme524]

I don't understand if someone is suicidal how they can take their family members with them. Especially children who have their entire lives ahead of them. So selfish & brutal. This is heartbreaking. I don't know what else to say😢.

[@mickymickymike4105]

This is why you should never envy people or assume that they are happy or rational. Just because someone has a family, lives in the suburbs and makes good money, doesn’t mean that they are good people. You also can never truly know a person either, even if you live with them. I’ll never understand crimes like this. How could you start a family, gain trust, and just end them all? RIP to the victims.

[@LisaBuckley-lf7sl]

Domestic violence is heart breaking and can happen to anyone, anywhere. My condolences to the friends and family.

[@flutenstuf]

Rest in peace to the children and the mother 😢

[@michaelmorehouse8872]

Please please please, if you are feeling or seeing different...

[@X1GenKaneShiroX]

I’m 7 days late, but may Jason Dunham rest in peace and be rejoiced in heaven. Jason was one brilliant man with so much to live for and so much potential, he will certainly be missed. This isn’t going to be the only time this happens because it happened in other states recently.

[@sylvia2015]

So many families in despair due to financial, mental health, domestic situations and don't get help. I feel such sadness for these children and their mother. My condolences to this beautiful family. Rest in peace.

[@sarassentiments]

This was so gut wrenching. What a great loss.

[@bloodraws]

I was friends with them. I miss them so much. They were so kind and nice. They didn’t deserve this. I’m praying for their family and the people that have been affected

[@caseymajor4803]

It's always Ohio
