I'm definitely not someone who will jump to thinking the worst of someone, but that's just extreme callousness to the Nth degree that comes off as extremely... suspicious. The very best scenario is that it's someone who wants to believe in a just world so bad he keeps making up reasons why even kids are fully responsible for everything bad that may happen with them. Reminds you of those dads who are like "I would be around for my kid more but I just don't vibe with their personality, you know, it just happens that you don't wanna hang out with someone". Sure, but not your own freakin' kid, you monstrous moron!
