Dad gets criticism for NY mom who killed their kids

SPRING VALLEY, N.Y. (AP) -- Jean Pierre didn't kill his kids. It was their mother, not their father, who took the three little children with her in a suicide plunge into the Hudson River this month.
But Pierre, 26, has come under constant criticism. He's been vilified for cheating on Lashanda Armstrong, labeled a deadbeat on child support and charged with being a danger to children, all of which his lawyers dispute. Armstrong's family decried Pierre's decision to hold a separate funeral and burial for the children, rather than the joint service they'd planned. One relative accused him of rigging the guest list at the funeral and even took exception to the way he mourned his children during the service.
Experts say that because Armstrong, 25, of Newburgh died with the children April 12, a human impulse to blame someone has focused on the father.
"It's really good to have someone to blame," said Dr. Philip R. Muskin, professor of clinical psychiatry at Columbia University. "Appropriately or not, having someone to blame gives us an answer, and we like answers."
