@The Long Quiet meh, allowing abuse of a child to happen is almost the same as abusing the child yourself. "I did not know they were treating her so bad"- so what? It just means you did not care enough to know what was going on in your child life, he deserves no forgiveness.
@Shirosei Exactly my thoughts. He after losing his wife her mother should have been the one most in charge of what was happening around his own child. The fact that he left it to some random who-re he slept with while he was still married is truly proof that he did not deserve to be called a parent, he might as well be the abuser himself because he left her to that situation he did not try to make sure that she wasn't being mistreated or treated poorly by The strangers he left in his house.
@Shirosei allowing the abuse implies awareness of it. Dude assumed, naively and mistakenly, that the staff would treat his daughter well and never bothered to check.
