We have no reason to think that Tammy's children didn't care about her. They seem to believe a scenario exists in which Chad could be innocent (didn't participate in planning and carrying out the murders). That would also open the possibility for their mother's natural death. They are clinging to the hope that their dad isn't a murderer and their mom wasn't murdered (you could say the same about the Morphew daughters). IMO, their eyes will be opened at his trial.
I tend to think the kids want to believe Alex and Lori committed all of the murders and Chad was just an unknowing accomplice. They want to get sympathy from possible jurors in their area/State/religion.
Never going to happen. Dream on kiddos.
 
Maybe the Daybell "kids" think they are honouring their father. In my view, they are dishonouring their mother. JMO
They aren't knowingly dishonoring her if they don't believe that she was killed by their father. If they thought that she was murdered by someone else (e.g. Alex sneaking into the house at night) they will probably state so. That is, IF the autopsy points to foul play.

What would happen if Chad's children turned their backs on him and he got acquitted (not much chance, but do they know that)?

BBM. That is likely JP's defense strategy as well. At the preliminary hearing he was hinting at Lori's close relationship with Alex (but also with MG). He also tried to imply that Chad's ideas conveyed in PAP speeches and his books weren't problematic (no zombies to be found).
 
Regarding Tammy and Chad’s kiddults, they are, as laughing mentioned, alive.

Some behavior like refusing to give LE statements without having the autopsy on hand as a reference first is hardly heroic.

On the other hand, I consider them to be victims (who are alive).

No matter each of their individual levels of denial about their father’s wrongdoing, no matter how susceptible each is allowing themself to be to support their father’s defense even at the cost of their own integrity, I find their position sympathetic. I can’t imagine losing one parent to (at best, in their minds) accidental death that LE is calling murder, and the other to (at best, in their minds) incarceration for false accusations. Then, that surviving parent “needs” you to get the autopsy-aligned, TV friendly truth out—- maybe when these kiddults are Chad’s age they will feel like they need a shower looking back on their behavior. But right now, I can’t imagine the pressure.

That said, LE was right not to release the autopsy without an interview IMO, and IMO CBS could be wrong to allow them to get their message out without first giving the information under oath to LE.
 
I have seen the coming soon on 48 hours commercial on this .
Where the Daybell's say their father is innocent. Local residents saw them filming a few weeks ago at the house.
Trying to get the sneak preview of 48 hours video.
Maybe we just think the Daybell children cared about their mother. Maybe they didn't respect her and really don't care@ jmomoomoo mooo
I'm with you. I've seen other cases like Drew Peterson and Cal Harris where the kids supported their murdering father over their victim mother. Disgusting!
 
Q: "Did your father Chad Daybell play any role in killing JJ and Tylee?"
A (all five children): "No."
Thanks for the heads up. Well now I know for sure what I won't be watching! When I said Drew Peterson earlier, I actually meant Michael Peterson. There are so many Peterson men murderers that it's easy to get names confused.
 
So how do the adult Daybell children account for JJ and Tyler murdered and buried in their dad back yard? How do the account for their father running (driving) from LE the day the children’s bodies are found? How can they face their Moms family? Explain to their moms family just how innocent (not) their dad is. There are so many questions I would like to to ask these adult children. They are in total denial…..how will they deal with the trial and hearing all the evidence.
Just what kind of hold did CD have over his family?! CD, has he ever heard of Karma? She will visit him one day.

oh really? Why were they on the Daybell property? I guess their mom (Tammy) helped Alex?
Disgusting.

I'm not sure if verified insider @Redvines86 still posts here but I'd love to get her take on this. In one of the Websleuths YouTube shows, she told Tricia that at least some of the children were no longer supportive of CD. I wonder what's changed.
 
These are going to be quite long - but their other hearings kept getting cancelled - so I will shorten this up a bit!

So how do the adult Daybell children account for JJ and Tyler murdered and buried in their dad back yard? How do the account for their father running (driving) from LE the day the children’s bodies are found? How can they face their Moms family? Explain to their moms family just how innocent (not) their dad is. There are so many questions I would like to to ask these adult children. They are in total denial…..how will they deal with the trial and hearing all the evidence.
Just what kind of hold did CD have over his family?! CD, has he ever heard of Karma? She will visit him one day.
Excellent questions. And how do they reconcile their father caught on video surveillance playfully slapping Lori Vallow's bottom... while their mother is still alive? Or eye witness accounts of Lori and their dad holding hands and kissing at the BYU-Idaho campus... again while their mother is still alive? What kind of faithfulness (or lack thereof) does that speak towards his marriage covenants? Or perhaps they don't think Chad was the person seen in the video, or they think Melani Gibb was lying about what she witnessed? Well how about Tammy's life insurance which their father increased shortly before her untimely death? Surely that raises eyebrows and concerns for them, doesn't it?And what of the rushed funeral? Or the rushed and secretive marriage to Lori afterwards, where he flits off to Hawaii and marries this woman within two weeks after their mother had been laid to rest?

Not to mention, as you so rightly pointed out, how the heck did Chad's soon-to-be new wife's two children end up so gruesomely murdered and covertly buried on HIS property... yet again while Tammy was still alive and well?!?

Insane! I know if Chad was my father I'd be asking him some pretty pointed questions and demanding answers about his behavior and activities during this time frame. This isn't about being delicate, or sensitive towards maintaining familial relations with your father, this is about murdered children, and quite possibly (insofar as evidence has been made available publicly) about a murdered mother. Surely, if you're being honest with yourself, you must acknowledge that evidence strongly supports that your father has more than just a passing involvement in these children's disappearance, death, and burial... in HIS back yard. I'm really struggling to see how anyone could see otherwise.

JMO.
 
How can they stand by their father's side and not admit that he participated in the murders of their own mother and two innocent children? That's insane and disgusting. He was caught with TWO dead children burried in his property.

It's one thing to say, "I don't know if he's involved, I hope he isn't, the person I know wouldn't be capable of doing something like this" and it's another thing to say "no, he didn't do it". Come on, he killed their mother!

BBM. They were asked the exact question in the interview, but the teaser clip doesn't include the answer. Perhaps Chad's children were told that he had been seduced by Lori, tricked by her and Alex, and that some of the alarming facts (Tammy dying and life insurance increase) were just coincidence. You need to operate on blind faith to believe something extremely unlikely to be true.

ETA: Maybe the children will wake up when Chad's upbeat text about Tammy's falling "death percentage" is presented in court. He was looking forward to her death.

Interesting thoughts.
 
The fact that the Daybell children support their Father doesn't surprise me at all. This is where knowing the culture of the family, religious beliefs, and values comes into understanding the mindset.

I won't go further into this, but understanding the LDS faith and culture is so much a part of this entire situation.
