Read the biography of the story above - I am always interested in the psychology of these kind of things (in all criimes really) and this interested me.

Wow ... he's 21 already? Time flies!!! I had no idea it had been that long!
IMO, everyone - especially the press - ought to leave them alone and see what happens. They are now two adults with two children. Yes, nasty, horrible circumstances in the past that got them to this point, no doubt ... but what good will dredging up the past do now? Especially for those kids?
Maybe they will actually manage to have a good adult relationship. Probably not, though ... and in that case they will be no different from millions of us who did not manage to make our "first love" work out for the long haul.
I think that would be a truly misguided judge who would take those kids away from him and give them to her, should it come to that. Visitation, sure ... custody, no.

"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
