The mother has presented well (or been presented well) in recent media reports, however there were very good reasons Tom had sole custody at the time he first "went bush" so I very much hope, for the sake of the children, that they don't end up back with her.
The natural assumption of many was that the reason he disappeared with the kids in the first place was that he was preventing the mother taking the kids off him, however that wasn't the case at all. He had sole custody and there was no suggestion of that changing anytime soon.
With him now dead, we'll never know why he did what he did but hopefully they're able to find the two missing kids in time and none of the three are too permanently damaged by the whole thing (no way it won't affect them each in some way for the rest of their lives though).
