I think if they're all queer, no intervention is needed. the closer they are to the sorts of people he would have wanted them to be, the more intervention would be necessary.
I agree it's not fair to them, but also, if you want to suggest anyone should be punished for anyone, that it's ever appropriate, then not using collective punishment to make an example via relatively small interventions in his children's lives is kind of absurd. it's not about them, it's not even about him. punishment is a message to others who come later.
and there is no argument against this that doesn't sound like boot licking nonsense from anyone who isn't a total prison abolitionist.
