Compare that to all the abuse and neglect that goes on and seems like he did the right thing to me.
It was cruel and tough, but at least he thought about the children.

I would have had more respect for his decision if he had at least attempted to take care of them before dumping them off. There are plenty of people in this world that are widowed with families, some large families. Many don't have family or resources available to them and they still keep their families together. Again it would also be more understandable if they were all really young children. A child 10 and above is very capable of contributing to the family by helping.
And if it was a selfless sacrifice to help his children why didn't he ensure that he didn't get someone else pregnant. Why also when he entered into a new relationship and could be a 2 parent household he didn't attempt to reclaim at least some of his children.
From his own mouth

That's pretty sad. So god forbid something happens to this one it would be okay for him to dump yet another kid on the state?
