Family?

He left a wife Jean. Any other family details? Valetude (talk) 17:12, 1 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, they had two sons: [1] However, template:infobox criminal states, "Do not include spouse unless notable or they are relevant to the crime," and since Jean wasn't really relevant to what her husband did, I decided not to include her in this article.

"since Jean wasn't really relevant to what her husband did, I decided not to include her in this article"

Neither are the children of Vahey relevant to the crimes he committed. It is grossly unfair to name the two Vahey children in this article. Both have unusual names which may be easy to isolate, for those of a peculiar mind set. Undoubtedly, naming them is an egregious invasion of privacy. I think their names should be removed, forthwith.
