I'm saying why should the siblings be punished with losing their father, when they've just lost 4 siblings.

I'm saying that losing 4 of your kids is a hellish enough punishment of itself.

What does anyone gain by imprisoning the guy? Is he a danger to society? Will others be deterred? The deaths of the children is deterrent enough to not modify a vehicle.

A prison sentence isn't going to add anything other than more misery to an already destroyed family.
