You are doing a brilliant job of placing me firmly on Edward's side. This is how I feel at the moment (I know I might change my mind if you reveal something really heinous he has done - more heinous than murder, you enquire? Yes, more heinous than that latest one anyway.) So, at the moment, I want Edward to use every skill he has to combat this plan. This might seem odd because Edward surely hasn't been presented as excellent parental material, but his father seems even worse, although I'm not sure I really have abundant evidence of that other than that he doesn't seem to have any positive emotions and no empathy.
