Absolutely. Not only to avenge them, but because someone who kills innocents is likely to do so again. And a dead killer is better than any dead innocents.
No, I wouldn't. I've been in a somewhat similar situation where my only son was killed because of the actions of someone else.
Was I hurt? Deeply. Was I enraged with anger and dark, horrifying thoughts of murder? Sadly, yes.
But I can say I never acted on those thoughts. Why? Two wrongs don't make a right. 2nd: Taking their lives wouldn't feel the empty void of loss I felt. Nothing will ever "fill" the void--I will always miss my son. But I have hope in seeing him again in Heaven.

I'm sorry for the loss of your son,and you're right taking someone else's life doesn't fill the void of losing a loved one.I'm sure you will see him in Heaven
Thank you, I appreciate that. But sadly, not everyone realizes this. I understand their pain, I have been there myself. BUT it will only hurt more if you do so. And lets say I did take a life--what would it solve? It won't erase what happened. Now I know not everyone BELIEVES in Heaven, so thats probably why they choose such a vengeful rout.
If someone took my spouse and children - as in kidnapped or killed - I would rely on the law and God for justice.
If someone took them - as in took their affection from me - I would try to mend my own life, and hope to re-establish some kind of relationship with the children.
Honestly, I would "never" kill or harm anyone just because they did that to me. I would be depressed yes but never would I follow the devil and do his dirty work.
