In principle yes, but take each case on its merits. If you had an autistic son (as Cummins does) then you might take a different approach. Having got children with some mental health issues and one who is borderline autistic, I am more lenient on them in terms of isolating than if they were 'normal'.
The last thing we need now is dead children; either killed by parents who can't cope or by their own hand. That is what he might have been facing and I did almost face in April and July last year with one son. So cut Cummins some slack.
