Tal, normally I'd agree, but based on what the OP wrote, I think there's much more to this story than what he's telling us. The fact that his wife tries to kill herself, that's not good. Is it his fault? Might not be, but than why did the police get involved.
That aside, the fact that he asked if he should stay, beat his wife for retribution, and live with her, tells me that he's not the best one to take this child.
At this point neither parent seems to be fit. That's why the only one I'm concerned about is this poor innocent 3 year old that got the short straw where parents are concerned.
