> If that's what consequentionalists believe

The author's article essentially builds a strawman, calls that consequentialist logic, and proceeds to happily burn that strawman to sell an alternative horror. Also there's a Godwin point because why not.

You'll find no significant evidence of consequentialists advocating for family punishment ; even if the author's claim that it's effective was supported by more than his word.
