You have to remember that we're also talking about Mormons. Not that I'm going on a negative rant about Mormons, but they do have some opinions, beliefs, and takes that might deviate a little from the stereotypical American Christian conservative.
IE, there was a Mormon (ex-CIA) trying to run against Trump a few years ago because there were a fair number of Mormons who weren't entirely happy with how "mean" and "rude" Trump was conducting himself.

Edit: And looks like he got 21% of the state vote. Which is a rather significant number of votes for an independent in such a close race.
The FBI and CIA also have a history of recruiting a lot of Mormons, and if the father did indeed have some connections with that level of law enforcement... I dunno. There's a possible connection there.
Maybe but unlikely in my opinion. Even if they were anti-Trump or anti-MAGA lying is a sin and betraying a son has to be high on the ladder of sins.
Maybe I'm wrong about Mormons but who knows. I was disappointed in Angel studious.
Mormons literally rewrote and ignored their own doctrine to update it for Progressive Politics around racial relations in 1978. And have spent the decades since pretending to not even understand why it was that way to begin with.
Heck their entire religion is based on and believes that you can just receive divine inspiration at any time from God, and that becomes doctrine for either the entire church or you. It is 100% possible for the father to have been given a "vision" from God about it and that comes before all things.
Not that I actually think he is lying in this case, but Mormons aren't some rigid upstanding denomination in the way you might think.
I could see a Mormon justifying lying and more in such a scenario.
But I'll admit, a lot of anger, cold hearted-ness and/or ideology would probably have to be in the mix for him to outright frame his own son.
