criminal negligence ?

   My eldest son passed away in August of 1999 during a fire which destroyed the (then) family home. My kid's father had in the week previous to the fire, gone and removed all the door handles from the internal sides of the doors, so that my son and his brother could not enter our side of the house and "interrupt" his carnal needs ( to be polite about it ). It is something that has eaten at me for a long time now, and due to an emotional and mental breakdown in recent months, it was advised to me that I should possibly seek lawful retribution for the actions of their father, and that as a result my children could not escape the house when needed,(what I believe is a major contribution to my son's death) but I'm not to sure how or what is the best way to approach this, as it is still a very tender subject and although my son passed on a while ago, the memories are still very much at the front of my mind.
