To tie 2 a 3 together, perhaps the father would react not to help his son but to avoid the embarassment/social impact of having a werewolf as a son... denounce him? Lead the village in a hunt and force the son to run away? Or just hide him away and make him hate himself for a long period of time?
Or (forgive me for only having seen the Disney cartoon version of Beauty and the Beast), since in the cartoon version the Witch is punishing the Beast for being selfish, perhaps it is the father's action that leads to the son being cursed (sorry if this rings of the Bible and cursing further generations and all that, but I thought it was interesting)? Like either the witch purposely curses the son (or the son and the father) as the father's punishment, or the father somehow sets into motion actions that make the witch blame the son for something, intentionally or not?
