Varian only used these methods when there were literally NO other options left. He TRIED to get help without decption, but everyone turned on him because of a flase rumor, and Rapunzel and Cassandra, the only ones close to Varian who he considered friends, didn't help him either.

I'm not saying that what he did was right by any means, I'm just saying that by that point, he hardly had any options left. Do you really think, that Rapunzel (or anybody else) would have helped him with his dad if he hadn't done what he  did? We all saw in "The Alchemist Returns" that Rapunzel was only willing to steal the flower for Corona, but always hesitated when Quirin was brought up. She showed no care nor compassion for Varian or his dad, perhaps if she had agreed to help his dad and been more compassionate with their situation, he would have told her the truth and been wiling to work with her to get what they both wanted.

Same with him kidnapping the Queen. The only reason he did that was to get Rapunzel over to Old Corona, since she NEVER would have gone there on her own to help him otherwise. Heck, even AFTER Varian kidnapped the Queen and ambushed the royal family, they STILL didn't bother to help him until he threatened the Queen with the amber!

And as for the whole robot incident, the royal family somehow thought it was a GREAT idea to hug in front of a kid wholost his father and is upset over his latest failure to free him. Varian was devastated when he failed to break the amber, than he turs around and saw the royal family hugging?! How's that supposed to make him feel?

I'm not saying that what Varian did was right, I'm just saying that he SHOULDN'T have had to do any of it in the first place! Rapunzel, her family, and the citizens of Corona drove him to commit those crimes. They aren't exactly innocent either. Nobody is. All it would have taken was one act of kindness, one act of compassion, one act of human decency, to prevent the events from the season 1 finale from occuring.

Uh...children? I don't remember any children getting hurt. The only severe injuries I recall were the Captain and some of the guards. and I don't believe the Queen and Cassandra were severely injured by Varian's robot seeing as Cassandra was able to journey with Rapunzel into the wild. I don't recall any children being hurt though.
