I don't have kids so I wouldn't understand but he barely grasped what Horus trully was at that point. Even seeing his dead son Sanguinous he still didnt wnt to end the life of another of his sons. Horus was probably one of the few beings in the universe he geuinely cared about. I bet he was looking for any sign, any indication at all that Horus could be made to repent and be forgiven. Obviously Horus had been morphed to something beyond redemption and things turn out the way they did. The Emperors mistake was that he took way too long to make his desicion.
