It does seem like he sees Lee unfit as a father figure and that he and his group would do a better job.

Yes, she pretty much would be guaranteed dead. But that's not what Vernon thinks though. He thinks since he had a daughter before, that he would be able to handle any problem him and Clemtine come into contact with, would be able to support her and so on. I believe he had the right intentions, but didn't see the bad side of things. I still think Lee is a better father figure.
