You mean a serious crime like downloading a movie or song?

Only if they were also a Pothead. That would show they had no hope of maturing.

No, and I'd break the law to keep them free.

I extend that to my closest family, my brother for instance and I know he would do the same for me.

I'm pretty sure my dad and mom won't commit any heinous acts this late in life.

If by "serious crime" you mean rape or murder I'd kill him myself, not that any of my potential children would do anything like that.

It would depend entirely upon what the crime was, and whether or not I'd end up like Maurice Clemmons' family.

He ambushed and killed 4 police officers. His family helped him hide for a few days.

I rather think they're regretting that about now.

Well yeah I agree with walker, if my "child" is some 32 year old child rapist/murderer, yeah that asshole is going to prison. I would first certainly try to reason with him first through the use a vicious ass kickings

Depends on the situation I suppose.

For most situations I'd stay out of it all together, and feign ignorance of the whole thing. I wouldn't help them, and I wouldn't hurt them. They'd be on their own.

If that isn't an option then it would come down to what they did, their likelihood to do it again and the likelihood that me or other people in my family might suffer negative consequences as a result of their actions.

Yep. Any family that covers for a remorseless murderer or spree rapist, for example, needs to be mass executed. Utterly disgusting scum. No different than squashing cockroaches.

So, if you came across say, car radios, tools, GPS, in your child's possession, and I am talking 10+ of each, you would do nothing and wait for the cops to knock on your door and find the stuff in your home or garage?

I know something this happened to, they found the stuff and believed the kid when he said, someone gave it all to me. Of course the paper had been running articles of car break ins in the area.

doh!

I'd tell him to keep it somewhere else, and if anyone ever asks I never knew. But, I wouldn't turn him in.

I'd only turn them in if they had done something to me or were putting something I care about in danger. Even then I'd go to their parents before hand and ask them how they want to do it.

So if you saw your neighbor's kid rape and murder your other neighbor's kid you'd go ask their parents what to do about it?

Of course they'd say "OOOH MAH POOR TIMMY, HE'S JUST MISUNDERSTOOD, HE'S REALLY A GENIUS AND THE MOST BEAAUTIFUL PERFECT ANGEELLLLL DURPDURP!!"

So you should save yourself the trip and the trouble and just bake him a fucking cake with one candle for each little girl he raped.
