Re: What would you do?
What would you do if you found out your mother/father/good friend/child/partner (any close loved one) is involved in some sort of illegal practises?
Illegal practises could be anything, from money fraude to even involvement in a murder case?
In what way would this knowledge change your relationship with that person?
With Father, Mother, Siblings, child, wife or husband..there is different way to deal them. But what i would do in this case is..be pissed off..ask them..what made them take drugs, or do financial fraud etc. and make my decision accordingly. But on the otha hand if i find out my good friend has done all that and still continues to do that. Well that would be the last day i’ll be talking to em. But if he/she has done something in the past and regret it..then i might be able to forgive yo..
Re: What would you do?
Based on last sentence, I am quite sure I wont do anything. Cant imagine turning them in.
My opinion about them - how that would change? Depends on what they did. But most probably they would lose my respect.
Hope the day never comes.
Ameen to your last sentence.
mother/father:
i would show my disapproval but definitely not turn them in, but I may expect them to discontinue or turn themselves in
haan if it was murder or rape shudder I would turn them in
partner:
I would show my disapproval if he continues down that path then I would have to think about doing whatever is best for my childrenshudder I would turn them in
child:
with severe crimes you just cant remain silent
I think if you remain silence if it concerns a severe crime, eventually you will break down. Or live with extreme guilt forever.
Assuming its my mother/father/husband/future child/best friend, the ONLY time I would turn them in is if the crime involves child abuse. Otherwise, I would just make sure they (and I) have the number of a GOOD criminal defense lawyer on speed dial, and that they’re aware of their legal rights in the event of an arrest.
As for how my opinion would change…it depends on the specific crime and details of the crime. For example, in the event of a murder…it would depend on the circumstances. Did they murder just for joy? Was it an accident? Or did they do it out of revenge?
Yes the motives behind it play a huge role too. Because if the person did it out of revenge or for joy, he will (most likely) do it again.
Re: What would you do?
Of course I’ll be extremely pissed at them. How can they even think of doing anything illegal behind my back… while I am already so good at it they haven’t realized it since decades.
This is bad. And because its now a leaking info, i’ll have to kill people to leave no trace and help them out. Yeah yeah i know what u guys are thinking, they are just clueless bunch of brats aren’t they. Yes i Agree…
Really bad.
Bad yes.
If it was serious and harming/hurting another a person yes I’d take action.. the relationship woud not make a difference to me..
I couldn’t handle being responsible for someone suffering by turning a blind eye and letting it carry on..
:k: If you let it happen, then arent you an accomplice?

You would stop talking to your friend if you find out he takes/deals drugs, does fraud, would you do that right away, or after having talked to him?
Re: What would you do?
So we have now that taking any kind of action (which can vary from reporting to authorities to talking to the person, convincing him to stop, asking other family members’ help) depends on:
severity of the crime
if it is continuous or not
motives behind it
if others are being harmed/hurt/ life on a threat
relationship with the person
About the severe cases (rape, murder etc):
You are not going to do anything about it at all? taking action doesnt per se mean going to police.
And if you decide to stay silent in severe cases (rape). Won’t that affect your own mental state?

And how would they feel if the same thing happened to THEIR children or family members and ppl who knew kept quiet?
Are you not also enabling other people to be harmed if you choose to say nothing??
