re: Would you turn your child in to law enforcement if he or she committed a major crime?

Think it kind of depends. Kid's being stupid i.e. DUI, hit and run, etc, you make sure they have a lawyer before you arrange for him to go back and turn himself in. They still need to learn their lesson and pay the piper but I will also be there to help them get through it. Intentionally criminal acts i.e. robbery, theft, assualt, yep, calling the little fricker in. You want to be a bad person, good luck.
