What alternative would you have? If you help him even slightly, you go to jail.

I agree, but would consider donating the full 100k to the church of the minister who allegedly talked to the father.

Straight up cold blooded murder? Yeah have fun in prison son.

Got in a fist fight and somebody ended up dead? We are lawyering up.

Raising kids is so stressful because their actions directly reflect on me as a parent. If they screw up that badly, I have failed

Yes. It’s the right thing to do. End of story

If you respect the laws and your duty as a father you would.

For his own safety, I think I'd have to. I'd probably get him a good lawyer if for anything, to get him the best maximum security prison they could get him into. But yeah - I think most sane, rational people would do so.

Yes. I would. A man's integrity is THAT important. Conversely, he was going to be caught. Probably safest way to get him into custody.

Absolutely

I can love my son and not agree or think it’s right for what he did.

Killing, rape, or something terrible of the sort, I’m absolutely turning him in. That will be ok and i will never stand by and try and hide him for that

I would turn him in indirectly. My first call would be to a defense attorney who could then be there with my kid every step of the way.

They did the crime and need to do their time; but how, where, and for how long they do that time can still be somewhat negotiated.

1) Thankfully I don't have sons

2) Depends on the situation. If it was a situation like this, where an innocent person was killed for no reason, then yes. You can argue all you want about them being grown adults and making their own decisions, but as a parent, you help form their decision making process. If my kids did something like this, it means I have failed

I worked with a guy who did this. His son killed two random teenagers who had parked at a lover's lane spot. No reason, no motive. Just like the Zodiak killer. The cops had little evidence but the gun used in the shootings was an unusual make and caliber and less than 50 had been sold and registered in the state within a certain time frame so they decided to just go to each and every house where that one and talk to the owner. Every single person cooperated with the cops except my co-worker's son so they immediately marked him as a suspect. They told his Dad that they thought his son might be a serial killer. Dad secretly got son to confess and turned him and the gun in. Dad testified against him in court and it was a death penalty case.

Of course. My father would have done so and then disowned me, probably publicly disowned me.

My grandfather would have either turned me in or killed me. Seriously.

I'd have no problem doing it to my kid.

Yes. I wouldn’t have to because my kids were raised or are being raised not to break the law.
