That doesn't mean you failed as a father. We all have a conscience that is the decider of what is evil and what is good. A father cannot control that.

If you’re a sane human being, the only answer is yes.
1) He’s probably going to get caught anyway.
2) If you harbor him or knowingly let him go, you may face consequences too.
2) It’s bad enough on your conscience that your son did something like this, but if you let him go and he targets someone else or perhaps kills a LEO in a shootout, that blood is on your hands.

Yes I would because he would be messed up the rest of his life anyway and probably would kill again. How can a parent live the rest of their life knowing your child killed an innocent person and did nothing about it.

I’m going to go with about a 100% chance that this kid had previous/ongoing mental illness issues. If you have ever had to deal with that as a parent, family member, friend, etc. it is exhausting to the point that you feel relief/safety for the individual by turning them in for a crime or committing them to some kind of facility.
If the above is true with this kid, it probably wasn’t as hard of a decision as people with normal (relative) kids, family, friends think it would be.

Yes, and I’ve already explained that fact to her even at 11 years old.
I said it wouldn’t change the fact that I love her, but I would never condone thievery or harm to others out of her.

Discussed this with my wife this morning- if one of our kids murdered someone in cold blood, yes, we would both report them.
Exceptions? Yes, if it was in response to someone killing a close family member,..

Last week yes. Now depends.

My kids have been told their entire lives. I love you more than you will ever know, but your actions have consequences and if you screw up, I'll forgive you but you will have to deal with those consequences.

If I’m being honest, I’d like to think I would.
But not sure if I could. It would certainly crush me.
His father was law enforcement. He knows better than most this ended in suicide, suicide by cop, or death penalty.
He will never be the same. I pray the family finds peace.

for a n act this evil? In a heartbeat!
Posted on 9/12/25 at 3:21 pm to Allthatfades
It just goes to show how social media, perhaps college liberal teachers, can radicalize someone into committing murder.

I think easy to turn him in for something of this scope, and then terrible to grapple with the aftermath of how it got there.
Shooting a man in the neck wouldn’t have an ounce of second thought or pause or…. as far as the decision to turn him in though.

My guess is the 4.0 gpa full ride kid who dropped out after one semester has been a really challenging take of two trajectories for the family to deal with - but with just 4 years of the new journey, there is a good chance they had not bottomed out like that yet

Yes, shooter had two brothers right? What kind of example does that say to your brothers? Plus it makes him look better in the eyes of the public, regarding being hated for the rest of his life.
Posted on 9/12/25 at 3:31 pm to Allthatfades
Would be terribly hard to do that. Hopefully i will never have to make that decision. Any reward money from this should go to Charlies widow and children.
Posted on 9/12/25 at 3:32 pm to Allthatfades
Yes. Yes I would take the reward money too, my child will have lawyers that need to be paid.
No I would not expect him to get away with the crime, but just maybe if he can provide enough evidence on others (and from the discord info others knew and possibly aided him) he can get a prison sentence he can maybe survive.

He was probably just trying to keep him alive
