What if this happens to you?

Well i will make him confess to the authority, as accepting crime is really forgiving. So i would encourage him to accept rather to hide and hiding is the biggest sin rather.

depends on what the crime is and what the punishment for that crime is? if he stole something from a store, I would make him bring it back. if he murdered someone I would report him to the authorities.

it would depend on the crime...If its something petty then I doubt I would but if it was something major like murder or whatever then of course I would turn him in!

Hi Careguarden, I think a lot for me would depend on the crime itself and how old my son was. I know that when I caught my girls stealing when they were teens that I walked them right back to the store and had them confess what they had done. They had to work for no pay for so many hours. I can't imagine a crime that would not in some way hurt someone else or their property.

I would report only if someone else gets punished. I would reprimand him and take a promise from him that he will not repeat it. If there are losses to the victim then somehow I will see that the victim is compensated without exposing my son.
