what would it be your reaction? would you support him or just ignore him and never look at him as your own son.

I would hate what my child did, but after all he or she is your child, I would still love them no matter what and be there for them.

There is nothing my children could do to make me not love them.

It all depends on what he did for. If he was just using self defense then i would support him. If he just did it out of spite then I would teach him a lesson on life.

I told my children if they do something stupid like murder someone I'm telling. point blank so they better stay on the right side of the law

I would still love them but I would have to respect what the court decide's. If they are ordered to die, then so be it. It would hurt to see my child die, but if they commited such a horrible act, I believe an eye for an eye. I just hope my child never does this type of thing.

I would first of all try to get to the bottom of the matter. If he had really committed a Murder then I dont think so I would ever forgive him because he has no right to take away the life of any other Human being. That person was also someone's son, father or husband. But, if he is framed then I will stick by his side.

Well neither - cuase what he would have done would be wrong and he needs to be punished for what he did. but since he is my son i would never ignore him. rather i would encourage him to see forgivness from the family who's life he has distrupted and ask for forgiveness from God who is the final judge of all

I would be so heartbroken and have a hard time dealing with it However, I'd never disown my child your love for your child is unconditional and nothing can ever change that.

Apart from being devastated I'd support them thru everything. Firstly I'd make them go to the police and own up to it if they hadn't already done so.

My kids are being up with the you do the crime you do the time rule. I would support them in jail and get the help they needed. It would of course freak me out at first.

If it was self-defense I would fully support my child. (I have heard of women being raped and killing the guy who raped them, just to end up in jail themselves-- not fair). But if my child just murdered someone for the fun, i couldn' support them. I would have to love my child reguardless, but I don't have to agree or support them.

A son is always a son for me, so I´ll surely disagree, killing it´s not the answer. But everybody makes mistakes in life, some only one a and a very big one, so. I´ll be like always beside my son.

Even through murder, I would still be there for my kids. I would stand behind them. After all, it's them that would have to deal with the consequences. They made that choice, not me. And I would support them the whole way.
