MyLot Cover IV Would You Turn In A Family Member?

I couldn’t do it. I’d have to talk with them and get them counseling or something else.

Absolutely. But that comes easy for me because I don't care what they would think of me nor if they ever talk to me again. Just because we're blood related that doesn't mean they get the privilege of me turning the blind eye. Thankfully though, I never had to do that. I would just make the call. Opening up a discussion with the rest of the family means you'll be getting 7 different opinions and 15 arguments for every 3 people you discuss it with lol. When there's really only one right thing to do.

I honestly don’t know what I would do and hope I never have to be in that position. I’m so sorry you had to go through that

Omg this is hard. I’d talk with them first, hear their side of the story

Hard question as each situation is different. All of my family are gone but I can't imagine. Glad I was not in this situation, as turning them in is not always the answer. Maybe a start for some. Again, it all depends on the situation for me. Sorry to hear you were in this situation.

I would make a call I don't care what they think about me as I'm doing the right thing, but the decision is yours to make.

I would only if a child was in danger.

Yes. I dont want them getting away and doing it again no more than I want anyone else to

This is a tough one but yes, I'd probably turn them in if the crime was serious, particularly if it involved hurting someone.

It would always depend on the crime but I would definitely talk with them first. At the end I think I wouldn't do it.

You see these situations often with family members who will actually help cover up a crime, even murder committed by a son, daughter, parent or relative. Being raised to know right from wrong I would report the incident family member or not. An example was Most recently during the summer with the Gabby Petito murder. I'm sure when Brian returned home alone, they had to know something was not right, yet were not forthcoming with help to the police/FBI on Brian's whereabouts.

Thankfully that is not a decision that I have had to make. If it was any of the crimes you listed as significant I like to think that I would do the right thing and turn them in.

I think you just did the right thing. I would probably do the same.

Definitely depends on what the crime was. Did they steal a cheap shirt or something? I'd yell at them for it, might even go in and pay for it for them just so the store wasn't out money (especially since I've worked retail), but only if they refused to go back and pay for it themselves. I probably wouldn't call cops or anything for that though. If they hurt someone in the process of committing the crime? I'd probably turn them in. I can say it also probably depends on the family member. Is it that snobby cousin who always acted like she was better than me growing up? I'd call security/cops/whatever on her in a HEARTBEAT. My very favorite sister though? I'd have a harder time with that. There'd be a lot of questions first on why she committed the crime, was there some underlying motive that I need to know about first? It would be highly unusual for her to do anything illegal so I would automatically assume something larger was going on.
