Would you rat out your kids?

Maybe you wouldn't lie or concoct a story like this couple did, but would you plead the fifth if your child committed a crime or would you tell all? Would it depend on their age? Curious...

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2011/...html?tag=stack

"A Lake Charles couple will spend years behind bars for lying to police about their teenage son's involvement in a drive-by shooting that killed a 14-year-old girl in 2009.

On Monday, Judge Clayton Davis sentenced Nina Lambert Newton, 44, to 10 years in prison for obstructing justice and being an accessory after the fact to first-degree murder of Alexus Rankins, The American Press reported.

...Prosecutor Cynthia Killingsworth said both parents conspired to make up a story and lied to police...."

Re: Would you rat out your kids?

I think that I would encourage them to turn themselves in, or if they were going to run, to not tell me where they were, so that I could honestly tell the police that I did not know. Pretty sure that if I knew they were guilty, I would not try to hide them.

Re: Would you rat out your kids?

I would rat them out and then get them a good lawyer.

You have to rat them out or they will not learn.

That being said, if you don't get them a lawyer, after letting them spend the night in jail, their lives could be destroyed by the system.

I don't know for sure, but i suspect people come out of prison worse then when they go in.

I think tough love should be at work here. I don't think you are doing your kids any favors covering up for them if they do something like that.

No way, no how. Blood is thicker than water. They are flesh of my flesh, bone of my bone. They are my everything. I would do whatever it takes to help them. I would sacrifice my all for them. Sound familiar?

I would and have ratted them out by making them turn themselves in. (shoplifting)

Re: Would you rat out your kids?

I would not be a good leader IF I hid or covered my Children's wrong...Eli...tried that...However it takes a person with a backbone and strong convviction to tell your kids they are wrong and not cover up for them. Not easy but if you want to really help them then you too must be honest with them....

Would you take their punishment for them?

Not sure I'd go that far. But, I'd hire a really good "advocate".
