If you knew of something illegal that someone in your own family was doing....???

Question

What would you do?? Would you turn them in? Or, would you feel too guilty and let it slide? If the thing were aganist the law; like criminal activity???

Answer 1

I'd put it to them that if they don't stop! then you'll stop them by reporting them! Adding, it's not because you don't care for them, It's because you do!!!!

Answer 2

As much as this problem is worrying you at the moment, let me assure you that they will eventually get caught if they are doing something illegal.
I know of a similar case whereby a family were doing some illegal things. It went on for many years, until they got caught.
When they did get caught, they were in serious trouble.

I would try not to get involved as hard as that may be but let them lie in the own bed they make.
Sooner or later, the law catches up with you.

If it is worrying you, maybe you could speak to a counseller and get more advice.
All the best : )

Answer 3

Depends....some laws are good some are not....like if they are spitting on the sidewalk or removing the tags off of pillows or drawing mustaches on dollar bills , I would tell them to knock it off , but If they were kidnapping children and forcing them to make porn movies or making fake medications and selling it to sick children or Killing people than maybe I would seek and retain a good lawyer and turn them in for sure .

Answer 4

I agree with most of these people, depends on what it is this someone is doing. You see, I beleive there are some things that are legal that should be illegal, and some things that are illegal should be legal, that is just how our system is, in my opinion. So it would really depend on what was going on, if someones life was in danger or wrost, and if I really though he or she should be reported.

Answer 5

That's a tough call. You run the risk of alienating yourself, but on the other hand by doing the right thing will help you keep a clear conscious. Have you talked to them about it?

Answer 6

i know that blood is supposed to be thinker than water and all that good stuff but hell yeah i would turn them in. think about it if they were caught by someone else and turned in, once the investigation began the family would be more than likely the first place they would start, put you and your family on the list to talk to.

i would most definitely turn them in.

Answer 7

Depends on what it was. If it was a sin then Id turn them in.
If it was just a law made up by man then I would turn a blind eye or a deaf ear or mute,

Answer 8

Family always stick together and I would never turn in someone from my own family in. If it's a sibling then you should tell your parents.

Answer 9

It really really depends on what this person done, and who exactly this person is. If it was my sister or my mother, that I'd consider shutting about it, no matter what it is, but if it was my cousin or something, then I would think more of telling about it.

So again - it depends.

Answer 10

i would first tell them that i know about what they are doing or participating in. and give them the option to stop or turn themselves in. although it is family i would eventually turn him or her in if the activity did not stop... if in the future something comes up and you get in trouble because you knew why- put yourself in that position?

Answer 11

i would never turn someone in my family in only if it was really really bad just let it slide good luck . xxxxxx x x x x x xx x x x x x x
