I have been trying to help two young brothers,13 and 15 to do the right thing by the law,but they told me last night that they broke into the local swimming pool with three other guys and there was over $15,000 in damages, I know they were telling me the truth.
I know I should go to the Police with this information but I am scared of reporting it as they come from a very violent family and the family knows me and my family and I am frightened of what they might do to my family and me
How do I protect my family when I tell the police because I know I have to tell them by law?
How do I handle this?

Tell the police and also tell the police that you are in danger.

Contact the police and explain to them your delima without providing specifics. They can probably reassure you by explaining investigative techniques they can use without compromising your concerns. Most detectives are very experienced and have different ways of protecting informants. If you feel safe, provide specifics. Or if you don't like that suggestion, make an anonymous phone call.

you should tell the police. because that kind of behavior is just not acceptable. you don't have to tell the police though. the police would be more lenient if your brothers went and confessed the crime if you could convince them to do that it would be best but if not then it's up to you to do the right thing.

You should tell your parents and let them contact the police

use this information to control your two brothers. yeah, it means threatening them. threaten to tell the police on them if they don't shape up -- either do it your way or they go to prison. $15,000 in damages is a lot... tell them they'll go to jail for sure.

Do it anonymously and keep your mouth shut otherwise.
