I honestly don't think I would either, Todd. I kind of think I would feel like they weren't the person I thought they were.

Absolutely I would. I have no doubt. Short of perhaps killing another member of this family I can not imagine any senario where I wouldn't. I may hate them and their actions, but love of a child just doesn't turn off.
If they were a "Dexter" type serial killer who only killed killers and hey I'd add repeat child molesters to the list too, I'd shake their hand.
I am sure I will get lots of slack for this, but the world needs some people removed from it to make it a better, safer place.

I would feel sad. I would be heart broken because I know I raised them better than that. I would be angry at their choices to be so violent and hateful. And yes I would support them having to take full legal responsibility for their actions. But at the same time I am commanded to forgive and to love (by God). Forgiveness and love are choices, not feelings. It may take time to forgive my child for such unspeakable acts, but I will always always always love them. They are still my child, even if I don't recognize the person they have become. If God can and will love me and forgive me for all my screw ups (God sees all sin the same, there is no bad, worse or worst when it comes to sin) then I can and will do the same for anyone else, especially my child. I've never killed, raped, etc., but I've certainly messed up my fair share and I know my sin is just as bad as in the eyes of God. That's why I can't say I'm any better than them and that's why I can't say I would never forgive anyone for their wrongs.

Never having been in such a terrible situation, I can't say. I think I would love what I wished he could have been. It would really depend on the child.

Well when you consider that the uniabomber was turned in by his own family, I would still say yes, eventhough he needs some help.
All of the money that the family gets because he had a huge reward on his head is being used to help his appeals to get him out of jail... if that ain't love I don't know what love is.

I'd still love my child. But the love for my little girl would not get in the way of me letting the judicial system deal with her as it sees fit.
I hope I raised her well enough so that she wouldn't BE a serial killer, but she'd haveta face the consequences if she were to be one and get caught.

Yes - although I would much rather he be a cereal killer, if he was a serial killer I would still love him... although I'm sure it would be so painful inside me and I would have such ambivalence and torment inside.

Of course. The love between a parent and child is the only unconditional love there is.

Good question ... I have to say probably no. Because in reality people like that don't feel love towards anyone or anything so by me not loving them I don't think it would much matter since my child wouldn't love me ... I don't see any use in having feelings towards something that is ... I guess like that.

i don't have kids yet, but i would probably still love them, just not like what they had become. i would definitely want to know why. have you seen that show "dexter" on showtime? it's about a serial killer who was raised by a cop who knew what he was and raised him to kill the bad guys.
