Would you disown your child if they committed a serious crime?

I think these kinds of hypotheticals often separate people who have experienced (and therefore can more easily imagine) real trauma from those who have not.

I cannot imagine disowning my children, but I also really can’t imagine them turning out to be evil, either. I get that there’s the potential for a blind spot there.

It's easy to give an opinion until it's your child. Having first had experience, no you don't disown them. You acknowledge what's happened, make sure the consequence is enforced, and love them through rehabilitation and repentance.

No

My cousin granted had a very hard upbringing. My mother’s brother and wife sucked as parents .
He went to jail for 15 years in Florida. There is no rehabilitation or repentance for a serious crime

Also, I would disown a child who worked worked for the Trump administration and would divorce DH of he worked for this evil man.

It’s sad that your children will never know unconditional love and acceptance. I despise trump. Thankfully, my children do as well. I would not disown them if they supported him.

Question: is there a point at which "unconditional love and acceptance" of a child becomes a crime against someone else?

Is it ethical NOT to disown someone who: raped babies, raped a sibling, murdered someone else's child, committed an act of mass terrorism, etc.?

Does NOT disowning someone who raped babies say something (bad) about your own code of ethics/worth as a human being? I think it does.

No. It’s unethical to completely abandon human beings. Even death row has someone cook a last meal for them and that doesn’t reflect on the character of the chef.

That’s strange to me. I feel more empathy knowing that a person was likely abused/traumatized.

In every religion there is forgiveness and second chances. You set yourself above them all. Interesting.
