I feel the same way.
As a parent, our love đź’ž is very unconditional.

However if my son was Christopher Lee Watts & confessed to murdering his children (+ thus my Grandchildren!) I would never speak to him again.


I think you need to relearn the definition of unconditional because it sounds like your definition is conditional.

What if your kid was the Columbine or Sandy Hook or Stoneman Douglas shooter? You'd still talk/love to him as long as the murder didn't involve your own grandchildren?


The biggest challenge in life is to give grace to those we think don’t deserve it.


Good lord. what an idiot.


You should read “just mercy” you need a spiritual uplift.


I don't need anything. Not from you anyway.

I wouldn't talk to the police nor would I allow my child to talk to the police. I would call an attorney.

So you think murder is fine as long as the victims aren’t on your extremely short list. Got it.


Are you so dim that you can't see the huge space between "I'm fine with that" and "actively assist the police in arresting and convicting my child?"

I'd say I didn't hear him correctly and hire a lawyer.

And since I’m a lawyer, if my kids confessed a crime to me, it would very likely be inadmissible due to attorney-client privilege.


This is the type of nonsense post that @Popehat loves to demolish. Wish he were on DCUM.

You hire a lawyer who knows the best way to handle the whole situation, which may or may not be turning oneself in, but probably is.

+1 Hint: Unconditional love means you love him no matter what he does, not that his behavior is free from consequence.

Not unless they hired you. When I ask my BFF’s DH for legal advice, he has me give him $1 and then he buys me a coffee.

So you are cool with your son murdering his girlfriend? Hope you would go to jail too if helping a criminal.

I'm guessing if your kid was murdered you would feel differently?

Typical hypocrite


I’m a lawyer. Pretty sure I could dodge an accessory charge.

And of course I would feel differently if it were my kid. Are you a moron?


No I am not a moron but you are. But maybe I am for answering you! I was trying to get the pp to think of OTHER PEOPLE! PP lawyer you suck and I hope bad things happen to you and everyone you love.

Yeah, but more likely it won’t be that your kid admits to it. They will say they didn’t do it. Parents want to believe that so do. Then by the time the truth comes out, their brain has adjusted and then it’s about making sure they don’t get the death penalty etc etc.

It depends on who was killed. As Clay Allison said, "I never killed a man who didn't need killin'."

There’s an Apple TV show on this: Defending Jacob.

Depends on the circumstances, but if I thought he or she had good cause (e.g., killed an abusive partner in self defense), I would help. If I thought my kid was a bad actor, I would turn them in. Either way, I would retain counsel.
