| was just arrested from stealing about $15K from her government job, what would you do? Reach out? |

No.
Depending on age, I would reach out to cousin’s parents or spouse. |

She's 55. Divorced and parents are dead. |

| Yeah, I'd reach out. She obviously needs a friend. |

She will probably be going to prison. I would reach out to her and if/when she does go to prison, visit her.
I have an acquaintance that went to prison for a similar crime (this was years before I met him.) One thing that was very hard on him was getting out of prison and having to start from scratch. A lot of his former friends and family didn't want anything to do with him. He didn't even have enough warm clothing (it was winter.) |

| I would chuckle, and definitely not reach out. How dreadful. |

| I would either say nothing or tell her get a good lawyer. |

you're one cold person. chuckle? "how dreadful"? you have no idea of the details of what went on - sure hope you never need a friend's shoulder to lean on. |

| I’m not close to my cousins. It would feel like seeking out drama if I made a move like that. If it were someone I had a close relationship with, like my sister or a friend, I’d reach out. I’m close with one of my aunts, so if the cousin were her daughter, I’d reach out to that aunt. |

If I was already close to her, yeah to reaching out. Not going to lie, I'll think of her differently b/c of her lack of morals.
But if I was never close to her, no way would I reach out now. |

| I would not reach out. I would also not allow the cousin in my home. |

| The cousins I have would definitely do this. We haven’t spoken in decades. |

| Only if the cousin was a good friend, otherwise no. |
