Does taking part in the senior class prank, count?  

Because I didn't turn my son in!  

But they did something harmless.  My kids are older now, and have never done anything to hurt anyone.  If they had...yes I would have turned them in...to stop them from doing it again.

Yes justice would be served swiftly, because even though I lost a child, had my child lived I know I would have raised my child to display a deep respect for the following:

God's Holy Commandments

All God's Holy Ordinances

Honor thy Mother & Father

Appreciate and respect their Parents sacrifices, teachings, and way of life

Respect your good name

Observe all Laws everywhere

Know right from wrong

Respect Thy Neighbor

Respect all people everywhere

Respect all property of others everywhere.

Always walk the straight path, and do not cause harm to

anyone, or anything

Remember for each action there are equal and opposite reactions, which also bring many dire consequences

Remember you will be judged on Judgement Day, for all your earthly actions 

"Even though my heart would break with despair, if I knew my child was guilty of any crime, I would ensure my child was brought to justice very swiftly".

All we can do is pray our teachings and years of sacrifice do not fall on deaf ears, and children everywhere know right from wrong, and choose the correct path as they journey through their earthly life.

If my son harmed someone yes I would turn him in if he stole something I would make him take it back but to the dressing room and walk out...........he would have taken it back and it would have to make him nervous taking it back.  But NO not unless it was something really bad. I had a friend who's son was 18 dating a girl almost 16 and the mother of the girl new it.......they were at his mom's home and she caught them having sex so she called the girls mother and he went to prison and will always be a sex offender and when he got out he and the girl got together again of course she was legal age..........I could not do that to my son.  Never for that if the girl and him were dating and the girl wanted it also.

YES.

If you want your kid to ever get straight, how could you not?

A friend's kid stole from him and did credit card fraud. He got the judicial system involved and had the child appear before a judge and they worked out a reparation etc. Then the MOTHER said to this child "Oh, your dad is just mean you don't have to do any of that." The judge dressed her down in court but the damage was done. 

The child of course listened to Mom and didn't do any of the requirements, then got thrown out of school for drinking and other stuff during school hours, and gave up a great education at one of the better choice schools in the city. Because MOM said he was a good boy and couldn't have done any of that stuff even though he was caught red handed.

As so he is lost. Because MOM wanted to be the more-loved parent. Sad.

Yes, I would and I'm sure my kids knew that!

[Cats3000]

Yes, I'd turn my child in.  No, I don't think doing that would make me an accessory to the crime.  But that'd be my lawyer's task.

[chiclet]

I think I could especially if it would protect others from him or protect him from himself.

[Chrystaltree2]

That is a hard one.  It definitely depends on the crime; what, why, the victim.  I'll be honest, it would have to be something pretty big, awful or horrendous for me to turn my child in.
