How can anyone know how they would handle this?

This was my thought, as well. I don't think that most people would have any idea how they would handle such a thing.

I don't know what I would do, honestly. I just hope I wouldn't go on TV like one of the moms I saw recently and insist my son wasn't a monster and that he was a good person. I'm sure she was suffering and in pain, but yes, he is a monster and no not a good person.

@happycat, I saw that too - the mother of the realtor who had chained that poor young woman up for months after he murdered her boyfriend in front of her. Turned out he had murdered others as well. I couldn't believe she did the interview, and then tried to defend him. Turns out he had also r@ped a young girl when he was a teen. Yes, why yes, he's the very definition of things that go bump in the night and is a true monster.

i think i might and might is the operative word talk to him/her and if they showed remorse and were sorry that may sway me, if they would not admit their guilt that would probably convince me to let them go.

If my child was truly guilty -- and there is a difference sometimes between being guilty & convicted, I would have to disavow & move on. If there is any chance my child is not guilty, I would have to support that child in any way I could.

For crimes less than murder, I would try to support my child. I too am disgusted by family members when presented with all the evidence still defend the guilty,

Speaking about motherhood.......
What would you do, if you found out your adult child was a serial killer?
Would you visit them in prison, write to them, etc.?

Or would you try to forget them and move on with your life, as best you can......

If this is total imagination, I can't say how I'd react.

But knowing my child, there is no way on this earth I'd ever disown her, regardless of what she did.

She's my child and my heart

I would still love my child but I would be shattered.I would want them to pay the full price for their crime.I would still love the child I believed they were and not the person they became.I will stand by my child till my death but I would want them to pay all penance for their crimes.i don't know how I would live my life after something like that but I am sure it would be in sadness.

I think if I found myself in this situation, I would truly find it hard to totally abandon my child...yes, I would visit them and try to understand from them how this happened.

I would think that there has to be some type of mental disorder for someone to be a serial killer...I'm not saying that to make an excuse for them...and I do think they should have to face the maximum penalty for the crimes committed.

I believe that the parents who defend their children who are guilty of such crimes do so because they are in complete denial. They don't want to believe that their child who they gave birth to, raised and loved could be guilty of such horrific crimes. I do remember how Scott Peterson's mother always defended him and thought it so odd but figured she was probably in denial and just didn't want to believe he could be capable of such a terrible crime.
