see, i never get that. anyone in my family could burn my house down, take everything i own,

insult me, disrespect me, whatever. and i'd still forgive them and stand by them. i can't even

imagine what i would do for my own child if i ever had one. i guess anything and everything.

Depends on the crime.

Depending on the crime, I might do a lot more than just call the police...

Now that's just stupid. You could always discipline a child for doing that shit. Make them cut their internet off or tell them they ain't gonna eat that night, why even say "I'm calling the police"?

No. Not me. I haven't spoken to my father in 25 years and I have no intention of doing so. He was just at my niece's high school graduation, trying to get my attention and shit. I walked around like dude was invisible.

^^^^^Either situation is tough on a kid..

but any parent should remember to be a parent to that child because it is the responsibilty of the parent to make sure that kid does right by him/herself and others.

Then a parent would NOT have to make a tough decision about deciding to call the police in the first place. Parents should just parent and not focus on being friends to their kids. This of course all falls on the parent if the parent actually is a decent person also... kids repeat what they see parents doing and all. Can't expect a kid to do right if mom's selling dope or a booster.

Now a situation like lauralevequese's where the son gets caught up in a messed up situation through no fault of his own is a doozy. I would always support my child but never enable them to do harm or wrong.
