If you knew for certain that your child committed a crime would you lie for them?

I think that Casey Anthony's mom knew that her daughter killed her grandchild and lied for her so she wouldn't go to jail. If your child committed a crime like a murder or rape but the evidence was circumstantial would you lie for your child so they wouldn't get in trouble?

[Madmommy1]

For murder or rape, I would hope not.Anything thing I would probably lie. Just being honest.

If my kid stole from the grocery store, I’d cover for them.

If my kid killed another human I’d be the one calling the police.

[Smarties]

No.

Crazy to me how such a group of generally morally superior people such as we have in this group would lie in court.

Don't you think that starting out small would lead to bigger thi ngs, I mean hey the kid figures, I got away with stealing something like a cansy bar, and I didn't get into trouble, let's see what lese I can get away with and mom won't do anyhting?

[famousglm714]

I really can't say. I'd like to think I wouldn't.

I think the kid drowned and then the mom helped cover it up because she didn’t want Casey to go to jail.

If my kid committed a crime I could not lie for them. I’d help them as best as I could but I would not lie.

No. I’ve shoplifted as a teen and didn’t get in trouble. Most of my friends did. Didn’t send us down the path of armed robbery and murder. We’re all adults with jobs now. We even pay for our music.

I called the police on my son when he broke the law and he has been in jail for the last year. I dont regret my decision but I do miss my son

[Poietes]

No, I’d probably be the one to turn them in.
