What would your own son have to do for you to grass him up?

when i was about six, i stole/borrowed a family friends credit card from his wallet and took it to school to flash about.

The teacher called my parents, and when my dad came and collected me he threatened to take me to the police station, much like Agnes:
Anything as petty as theft of a schoolmates pencil case.

Teach em young :)

Seriously though, anything, no tolerance towards crime. And to be honest. Most of the time the police won't do anything if it's not serious and just take details. Will put fear in the kid though!

Did me when I was a kid and stole some milk from a house across the road!

Never felt so scared! Dad dragged me down saying they would lock me up for at least 10 years! Learnt my lesson and cut the houses grass after I was forced to apologise to the house owners lol.

Was about 8 years old, police man took me around and showed me the cells and I distinctly remember him saying as he opened a empty cell door "We only feed you if you have been good"

Never did anything even remotely illegal like that ever again.
In the unlikely event that i have children, they'll be taught in the same way and i would like to hope that they never commit any serious crimes either.
 
Nothing. Besides the fact that my Son was raised correctly in the first place, loyalty to family is paramount, especially to me who has never really had one.

He is my flesh and blood. I would deal with it myself.

You surprise me. I'd not have had you down as one to take the law into your own hands.

I don't know and I suspect I wouldnt know unless I was in that position.

Amusing to see those saying 'Wouldnt ever grass'.

So if your son rapes and murders a girl you 'wouldnt grass'?

I dont have any children, but -

Rape? Certainly.

Murder? Situational, but most likely.

Paedophile related crimes? Certainly.

Petty crimes? Probably not.
 
Oops! Misread the thread title!

I wouldn't grass on my own tbh. Grew up with a massive extended family of Italians. They're not keen on that kind of behaviour, though if they did find any of us breaking the law as kids we were in for some serious Victorian-style discipline!

Me too... my dad is italian, I got beats just for taking something off my sister... never mind stealing from someone...

Stelly
 
So lets say he took some nudy pictures or made a sex tape with his 17 year old gf, you'd have him charged with production of child pornography?

Well, no, probably not.

I obviously meant actual direct crimes against children, not things like that.

+1 Pretty much my own thoughts as well...i wouldnt hesitate to 'grass' my kid up should he have committed a crime...no matter how small it may be....small crimes always turn into big crimes later on so id rather nip it in the bud and teach him/her a valuable lesson.
 
A friend of mine was a 'serial' thief when she was younger. They threatened her with police many times but she didn't stop (and obviously they couldn't do much to a 10 year old). But then she stole something from me and she just had a new step-father in her life. So he took her over to my place and she had to stand in front of my whole family that was there visiting and say what she had done and apologise. Stopped stealing after that.

And:

Paedophile related crimes? Certainly.

Petty crimes? Probably not.

No, because nobody would charge him with production of child pornography for that.

you'd be surprised! :eek:

<edit>
All the precedent-setting cases i can find are in America - I'm not sure about here in the UK but i wouldn't be surprised.
