I've already faced that.. My son was high on drugs, and the only way to get him help, was to have him arrested. He is clean now, and has been married for 15 years now, with two boys.

I totally agree with you.

Post by: devideddi on August 12, 2009, 10:59:08 am: Depends on the circumstances. Normally I would say of course not to a question about lying. But our system does not work. The dishonest have ruined it for the honest so we have to play their game to survive.

Post by: sgluckadoo on August 12, 2009, 11:28:53 am: Depends on the crime they committed among other factors....

Post by: home_teachin on August 12, 2009, 06:13:50 pm: It would depend on the situation and what I thought was best for him. Isn't that what parents always do? If it's a drug problem then jail might help. But under most circumstances I'd probably lie, even if I somehow had to do the time for him.

I agree!! i normally don't lie and hate being lied to but yeah who doesn't anyhow lol i think it would totally depend on what they did if i believe they did it.. and so on.. most of all if i believe that not helping them by lying will help them more in the long run i would not lie no matter wat. I think that could be a lesson that would change their life for the best. But again it depends on many things.

You are a great parent...good job. There are too many enablers out there. If someone is allowed to keep effing up their life with no consequences, why would they stop? You did him a favor and possibly saved his life.

If my daughter was going to go to jail for something stupid, then ya I would lie for her. But if she truly did something wrong, or was hooked on drugs, then she would deserve the punishment.

Post by: vlsm23 on August 12, 2009, 08:07:18 pm: Agreed on the situation - if they killed someone or did something else majorly illegal than no I wouldn't lie. I would hate to see my child in jail, but if its safer than letting them free on the streets, then jail time is needed
