If you had a child whom you know was a murderer, could you give her an overdose of sleeping pills so that she could never be taken away from you?

No+6I would have to turn her in. If I did what you suggested, that would make me a murderer too.





















I am not sure what you could do with a Rhoda Penmark.
She was literally criminally insane without a doubt.
The psychobabble people who run the mental hospitals and prisions would certainly "rehabilitate" her and set her lose on society again that is for sure.
Perhaps give her to Dexter, or Hannibal Lecter to raise, and at least then she would kill some of the right people, as opposed to neighbors.
But if you're talking about "The Bad Seed" kind of child, I could see sleeping pills so s/he couldn't continue. And a trial might not work.
If I had a kid who did something wrong like that I would encourage them to turn themselves in. Everyone has to admit their wrong and accept the punishment for what they've done.
I've had children in trouble with the law from time to time... and I've stood by them and supported them in court, but would not defend their actions and told them straight up that, while I love them unconditionally and completely, and because I love them unconditionally and completely, they will take whatever is coming to them...
