Lol, That goes double for me!

[T-Bone Texan]

If a loved one openly bragged about his criminal activity, that means that I have failed as a parent or uncle.

And I don’t want to fail.

And the above failure is years in the making, not a spontaneous spark of “Hey, Ima gonna break into 200 cars”.

So yes, I’d turn them in, because it would mean they ignored my guidance, and are thus dead to me.

Yep, sometimes it calls for tough love.

“... I turned 21 in prison doing life without parole.”

We had one of those. Turned out to be a barracks thief.
A soap in sock party cleaned up his act real quick.
