What did PVDS mean when he said he "hopes his son stands up to the interogation". I found this a puzzling statement - accounting for misuse of English - I am trying to think what he could have meant to say (remember he is translating from Dutch in his head"...what could the Dutch be that he was thinking...? Anyone know Dutch - I know some German but cannot think of how this would be said in German. Bottom line, if taken literrally it sounds like he is saying I hope he doesn't confess.

Not only that, but I just saw an interesting exchange on MSNBC's Dan Abrams program. Dan 'went to town' with his questioning on an Aruban govt. representative. He point blank asked her if there was protections against giving damaging information about a father/son/mother, etc. She said that there was protections against having to testify or confess anything 'crime related' against a parent or child.

Dan then asked her if the suspects have to answer any and all questions or if they can refuse to answer. She said they can refuse to answer questions if they wish.

No wonder PvdS hopes Joran 'stands up to the interrogation'! Arrrrgh!

Exception to that is, if a parent/child sees the other doing something illegal, then they must testify to it.

Someone in the know about LE on Aruba said the cops can't force a parent to divulge anything a child has said to him in private, as long as it's one to one. If someone else is dragged into the scenario or knows, then the deal's off.
