Would you turn in a member of your family to the police if you knew they were guilty?

Yeah, I did.  We have the Cops video we watch at family reunions.  Uncle Dad is still pissed about it.

with out the year,day,etc..how was it ruled ? with out that info it's hard to tell. if it was closed it would be archived at the police station. if its not closed or still open or sent to a cold case team. you wont find out a thing.with it being your cousin you don't have much rights to any info only his mother,father, wife or kids would. just ask your aunt or uncle about the info to this case or have them check up it if it's a cold case.

Get a lawyer,free the family, and turn yourself in.Give any weapons that you may have to your lawyer first and let her/him handle the media.

It depends on what the abuser did.  If I saw a child get a spanking when they were acting out, I would probably frown upon it but that's almost overstepping boundaries if it was a simple spat on the butt.  Yet if I saw a parent just physically abuse their kid, I would definitely call the cops, testify and do everything I could to help that child.  I have seen what child abuse can do to a kids mind and how it affects them even when they are adults, so hell yeah I would do something.  If not walk up to them and tell them to take their hands off the child and inform them that the cops are on the way and prevent them from leaving.

Sure, you could file a civil suit.  If they've been convicted of the crime, you stand a better chance of winning the civil suit.

i hope someone from authorities might read your question

I wouldn't.  If they were involved in criminal activity, I would just call the cops.  If not, I really don't care.

If he has suspicions, then he really needs to get the police involved. Even if they won't investigate right away, it will at least get them considering the possibility. If anything does happen to his grandmother, they would have cause to investigate.

Report the person to the police.  Let them refer it.

No, I have some family members that are just the lowest forms of live ever. They have stolen from other family members and lied so much none of us believe a word they say, in fact they are not even invited to any events at all.\nBeing family has no bearing on how they treated others and you can't excuse someone just because they are related.

When you suspect somebody is abusing a vulnerable child/adult and you know the suspected abuser you are NOT SNITCHING.  You are protecting the vulnerable person.  If your cousin is under age eighteen you can call Childrens protective services in your county and tell the caseworker what you suspect.\n\nIf you are sure your aunt is abusing your cousin, then you are doing your cousin a favor.\n\nLook at it this way, abuse tends to get worse as it drags on.  Ask any woman who escaped domestic violence.  Ask the family of someone who didn't escape and ended up dead.\n\nWhat if your cousin ends up dead, or in a coma at the hands of your aunt.....and YOU HAD THE POWER to do something and didn't?  How would you feel?  How do you feel when you see your cousin come to visit all burised?\n\nSometimes the bonds of family MUST BE BROKEN.  Your aunt is hurting a vulnerable developmentally disabled cousin. You have the power to see that abuse end.\n\nCall CPS or an agency that helps developmentaly disabled people.  That is the only honorable thing to do.  If you love him, you will.

yes, they can. if they are in a different state the court may make you go to them. second ,,, evidence will be harder now for a person to prove. this is going to be a tough case and can go either way. if they seeked councel it may help their side (previously in the 12 yrs) also how old they are now may take a factor. if you are the victim don't worry the truth always comes out... there may be others just waiting for someone to stand up aswell. if you are the suspect... evidence lacking after 12 years is on your side
