Safe_Guy Posted March 17, 2007 Asalamu alaykum, I have a relative who im afraid that their crimes might get them in trouble with the law. Should I expose him to his parents whom he respects or just advice him though he won't revert from his criminal ways.Please share your minds brothers and sisters. J'zakallah.

By exposing him to his parents, what do you think their reaction would be? Also, what do you think his reaction would be if he learns his parents know about his criminal ways?

Safe_Guy Posted March 18, 2007 I know it sounds harsh bro but he is a young guy bro.. if i leave him be, he might get himself in serious trouble. By telling his parents, it might have them worried or angry but it'll wear off.He'll feel betrayed but if I let him go about his ways i'll feel like a true betrayer. j'zakallah qeyr Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hodman Posted March 19, 2007 ^^ Maybe you could find a relative he trusts and respects who might talk some sense into him? If no other options remain then it's better for him to face his parents' anger than ruin his life by being in trouble with the law. You should also talk to him... really talk to him and not criticize, maybe that will help Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Safe_Guy Posted March 19, 2007 You have a good point sis, thanks. I know criticism can sometimes makes circumstances worse. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blessed Posted March 20, 2007 Talk to him and tell him that you will inform his parents before you tell them. They have a right and need to know... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
