As a hypothetical since this has piqued my curiosity. What if a close friend or family member revealed they were a child killer (or child molestor even)? Snitchable?

Family member? No. Although it would bring with it some serious issues.

Friend? I dunno. It depends. Depends on the friend, first off. Then it depends on what they did. My friend comes to me and says he touched a little kid or something? No, i'm not turning him in, but i'll smack him in the head. Raped a kid? Still no, but it's probably going to end the friendship. Killed a kid? I...don't know. It sort of depends on the situation and how it comes out. If comes out completely nonchalant and remorseful...I might, only for fear of him doing it again. If he sounded genuinely disturbed and remorseful about what he did, then no. He already has to live with it. I'm not gonna be his friend anymore either, but i'm not gonna turn him in.

It basically comes down to that according to me, myself, my family, and my friends are more important than random other people. This isn't saying everyone I know has free reign to whatever they want in my mind, but it is saying that i'm going to put their best interests before anyone elses, including society as a whole.

Let's say some crazy disaster occurred. My family and close friends are safe, along with me. We're pretty hungry. I go out and find a buttload of food. Along the way, I find a large group of people who are starving. Am I going to give them the food I found? No. It's going to my family and friends. Now, I DO actually believe in helping people so after my friends and families needs have been met, if I have an overabundance, I would try to help out those people, but I have to look out for what's important to me first.

It's really the same thing. I don't know random dude at train station. I DO know my friend, very well. I'm sad that random dude died, and i'm disgusted with my friend, but i'm not going to contribute to something that is going to put him behind bars or be executed. I won't cause suffering to my friend.

Ladiesman, I´m sorry, but that´s incredbly fucked up.

My friends and family are literally the most important thing in the world to me. There is nothing, NOTHING more important than them. I would protect them to the death. I won't let them go to the jail if I have any power over it. I will not let them be executed. They are number 1. That's where my loyalty lies. Without my friends and family, I have nothing.

Honestly, it would probably go further than "not telling the police", especially if it were family. I'd probably help dispose of the body. Family and friends come first, period. End of discussion. I don't care what they did.
