If my child raped someone, murdered someone for pleasure or reasons other than acting upon years of abuse or the like, embezzled... yeah, I'd turn them in. I really don't think I have it in me to continue to love and support someone who is capable of intentional harm to others, regardless of my relationship to them. For me, any relationship I have with someone is largely dependent upon character and integrity. So I think I'd disconnect, and as such, be free to assist the authorities/victim if their crime warranted it.
I used to see this kind of issue as black & white, murder is murder, crime is crime. But I have since seen enough to realize that sometimes good people are brought to killing another after extreme circumstances. In cases like that, I can see having a different position.
