The father is a Republican and a police man. ??

The problem is if I turn them in and they are executed I couldn't live with that either. They will get executed, they might kill again so on balance I don't think I could.

But the risk is that they cause more deaths. So people would die because you hadn't done that.

No I wouldn't. I don't agree with the death penalty so not sure if I'd turn anyone in.

I do not agree with the death penalty however, I couldn’t live with myself if they went on to kill again due to my silence…

I think it would depend on the crime/s they had committed.

If they were premeditated, murder/s, mass shooting, torture I think I would have to.

I have just been reading a discussion on mumsnet about this and there are some strong opinions.
This discussion is in connection to the Charlie Kirk murder. I would not, I don't believe in state sanctioned murder, I could not send him to his death, and watch as they allow relatives to do in the states that have capital punishment on America, Utah does. Also emotion comes into it, it is my child.
