| | How far would you go to protect your childrenPage 3 of 4 (1, 2, 3, 4) | All the way regardless of whatever the situation. I would die for them but wouldnt do any good, once im dead the situation could get worst.
I would do whatever it takes to protect my kids.
I even got raped by my ex a couple of years ago and my son was asleep in the next room. I just let my ex get on with it rather than have a fight with my baseball bat & screaming at him. This would have woken my son up & put him in a bad situation. SO I avoided it by letting my ex get on with it.
But I made my ex pay for it afterwards. | |

Heck I even called a Catholic priest to check and make sure what would happened if I killed someone who tried to hurt one of my kids. Even with the "thou shalt not kill" rule, under those circumstances not even the Catholics would consider me "damned". | |

| How far would you go to protect your children Posted: 6/10/2007 4:16:19 PM | : It would take a serious act of God,to keep me from protecting my children,in any way shape or form.They are a part of me.I would give my own life and soul,to keep them safe.I know, they are adults now, but AGE!! is only a number to me.They are still my Babies and i love them unconditionaly.  | |

| How far would you go to protect your children Posted: 6/11/2007 9:45:30 AM | LOL regarding age, when my son was in his 20s and some girl was trying to use him to get her cousin a green card, this momma bear was about reading to hop a plane and go "put her foot down". Naw, didn't have to, he wised up soon enough, but hey, I was ready. Nope, doesn't matter how old they get, they will always be our "babies". | |

| How far would you go to protect your children Posted: 6/13/2007 12:24:01 PM | It is very simple, I would give my own life for my children. Seriously, without hesitation. And yes, I would physically mame, and/or kill someone who harmed my children.
I seen a man in an interview once who was on death row for killing a man who raped and killed his daughter. He said his only regret was that he couldn't kill him over and over and over again. I can relate to that statement. | |
|
| How far would you go to protect your children Posted: 6/14/2007 4:51:27 PM | I would kill or die for any child not just mine however in our society there would be few instances that it would be necessary.
If my child was threatened or violated I wouldn't blink an eye before protecting them. | |

| How far would you go to protect your children Posted: 6/14/2007 6:12:23 PM | | i would go to the end of the world and back to protect my son from harm....but obviously if hes done some thing wrong i cant condone it or protect him from it, the law is the law. we bring children into this world it is up to us to help and support our children...but then again it is also a mother instinct to protect | |

| How far would you go to protect your children Posted: 6/14/2007 7:15:14 PM | I have gone to hell & back to protect my child(ren) & would do it again in a heartbeat. There's a Kathy Mattea song that says there's no place that far. Nothing & no one will stop me. Prayers going to you.  | |

| How far would you go to protect your children Posted: 6/18/2007 3:28:27 AM | | I've never put limits on protecting my children. I would go as far as I had to, including prison time or my life. Now, it also has to do with the circumstance. I'm not going to prison if it can be handled another way...which most situations can be. I wouldn't lose my head causing myself to end up in prison and leaving them without a mother. | |

| How far would you go to protect your children Posted: 6/18/2007 1:24:04 PM | | Of course every father would do anything to protect his son. But what a topic! If you think about all of the terrible things that could conceivably happen to your son, you'll eventually find yourself in a straight jacket. If your son is expressing fears of the unspeakable, I would tell him that his fears are unfounded -- that the world is not full of evil people trying to harm him -- and then mention what you'd do only as an after thought. The first aspect is more important when you think about it. You can't be everywhere at every time and your son most likely knows this. | |
|
| How far would you go to protect your children Posted: 6/18/2007 1:32:55 PM | | By the way, I would tell him this even if it's not the truth. As Jack Nicholson put it, a child "can't handle the truth." I've had to deal with the issue from my youngest son on more than one occasion. | |

| How far would you go to protect your children Posted: 6/19/2007 6:44:43 AM | | I don't have children, but I do have a mastiff I would die for...... I can only imagine the distance I would go for my children (failure is not an option!). | |
|
| How far would you go to protect your children Posted: 6/30/2007 2:00:27 AM | This is really a good question. I've always thought it would be my natural response to easily kill anyone who would harm my child (in the extreme), and would certainly rather any harm be inflicted on myself before her, including death.
However, I must say I am amazed at how few cases I have ever heard of where a parent has actually gone to the "extremes" to protect, or take out revenge on a person who has harmed their child. (Except the man in Saskatchewan who shot his daughter's drug dealing boyfriend - who got one of the harshest penalties I've ever heard of...) | |

| How far would you go to protect your children Posted: 6/30/2007 4:53:13 AM | | as long as i knew they had some one to take care of them without me being their i would happily commit murder in the worst possible way. but i would even go as far as to say i would easily go too far for any child if i thought they was suffering from some one in a terrible way. | |

| How far would you go to protect your children Posted: 6/30/2007 7:40:37 PM | | As a mother of three, I would go as far as I had to to protect my kids from anything. I do not care if my life was in danger. They are kids and they need to be protected. They need the chance in life you had to get as old as you are. Kids need protectors and sometimes the ones they love are not the ones that give it. Sometimes it comes from the father up above. However if a child is asking about this then he needs help. Talk to him, share in his life. Find out what is bothering him. I just got away from a guy who abused my kids and well, I can say I solved it by getting away from him. | |

| How far would you go to protect your children Posted: 6/30/2007 10:15:03 PM | | There is nothing I wouldnt do to protect my daughter from harm. I would sacriice my freedom or my life if it was necissary. I live by one truth since my daughter birth "being a parent is like agreeing to have your heart live outside of your body" | |
|
| How far would you go to protect your children Posted: 6/30/2007 10:51:09 PM | | I would do almost anything to protect my children unless I feel there is a valuable lesson for them to learn...example..I have always told my kids, if they went drinking or clubbing and felt they had to much to drink...take a cab or call me and I will pick you up.....but because they know my rule on this, if they get caught driving under the influence and were as a result arrested....I would not bail them out..sometimes you need to be cruel to be kind | |

| How far would you go to protect your children Posted: 7/5/2007 6:29:13 AM | Let's throw protection out the window for sec.
How about this.
Your over 18 child has gotten himself in to a little trouble that has landed him in jail, but he can be bailed out. It was his fault all the way. Do you bail him out?
I say no.
You daughter has ran up the bills and is going to ruin her credit royally. Do you make things right?
I say no. | |
|
| How far would you go to protect your children Posted: 7/5/2007 3:53:27 PM | Tough love all the way... this teaches them to be responsible for their own actions.
No... I would let him stay in jail, he needs to be responsible for his own actions.
Its her responsibility to work extra hours or get another job to get herself out of debt, or she will always be turning to her parents for money. | |
