My friend did something really bad...?

Question

He was talking to me about a pretty illegal situation. It sounded like he was trying to imply that he severly hurt somebody but didnt want to actually say it. It is on his conscious and its obvious, but what kind of help can i offer him?My friend dosent want to turn himself in, but it seems like the right thing to do.

Answer 1

well to be honest i think you should somehow see what he did and if its severe or really bad report him but if its a small thing you could get your friend to apologize

Answer 2

Just turn him in if he doens't confess or else i will!

Answer 3

if you can get away with it, dont!!! you gonna s***w up the rest of your life for one mistake.........lesson learned dont do it again.

Answer 4

my advice to be is to try and get him to go to confession it will make him feel a lot better because the priest can't tell : )

Answer 5

you could do 2 things, ask him directly about it over the phone to see what the deal is. second if u believe it is at all serious and someone is murdered or injuryed call the authoritys or go down to the police station for guidence or to ur parents or close relitive or freind u really trust and ask if something like this has occured to them and what they did. i wish u the best and hope all turns out ok.

Answer 6

If he approaches you again, you could tell him that it is important to do the right thing and turn himself in.  

You don't have enough details to report him yourself, so it is really up to your friend and his conscience.

If he finds it necessary to go into detail, tell him you would rather not know. If he tells you, you may find yourself in a terrible dilemma.

Then you have to decide whether or not to report him.

Answer 7

Give him ways to make up for it, community service blah blah blah, payment of some kind if he really wants to feel better. If he wants to amend his conscience. If he wants to stay on the right hand of the law, tell him to own up.  

Answer 8

Well you don't know nothing. So it is up to him.

Answer 9

Only idiots turn themselves in.  What he wants to do is express his feelings for what he did.  he just has to tell someone he trusts that wont turn him in.  Its the same as that story where the guy kills someone and has his body between the floor boards and he could hear his heart beat even though he was dead (the simpsons had an episode about this)...that was just a was to express what he was feeling.  your friend is feeling the same way.  

Answer 10

Well, what else to do than tell him to get a Lawyer?
