Would you feel obligated to raise children of your business partner(s) if they went to prison for long time?

Question

Would it be more binding (community ethics or traditions), if they were part of the extended drug business family, because you were the leader and they worked their 'ss off to make you happy, until they got caught with drugs, sometime both parents of the children.

Answer 1

this will be decided by a court

Answer 2

no, you did not do anything to put your partners' in jail so, if this happened I would just look for someone who will take care of them (and such)

Answer 3

If I benefited from these individuals actions not only would I feel obligated to I would actually be obligated to aid them in anyway I  could. If this person never brought harm to anyone the fact that her or she is a convicted felon shouldn't have any bearing on ones personal ethics. The right thing is clearly to have this persons back.
