i don't have child
but if he do it i will forgive him because he's my child
but killing another person does not come easly
it's a result of poor education
and is depending the interfare where the child is living
this affects the behavior

Hmmm... that's a hard one. I don't think so. I would always love my child and I wouldn't dis-own them or anything like that, but I don't think I could ever forgive them. Of course, if it was self-defense or something like that, it would be a different story. How about you?

It would take a while and it would take all of my strength, but I have realized that forgiveness can be as important to the forgiver as the forgiven. I could never stop loving my children, even if they did something so aweful. I am also sure that forgiveness would not come immediately or easily. But for the sake of their souls, I would eventually have to forgive them. But that does not mean that I would ever think of them in the same way ever again.

No question about it! Even if my child killed another member of my family I would still forgive him and love him. Not because I'm blinded to what he did but because he/she's my child. Nothing can change that. A mother and a child's bond can never be broken no matter what. Who else will love our children except us their mothers. He/she may have done a terrible thing but we don't forgive them and give them a second chance wouldn't you think it would just push them to the bitter end?

What a sick situation. I do not know where they come up with these situations. I suppose it is better to discuss something more likely to happen than something gory and scary like this.

You would have to, they would probably feel all alone in this world. I've been in a situation where I've had to do this, forgiveness does not condone, it only sets you free from the hate and resentment that you feel.

I would have a hard time doing it, but yes, with G♥d's help, I can do anything, including forgiving my child for doing something so wrong..Because in His eyes anyways, one sin is equal to another and He can help me to forgive..

Wow, what a powerful question. I have never had any children, so this is going to take a lot of imagination. I think it depends on who they killed, and why. I think I would forgive them if they were remorseful, and were deeply sorry and upset and scarred about it, but I would still keep my door locked!

i would definitely forgive my child-I love my children and i would do anything to protect them-I may not like them for what they did but i would still love them.It would be hard to adjust to the fact that your child did kill but as a parent you are to forgive and stand by them-

I don't have any child, beside if I had one,and if he had done this,I will forgive him for one raison, because he is my son . it is hard to believe that one of my sons will kill a member of my own familly,!! it means lots of thing: bad discipline ,bad education , no communication between us ...lol why should all that happen??
I think that I will get crazy if someone do that,even if he isn't one of the familly so what would happen if it were my child !!
beside,my caracter will stop me,my blood is soo cold , I don't reacte even if I'll see all people dying!!
Generally I will get sure ,that my futur kids would not do that!!
