On Tuesday, I asked whether you’d turn your father in for stealing the sheep.  Well, I think we all know what the Gibson girls would do!  No, but in truth, I’m not certain, but I doubt that I would turn in my father—and almost certainly not if it would mean life in prison for him.  But I’m also not sure that is the right decision.  Like I said, no easy answers.

One more dilemma for you to consider: An orphanage that takes care of children who have nowhere else to go is about to run out of money.  It receives a large, anonymous donation that allows it to continue operating, and without the donation, it will have to close its doors and leave the children with no food, shelter, or support.  But you discover that the money was given to the orphanage by a donor in his will after he died, but that the money was obtained by illegal means. 

Now, you are not required by law to report what you know, but should you anyway?  If you do report to the police what you discovered, the money will be taken back from the orphanage, the children will lose their home, and nobody can be punished for the illegal conduct, because the man has already died.  If you don’t report anything, then the orphanage will be saved.  What would you do?

Have a wonderful day.
