I would get a good lawyer and support my kid in every way I could but I would encourage him to turn himself in. If he refused, I would turn him in myself. He killed someone else's child. It wasn't an accident. He strangled her. He would need to take responsibility for that.

He wasn't going to get away with it no matter how much his parents tried to shield him. If he turned himself in, he may have gotten some goodwill from that
