they lived just down the road from us, they were shunned from the start with protesters outside their house

they should be ashamed of their actions and wound up lossing their child too due to their bad decisions

If I had a child who killed someone I’d rat them out immediately. The family of the person they killed gets their justice and I have a higher chance of keeping my kid if I still want to talk to them after.

Yeah, I don't understand their logic behind helping him escape. They had to know even if he did somehow manage to get away and evade the law, they would never see him again. Even if you don't care about the other family or have your own morals, at least think about how you'll still be able to visit your son if he's locked away. Turn your kid in and then hire a good lawyer to try and save their life and get them help behind bars.

While it hasn't happened yet, I know for SURE that if the cops showed up to my door to talk to my son, I don't care what the reason is, I'm going to bring him to the door. Or at least, I will tell them that he's in the house if he refuses to come himself and he's an adult. Don't forget that after he showed up at home with her van but without her, they went on a family camping trip. Don't you think the question came up around the fire about what happened to Gabby? About why he asked for a lawyer? They could have done a lot more to help the Petito family like any good human would. And cancer or not, they brought the protesters on themselves. Had they been transparent and cooperated with law enforcement, protesters wouldn't have showed up. Stop making excuses for them. They are horrible people and deserve to be shunned from civil society.
