Quote
Well, at least his son believes honesty is the best policy.

A St. Petersburg police report obtained by the Tampa Bay Times says a fugitive's 2-year-old son told authorities his father was hiding in the family's attic.

Valdet Gjeloshi was wanted for violating probation on a battery charge.

Gjeloshi's wife, Megan Merschen, had told police that he was not in the house. But when his son said otherwise, police soon found and handcuffed the unlucky man on the run.

Gjeloshi was charged with a parole violation and for resisting arrest without violence, according to Pinellas County Sheriff's records.

The 29-year-old's rap sheet includes arrests for battery and DUI, according to arrest records.

This isn't the only time a 2-year-old has helped cops pursue law breakers.

Last Year, the Deccan Chronicle reported that a 2-year-old boy told police that his father had murdered his wife.

There are also plenty of other examples of kids turning in their parents for crimes such as drug possession and molestation.

OH NO that isn't moral at all. Those children need to read the Holy Book!! Thou shalt not disobey there parents! It is written in the book therefore that is true morals. Soon they will learn. Maybe god forgive them :>

Is it really morality though?

Or is it more that the child doesn't fully understand the consequences of being open and upfront?

I still remember the day i learned that being abused was wrong. I went to school covered in whip marks and got into my gym clothes for PE lessons. This was shorts and a vest and I was 7.

When I was taken to the headmistress's office I was questioned over all the marks because they were really concerned and I told them I had been beaten. I told them everything. I did not THINK I had to hide it.

I did not understand the crime. I merely spoke honestly because I did not understand that a crime had been committed. It was only then, as I saw and heard their reactions that I understood that what my father had done was wrong.

I don't think that is morality. To be moral you need to know the difference, understand it throughly.

I think the 2 year old saying ' he is upstairs' just doesn't understand why he shouldn't speak, or should hold his tongue. The simple, child like facts are that his father was hiding upstairs. Much as to me, the simple child like facts were that my father had beaten me with a cane.

There was no right and wrong, no moralistic defending of the 'side of good', it was just innocence.

^Yup

Anybody who thinks it's safe to assume a 2 year old has any comprehension of ethical conduct or consequences for one's actions need their fuckin heads examined.

EDIT: And as an aside-- what this kid said is likely to end him up in a foster home if there aren't any responsible grandparents around because the mother will almost certainly be charged with obstruction of justice and aiding and abetting a fugitive, which very well may trigger DSS to swoop in and take the child out of the home.

What Berbs and Q said. Plus - children will not only blurt out the truth with no knowledge of the consequences, they can also be easily led into saying anything an adult authority figure wants them to say even when its a pack of lies, (hence fiascos like the McMartin pre-school trial).
