What do you do if you find out a relative is a pedophile?

Answer 1

if there a pedo don't let them babysit your children report them to the police and cut off any contact with them and make sure your children stay way away from the person who's a pedo!

I think you should,

call the police,

do not have ANY CONTACT with the sick freak,

if your child has been sexually molested,

the first thing you need to do is sit down and talk to your child and get the child's side of the story and say i believe you, that's a very important part cause if you dont believe them then they'll probably be sad and hide a lot of things from you,

and then call the police,

their always going to help.

I think that you should find out if he is an active one. If he has stopped for years, served his time, let him your life but not near your children for a while. if you find he has kept going then call the police but just because some has DONE it doesn't mean they WILL always do it.

If he/she is a relative and a really close one talk about it with them, make sure they aren't still doing it. What people whom have answered forget is that it is blood-family, not family friend. If this person has not been in the act for over a year then just let him/her in your home with CONSTANT supervision. If he/she is a repeating offender and has done it to your kids report it to the police and cut off all ties to this person.
