If It's Love... Then?

by Hero Jenkins

Monday Morning Survey

Police officers are often presented with unique dilemmas in the course of their work. Many are family dilemmas. Here’s one that a police officer friend of mine posed to me.

Imagine the blended family: two strangers who met and fell in love, each with kids from previous marriages. It’s the classic Brady Bunch family.

In fact I will use the Brady Bunch in this scenario because they are characters that most of us are familiar with. If there is a 'modern day' equivalence just plug in who you know.

Now here’s the dilemma. Imagine Marsha and Greg Brady are away at college. When their eighteenth birthdays roll around they announce that they have fallen in love and want to get married. Technically they are brother and sister. The parents are against it, but the kids have made up their minds and it is tearing the family apart.

You are the officer the parents call for help. What would you advise in this case?

Answer in the survey below, I will report back with the results later on in the week.
