Young couple goes on van tour of US, boy comes back with van - no girl

so this is societal 'right thing' vs the (supposed) biological imperative
i would imagine 'protecting my child' is a pretty strong impulse regardless - like i can imagine most parents would have to force themselves to 'do the right thing'
i used to watch that show "I Almost Got Away With It". Most of the time when someone was on the run, their parents would help them by giving them money or lying to the police about where they were. Now some of them weren't murderers, but they still helped in some fashion. The paents usually are interviewed and tell thier side during the episode and they usually all say the same thing, i should't have helped, and i knew it was wrong, but i did anyway.
