I think you misread my comment. I described why I would not pardon him.
And I agree with that, because it's a child you are teaching.
I was asking if you hadn't ever let you kid face consequences till his 50s, he publicly confessed for crimes you were aware of and didn't turn him in.
Because at 50 years old.... You're not teaching them a lesson.
So would you continue knowing your son is gonna just keep smoking crack and breaking laws, or would you treat them like any other person and throw them headfirst into the justice system like the crime bill you wrote in 1992 did to tens of millions of actual children for 32 years?
OP's question was a out whether I would encouragey child to do whatever they want, lneing I could remove any criminal consequences. I would not so encourage them. Grind your axe elsewhere.
