Show of Hands

They're gonna find out...use it as a learning experience: "ok kids, this is why we don't eat people...."

Tell them when they are old enough, and dont make it seem like a major, scandalous, horrible thing.

Definitely tell, at some point before they start making their own healthcare decisions. By the mid to late teens, for sure. They could well have the crazy in them; not knowing (anything!) is never better than knowing:

Lol, of course his name is Chad.

Tell them when they are ready.

[Cue Star Wars montage]

I'm certainly not going to share that information with a 5-year-old. But if they are an adult, sure.

I'd probably tell them, but when they were older

It's something they need to know, especially if it could put their lives in danger.

Why tell them? Maybe when they're adults. But, there's no reason kids need to know about that that I can think of.

Why tell them there's no benefit for anyone in that

I probably wouldn't tell them, but I would keep my bedroom door locked at night just in case the problem is genetic :-)

Tell them when they are older and we start talking seriously about good and evil.

I changed my name and moved away because of him. I will let them know when they are adults.

Tell them when they are fairly young

I'd tell them when they were older. And I wouldn't change my name and shit.

I'd tell them when they're old enough to handle information like that.

But I'd call him Uncle Chuck.

If there's a hereditary factor I want to (you have to) address it while they are young in order to employ an intervention that will hopefully avert the behavior from presenting. So yes, we would talk about it.

If you are going to change your name and get a new life why would you go on still talking about it...

Not when they're little children. I might tell him I have a brother who was very very sick and he's somewhere where he is safe. Probably in their older teens I would tell them the story.

If he got the death penalty would he be a hanging chad? Because those are problematic.

I'll tell them Uncle Chad was a very bad man and that I will tell them the details when they are older.

I'd just tell them because if they find out via someone else then they'd probably get creeped out and wonder why I didn't tell them. They'd also probably then question other things iv told them.

I'll infer it in subtle ways but not tell them straight up

Tell, but not until they are adults.
