1XTRA NEWS: THE REAL TALK OF THE STREETS
Would you shop family?

A 19 year-old's preparing for jail after his dad turned him into police for hiding a gun. Has his dad saved someone's life?
Neil Metcalfe was straight onto the phone to the police when he found 11 live bullets in his son's room.

A modified 8mm Vendetta pistol was later found when police arrested Paul Metcalfe.

Paul's looking at a mandatory five-year stretch but he's still positive: "Dad saved me. I was angry. It's right that parents take this line. If more did, there'd be less trouble."
Did Paul's dad do the right thing? Do parents have a responsibility to turn in their kids? Would you shop a member of your family?
