Is there such a thing as witness protection (or its equivalent) for the criminal's family?
In my about-to-start WiP, the two main characters' dad is found at the beginning to be a murderer/rapist/paedophile (I haven't decided which yet) and it'll be something that turns the whole community against the family (mum and twins).
My question is, would they get witness protection, and what is the procedure?
They are in serious danger, as they live in a rough area, and their dad did some hateful things. Also, would they be allowed to live with an aunt, as it's miles and miles away?
I don't know whether it's different for the UK and US, but someone from either would be great
