One of the more dangerous jobs out there is Whistleblower.  I would never want to be one and I hope that nobody in the family would want to be one too.  It is so dangerous not only to the whistleblower but to the entire family.  That is why I admire individuals who are so strong so as to throw caution to the wind and become whistleblowers.  Kudos to them. 

Once you have decided to become a whisteblower, you have also taken into consideration that you can either become dead (or any of your family member dead) or injured or all the information that you have been hiding (all the skeletons in the closet) will be exposed by the same people that you are also trying to expose.
