An interesting concept here - so, what do you do if betrayed by a member in your group, or even worse, a family member??Choosing your prepper group in one that takes careful thought and consideration.

I agree with much of what is said, but I have serious concerns about "cutting someone loose". Who's to say they won't share the information they have about you with others? Obviously the "others" would be stupid to trust them for well-grounded fears of being sold out themselves, but you never know how they sell their information to them. Some people will follow even the most untrustworthy promise if they believe it leads to a better situation.
There's an old saying: "Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer".
As always, time & place considerations apply.

I'm really surprised that eliminating them wasn't mentioned.....if it's a life and death situation and the risks of allowing them to leave are that great then a more permanent solution may be needed.

The thing that article completely misses is that everyone makes mistakes which can and will be taken by others as betrayals. The trick would be in accurately assessing the individual and the circumstances and then deciding if they pose a future risk or not. Assuming a small mistake will certainly evolve into a big betrayal at some future point is tenuous at best.
As for evicting entire families for the actions of a single individual within it ... that's just wrong. Family members are quite capable of having very different natures. I fit that pattern and I know plenty of others who do too.
Whoever wrote that article seems to have a touch of Joseph Stalin about them: "Send the dissenter and his entire family to Siberia!"

lets stop with the common niceties the worlds ended and someone has betrayed your group in some manner that puts them in a sliding scale of risk the solution is very simple review the damage then deal out punishment accordingly and proportionately
for an example say a group member stole critical equipment and traded it for drugs for their own needs then simply get out a bat and beat them to death and order every single member in the group to strike them 3 times with the bat as well or join them on the ground while this is brutal and violent it also serves very well as a deterrent to others and by making everyone take part in the killing it shares the burden of guilt and prevents anyone putting all the blame on you as you can point out they put their own lives above the condemned and were happy to swing the bat This is a tactic to hold and test loyalty of many gang members around the world and it works
The main thing is you have to make sure that your not punishing someone for a very small thing excessively or this will create resentment and potentially put you on the chopping block for the same mistake after all you cant ask for mercy if you have never show any to others
This is where lines get blurred and messy say group member x steals strong painkillers to give to his child who has a broken arm
at the same time group member Y steals ammunition to trade with others for some alcohol so they can get secretly drunk while on night watch duties
who deserves what punishment in these situations ?
its these events that should used to set examples of peoples transgressions towards the group
