You make a decent point...but in fairness to Melissa (seeing as we actually like her) Sheriff Stilinski probably wouldn't have believed her. At least about the alpha pack and werewolves. He might have nabbed on to anything to explain all the murders though... Her son is a werewolf. She had the means to prove her claims at any time. Stiles never trotted Scott out in all his wolfishness for the Sheriff because Stiles was scared to involve his father in what was going on. This was an understandable, if somewhat ironic fear. The Sheriff only narrowly avoided becoming Kanima food like all those other cops when Matt took over the police station. Ignorance is clearly neither bliss nor a guarantee of safety in Beacon Hills. As a responsible adult, Melissa really ought to have overruled the teenagers in the matter of keeping up the masquerade.

Chris Argent (and the Hunters generally) are similarly inexcusable. They conceal the existence of the supernatural from the authorities in order to preserve their hobby of hunting people. It would be easy for them to prove things as well, but they don't, although in their case it is to keep the world as their private hunting preserve.
