I don't remember ever hearing or reading that, and I'd like to see exactly what the instructions/circumstances were. Thanks.

It is a commonly known fact the parents were told not to discuss the kidnapping with MK to preserve her testimony. GovernmentShrinker's explanation is the precise legal explanation. The parents could not question MK and I'm surprised so many of you have forgotten that.

Any normal parents would disregard such advice and advise LE that they are the parents and want to learn all information possible that could lead to the return of their daughter.
