You seem to have a problem with parents wanting to know if they can actually trust their child.

Actually, your comments, and your moniker, indicate that you have doubts trusting your children.

Trust is earned. When someone breaks that trust, they have just demostrated they are not trustworthy. Certain consequences come from being untrustworthy.

And these people certainly weren't over the top about it either. Reading the story, after they found out she lied the first time, they still let her go out, only to lie again and again. They didn't clamp down on her 'big brother' style after the first time. Maybe they wre hoping she'd stop lying to them. How Orwellian of them!!

And smart guy, my moniker has to do with my employment history in a certain intelligence organization.

BTW, I am happy that you apparently have 'good' kids and that they have never lied to you about anything. Maybe if they did it wasn't about anything you considered important enough to verify. Unfortunately not every parent has kids that have never broken their trust or required a parent to be on top of what they were doing because they were lying to them about where they were and who they were with.
