No. I could not do what Cindy did if my child had done what KC did. Period.
Not if my child murdered my grandchild, accused her brother and father of sexual abuse and then also accused her father of covering up the death. Nope. My child would need to face the music. You can still love your child.
You mean in general? I'm all confused now. If you do mean in a general way: To save my child's life, I'd lie my azz off.I voted with my son's answer; I purposefully did not want to provide lots of different options because it's too easy to add a million "under these conditions" and I wanted a more black or white answer.
If I could vote twice, I'd have to honestly say, "I don't know". Mainly because my two boys mean the world to me, but at the same time I'd be so nervous in court I doubt I could even fib about the smallest thing asked of me. I'd most likely confess every mistake I'd ever made regardless whether it was relevant or not to the case! :innocent:

I asked my 16 yr old son and his reply was interesting... He said he would NOT lie, though he said telling the truth and knowing it might destroy his child's life would tear his heart in two. He also said if it was a death penalty case he might *think* about it but in the end would feel the need to tell the truth!
Nice news to hear from a teenager!:rocker:

No. i would make sure that my child learned to accept the consequences of their actions. That is called parenting.
To get her off and out of jail...no. To save her life, I honestly don't know.

I agree. Wouldnt lie to keep them out of jail, if they did something wrong. But to save their life....wow, I guess I probably would. But I dont know for sure unless it was actually happening to me.
Absolutely not! My parents - G-d rest their souls - raised their five children to be ethical, moral individuals who take responsibility their actions, good or bad. They were probably hardest on me as their firstborn, and I would have been punished severely for lying or doing anything else that my parents deemed unacceptable behavior. While the discipline for my DD was never as harsh, DH and I raised her with the same ethics, morals and values. Neither of us would compromise ourselves if she were in a situation similar to ICA.
