[quote=Anonymous]I did something stupid as a kid that could have had really bad consequences if it went a different way.  Here is how my parents handled getting the truth (I didn't want to tell them because I knew I and my friend would be in big trouble)

My parents sat me down and reiterated multiple times that I wouldn't get in trouble if I was honest about what happened.  They said it was a serious issue and they needed to know the truth.  I told them .  We had a LONG discussion about the severity of what could have happened and all that, but in the end, they held their end of the deal and I didn't get in trouble.  They certainly scared me enough with the "what ifs".  Anyways, it also laid out a good foundation going forward that I could go to them with things and not always suffer a consequence (like when I was 16 and at a friend's party and called them to come get us because there had been drinking and I didn't want anyone to drive).

So this is what I would do with your kid.  Just see if there is any chance she got roped into doing something stupid.  But make it very clear she's not going to get in trouble. [/quote]
