parents may not lie to child

Side Score: 1

Of course in some cases. lets take Santa Claus, The tooth fairy, and on and on. It has been proven time and again that children who believe in fantasy's are far more creative when they become adults.

Now this doesn't include lying about why the sky is blue, or grass is green.Always answer the kids question truthfully. If you don't know then tell the kid, gee I don't know but lets look that up together.

I think it depends on the lie. Like the other poster said, telling children that there is magic in this world may be a lie in some instances but it's also a valuable part of growing up.

As odd as it is, a lie isn't really bad if it's done with good intentions, I think. But I'm sure there are example that will prove that wrong.

Well, to be honest, I think it depends. What I mean is, you can define the word in different ways. Lying may equals to hiding the truth, or prevent hurting other people's feelings. However, we were thought not to lie since we were a small kid, not matter at school or at home, so parents should not lie to us, too. I am not against anyone, but personally, I don't think telling kids that Santa and Easter Bunnies are real don't count as lying. It is just a fun character we all like as a kid.
