Can you detect when your own child is taking you for a ride? Apparently not, according to a research on 8-16-year-olds in Canada. Parents are no better than anyone else at telling if their children are fibbing. To put this to the test, Newsday's David Whitty has a chat with 14-year-old Jamie and his sister Rosie aged 10. They live in Edinburgh and David began by asking them what they had recently lied about to their parents. (Photo: Hungarian pupil doing his homework after school in Budapest.
