Lying is an integral part of human development and it cannot be done away with. Somewhere someone right now is lying to his/her boss, teacher, parents, friends, etc. But does it mean lying is ok and we should just move on with life? Definitely no. There should be a line drawn somewhere so that we as human beings chose to do what's right and not what right for just us.

For instance, if a child sneaks out of the house at night, goes on a drive with his friends. God forbid, if they met with an accident, or their vehicle breaks down in the middle of nowhere, then the child will try every number on his cellphone but yours.

    I support that parents are watching their children to ensure safety, but you have to keep it at certain levels. I believe that, when monitoring your child’s activities, you should inform them that you are doing so. If you were not to tell your child that you are spying on them, and they find out one day, your child’s trust in you is gone. Some argue that it is best to not tell your child that you are spying on them because if you did they will just use ways to avoid being watched. People with this idea forget that teens will most likely not go out of their way to avoid being watched and don’t have such ways to perform this.

Police and layperson accuracy and confidence are exceedingly important since many criminal offenders engage in high levels of manipulation and deception (Porter et al., 2000). Generally in psychology research we are asking participants to respond to a question then to rate the confidence of their response. In legal psychology research, many times comparisons are drawn between police and layperson samples. A recent overview of literature suggests that most police samples as a whole rate their confidence as high when they actually have similar or lower accuracy then layperson
