Answerprancer - puts me in mind of a school incident, many years past.
Little girl comes into school and says a man said nasty things to her and asked her to get in his car. I report double quick to head. head phones police and gets little girl in office. Asks what colour the car was - 'red' - asks child 'is there a man in a red car outside now' - child replies affirmative - police arrive mob-handed and arrest the driver.
He's hauled inside by plod -'is this the man?' - No. Embarrassment all round.
'That isn't his car. You only asked if there was a red car - it's not THAT red car.'
This story is actually true.
My experience tells me that sometimes you need to ask and answer around an issue.So if you tell someone their child doesn't have to attend school, they might read that simplistically in such a way that they end up in bother that they wouldn't have chosen if they had a glimpse of the big picture..
