Maintaining Moral Authority

I heard a story this week of a teenage girl who found out that her parents have been lying to her for years. She's adopted and they decided that being dishonest was the way to handle things.

Because things like this never come out.

The daughter reacts badly and acts out a little so the parents have her examined for drug use and to see if she's still a virgin (she wasn't using drugs and she was still...pure). Let's just throw some gasoline on that raging fire.

Since it's too late to be honest from the beginning, why not sit down and have an honest discussion instead of tying the kid down to an examination table and prodding her should be private parts.
