It's in the asking...

I recently attended a discussion forum for adolescents and parents. A number of experts presented information about the use of the Internet, amongst other topics. During the presentation, a uniformed police officer asked the children if they had a fake ID. Not surprisingly, no-one admitted to this. However, when the police officer rephrased the question to be "Do you know anyone with a fake ID" many children admitted they did.

How you ask the question will determine the answers you get.
