“If you tell me, I won’t beat you.”

One of the greatest scam of all next to, “Go and put on your shoes, I’ll wait for you,”

Lol.

Let’s go a bit legal: Privileged Communication protects the client from having his information disclosed in a court of law unless he waives it. Such privileged information exists between a doctor and a patient, lawyer and client, between spouses and you can bet that it exists between teachers, parents and the children.
Hold up! It happens between siblings too.
Especially when one has done something wrong.

“Tell me. I won’t tell daddy or mommy.”

You spill and the next thing you hear right... http://syncityng.com/2018/06/28/my-children-and-i-with-abigail-adetokunbo/
