False Confession
What should parents do if their child confessed to something he did not do to avoid worse punishment for "lying" because of their strict policy on honesty?
Example, you asked your child if he did something wrong and he says "Yes, I did" because he was fearful you would not believe him if he said "No, I didn't" and get even worse punishment for what you think is "lying" because you told him he would get him into even more trouble if you thought he lied. Then you later found out your child did nothing wrong.

Re: False Confession
Like real adult life, i think there needs to be some evidence before meting out punishment.

Agreed. I can know (in my mind) one of my girls has done something but if I can't point it out or have evidence then they just get the age old warning "you better not let me catch you"

I have done that too... But usually would have talk about "how we can keep this from happening again - since we both know this is unacceptable... " Sounds noble anyway! Lol

And nothing wrong with being noble, lol. 
With three girls, (as Im sure you know with multiple children) its not always easy to decern which one may have been the culprit. And your sure not going to get a straight answer, lol. And they make pacts with one another, the youngest is usually the informer of the group, she will inform me of which of the other two may have done it. Now as the youngest has gotten older and mischievous herself the other two have dirt on her that allows them a new immunity from her.

What if she didn't think you would believe her if she told the truth and thought you would punish her any way? A case where she is doomed if she does and doomed if she doesn't.

How old is she, and is this the first offense?
If she is 12 or over, explain to her once trust is broken it is hard to earn back. And a lie has consequences, whatever her reason was.

The same can be true of parents. Hypothetical example below (can happen):
You caught your son lying and punish him severely for it, but he recently was in the car with you when you tried to weasel out of a traffic ticket, or during his punishment the phone rings and your daughter answers it and you tell her to tell the caller you are out shopping because you don't want to talk, and your son was present.
What kind of impact will this have on the son?
