You will get everything you want but first open the door Sometimes an adult has to break the rules to stand up against others that break the rules. permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] DaBPunkt@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago (2 children) So the child would learn that you are not trustworthy and will flush the pages next time no matter what you say or offer? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 10 points 5 months ago* No, afterwards you explain that the severity of the situation made it so you had no choice to lie. Its not even about the paper, a 5yo child should not be locking doors. Children are incredibly skilled at endangering themselves in creative ways and they may not be capable to open it after. You’re number one priority is to get it unlocked. The adult should also learn their lesson here which is to not leave keys on any door and to place those important papers out of reach. permalink fedilink source parent [–] festus@lemmy.ca 9 points 5 months ago The child should learn that blackmailing an adult cannot succeed.
