It depends on the context and the specific laws in your area. Generally, if a minor lies about their parents giving permission, it can lead to a misunderstanding, but the consequences for the parents may vary. If the adult believes the minor and takes them somewhere without verifying the claim, they may not face legal repercussions. However, if the situation involves potential endangerment or illegal activity, it could lead to further investigation. Parents could face consequences if it’s determined that they were neglectful or if the situation raises red flags regarding the minor’s safety. It’s always best for adults to verify permissions when in doubt.
