Or keeping the info from them "for their own good"
(Seriously, how many subdivisions in Hell are populated by perpetrators of "for their own good" rationalizations?)
@cavyherd @hannu_ikonen @olena that, or 'they've been through enough'. Like, they'll need to know eventually, better to handle it now than have it be a huge shock down the line.

I mean, aside from the whole, "I have a right to know what's going on with me, & nobody has a right to withhold that information 'for my own good'" 
Denial of consent: it's a hell of a drug.
@cavyherd @hannu_ikonen @olena that too! The more I think about it, the more fucked-up I realise it is.
