What are your views about shielding children from unpleasant truths? When is it important for a child to know such truths? When is it better to keep a child in the dark? And, is it right for an adult to lie to a child to "protect" him or her?

I believe that all kids should eventually learn unpleasant truths. When and where should be up to their parents. When a child is curious about one of these unpleasant truths their parents can tell them a lie that wont hurt them, unless they are ready to know.
