What should I do when my sons cheated in a writing contest? My wife and I are a remarried couple. I have a daughter and a son and she has a son. I am an editor-in-chief of a big magazine. Recently my magazine organized a writing contest. In order to avoid arousing suspicion, we regulated that the family of the magazine staff shouldn't participate. The prize was a remote control race car model. My 2 sons wanted to win the prize very much. So they faked a story about how bad their step-mother treated them. They didn't sign their own names but "2 miserable boys". The essay was written just so so but it moved all the staff. So we took them as a winner though we couldn't find them. Afterwards the event was reported widely and many people began to look for these two boys. My 2 sons feared so they made a video asking people not to look for them again. They uploaded the video onto the internet. But they made a mistake. One envelope on the desk told where we were. Then reporters came to my house to interview them and my wife and I got informed of the whole event. My wife got very angry..... What should I do now? The elder boy is 15 years old and the other is 10. And the contest stipulated that the writing must be of autual events so they cheated.
