It has been ten years since 21-year-old Mack went missing. A Columbia University senior, he walked out of his room and has not been seen since. Every year he calls his mother on her birthday, on his birthday, and on Mother"s Day. He assures her he is fine, refuses to answer her frenzied questions, then hangs up.

After confronting Barbara about Mack’s son, Carolyn and Olivia agree “to wait until he is older to tell him the truth.”Why do they consent to Barbara’s request?  What is the appropriate age for this revelation?
