Yeeaaahh. While I totally get their intention to protect (and thus I can believe that someones in their parentally concerned position might make that decision), I find it difficult to see a likely future in which this information doesn't eventually come out in some (potentially more painful) manner anyway. And they've already seen how that kind of thing can so easily and dangerously backfire, especially with someone as recklessly bold as Courtney can be.

Aaaaand the parents are idiots - again.
There are many things you can protect people from - the truth is not among them, sooner or later it always surfaces - no matter how deep you bury it (especially in TV Shows).
The only thing you're doing is planting a seed of misstrust.
Also: Not having all the information could actually put Courtney at risk, acting on faulty/incomplete information - so while they both ain't idiots, somehow they think that her feelings are worth more than her life? Find the flaw...
