Reliability and validity of information
The Henny Penny example (Swartz and Parks 1994).
'Just because you hear info lots of times it does not mean that the info is valid.'
Rumours and gossip are similar.
What are the questions you should ask to figure out if the question is valid? 
Can you transfer to other areas?
Children need to check if info is valid. To do this ask the source and find out if anyone else thinks the same thing. Promote good decision making.
Swartz and Parks (1994)

Reliability and validity of Internet research
Check modification date
Who created the page?
Knowing the links eg dot com address
Is there a bias attached?
Search the author’s name
Verifying sites

How do children verify the source of their information?
