Let’s say your child finally arrives home 2 hours after curfew and you want to know where he/she was. What do you ask?

Where were you? = no
Where have you been? = no
What caused you to be 2 hours late? = better

 "Working backwards from now, tell me with whom and where you were." = best

Even then, you must have a strategy.  The question needs to be asked at the right time and in the right way. Read my book to find out the intricacies of constructing perfect questions.
