One of the reasons to Be as Unhelpful as Possible.
A man is murdered. An 8-year-old neighbor hears the man screaming, opens her front door and sees the murderer escaping. Her father, when questioned by the police, says that she had been asleep at the time, and she—having been told by her father what to say—agrees. When the police figure this out and confront him, he says that he did this so she would be kept out of the case.
