If she is 12 or over, explain to her once trust is broken it is hard to earn back. And a lie has consequences, whatever her reason was.
The same can be true of parents. Hypothetical example below (can happen):
You caught your son lying and punish him severely for it, but he recently was in the car with you when you tried to weasel out of a traffic ticket, or during his punishment the phone rings and your daughter answers it and you tell her to tell the caller you are out shopping because you don't want to talk, and your son was present.

What kind of impact will this have on the son?
A lie is a lie. It impacts the liar and the person that is lied to.

sounds to me like a parent in need of a re-evaluation in parenting....
lines of communication and trust and a whole host of other things seem to be askew.
However the areas of parenting that are hardest are consistancy without forcing false consistancy and the rules remaining the same for kids and adults (like lying that you arent home when someone calls) while at the same time recognizing that the rules for kids and adults are different because of a host of things.... like adults can drink coffee and kids shouldnt, or kids go to bed early or any number of things that happen in real life.
these are delicate things to balance.

It will teach their son it is okay to lie. And if they punish him for lying, they are hypocrites.
