Kemper now:
I don't have the canon, but doesn't she say/imply that she hasn't told
her parents anything with regards to Cedric and Voldemort returning to
power?  This is information that she consciously does not discuss with
them.  It is a lie of omission.

Kemper now:
I'm okay with the memory charm on the parents if the parents were in
choice of that decision.  

If my magical child ever did that to me without it being my choice, he
better leave me that... because I will smite him.
