Dear Benny Henderson, the Child Detective: Iā€™ve been happily married (or so I thought) for 17 years. But now I strongly suspect my husband is cheating on me. How can I prove it? And if he is cheating, what can I do about it?ā€”Cecily Powers, Beaverton

Hi, Mrs. Powers! Gee, thatā€™s a tough problem all right! I hate cheaters too! And cheating really stresses my teachers out. Jimmy McPhersonā€”you know, from science class? Anyway, he kept getting really good grades, even though heā€™s totally stupid! Mr. Sanford, my science teacher? He decided to set a trap for Jimmy, so he left a science test grading sheet in his desk drawer, but with all the wrong answers! Guess what? Jimmy failed the testā€”haha!ā€”and now everybody knows heā€™s stupid and a CHEATER. Haha! Hope that helps!


Dear Benny Henderson, the Child Detective: Thanks to the Equifax hack, much of my personal information was stolen, and as a result, $40,000 is missing from my bank account. Now Iā€™m afraid Iā€™m going to lose my house! Is there any way to track down these thieves?ā€”Jeffrey Simmons, NW Portland

Hi, Mr. Simmons! Wow. That sounds like a lot of money! Iā€™m not sure why Etch A Sketch would want your house, but hereā€™s what I would do. Tell on them! Go to your principal and tell them what Etch A Sketch did. You may be scared, but itā€™s the right thing to do. Hope that helps!


Dear Benny Henderson, the Child Detective: My sister has been missing for three weeks. Sheā€™s been known to mix with the wrong crowd, but I really thought sheā€™d straightened out her life. Now sheā€™s gone, and the police have no clues. Please, please, please help. Iā€™m desperate!ā€”Dorothy Ladd, Tigard

Hi, Miss Ladd! That sounds scary! Is there an old barn down the street from your house? Iā€™d check there. We have an old barn down the street from our house, and sometimes I go there when I just need to be alone and read comic books. Are any of her comic books missing? I love comic books. Hope that helps!
