The answer

There is no sin upon you for what you did out of ignorance of the ruling, or before reaching puberty. Do not tell your mother anything about what happened, for it is prescribed for a Muslim to conceal himself with the concealment of Allah. Strive for righteousness, performing good deeds, abandoning evil deeds, and drawing closer to Allah.
