She gives her boy a misleading statement (7)
I believe the answer is:
natalie
'she' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'her boy a misleading statement' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'her' could be 'nata' and 'nata' is located in the answer.
'statement' could be 'lie' (lie is a kind of statement) and 'lie' is located in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'gives' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for natalie that I've seen before include "Wood perhaps" , "girl" , "Girl's name" , "female name" .)
