[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes. Be prepared for them to get angry with you (“Susie would never do anything like that! How dare you lie to me!”), but yes always share facts. [/quote]

NP here.  This is what I am wondering.  If we are talking about the "my kid would never do that, I will instead blame your kid" types, is there any use in telling the parents?  There are parents of a different culture that I know, where nothing is ever their teen's fault, even though you (and other people) know it most certainly is. These are the types of parents who end up suing other parents over their own kid's stupid behaviors. Sometimes there is no use in telling.  [/quote]

Unreal. I hope you mean parenting culture and not other type of culture. Lots of parents like this in every culture and country and no need to bring that into it here. You have a problem with that particular parent. [/quote]

I don't think there is much of a danger of this sort of backlash where (1) you report only what you saw/heard first hand; and (2) you do not presume to tell the other parents what to do about what you saw.  You are simply reporting what you saw, in case they care. You probably also bring their defense down if you acknowledge your own kid was involved.[/quote]
