[quote=Anonymous]Taking a step back: how do you know these things, OP? If you personally have observed this behavior from the kid, then the parents know because the kid does not have an "adult filter." They are either dealing with it (and stressed) or not, but a social event at school is not going to be a place where it comes up, and they are not likely to discuss it with you.

Or, you heard it from kid gossip, which means it may or may not be true.

The latter is far more common than you may think. Two parents I know from two different schools have kids (not in my kid's year) who are huge gossips, make stuff up all the time, and feed their mothers' need for drama. They always believe the kid and file frequent complaints about all kinds of kids and adults (falsely accusing kids of drug use, cheating, etc. Serious stuff). They also are the ones who orchestrate ways to exclude kids from activities in a really intentional and toxic way. After years of this, the kids end up having a hard time keeping friends, which the moms then call bullying. But really, it's their kid. [/quote]
