[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 199946, member: 3626"] I'm confused -- why is Sara mad at your daughter? You didn't tell the parents, your daughter didn't tell the parents, so what is the issue there? Mine was bulled a lot at that age and constantly begged me to not interfere. I rarely did and the one time I did, it did get ugly. I think I did the right thing, though -- it was going to get ugly regardless of what I did and at least the parents had a clue as to what kind of child they had (not that they cared). However, your situation is somewhat different. These girls are friends. My daughter's bully was not a friend, just a really mean girl. Are the other girls that went treating your daughter badly? That would be a huge factor in whether I would get involved. The pack mentality is incredibly high at this age. If they're following Sara, I'd definitely stay out of it because it will make things worse. It will be all of them picking on your daughter, not just the one. If the other girls are in your daughter's corner, then I'd be more willing to call the parents. I do think they deserve to know the truth, but not at the price of your child. One thing to remember is that girls fight a lot at this age. So, enemies one week, bff the next. If you talk to the parents, the odds of the girls ever speaking again are probably slim (unless they join the parents are jerks club). Honestly, I think I would have blurted out the fact Sara lied when the parents accosted me. It probably is too late to do much about it now unless Sara's behavior escalates. If it does, then I would definitely be talking to the parents. Otherwise, I think I'd let it go for now. (Sorry for the length and the rambling. I was kind of thinking aloud as I typed, tring to reason out what I would have done.) [/QUOTE]
