My eleven year old came back from guides tonight crying her eyes out as after one of the leaders went home early the other said she had "an announcement" and told them all that the leader who had just left was terminally ill with cancer,the doctors had said they could not help her anymore but she was being positive about it...oh and not to ask her any questions about it.
I know death is a reality etc etc but surely the parents could have been warned that they were going to be told this.

AIBU?
To think guides should have given parents a bit of warning before telling 11 year olds one of the leaders is terminally ill.
