Data breach school

Would I be unreasonable to inform a parent that another parent has used their position as a teacher to find out privileged information about their criminal background and share it with other parents? I don’t think it is right for her to be gossiping about others behind their back.

I would probably tell the Headteacher but would word it very carefully.

In what way please?

Do you work at the school? I’d report this properly if so, don’t inform the parent.
If it’s gossip only, do nothing.

No I don’t work there, I’m just another parent. The teacher in question has now left the school but has a child at the school and has laughed about this person behind their back and informed others of their prison sentence. She freely admitted she found this out through information she was privy to in her role.
