WIBU to phone the school?

[sportmom11]

Name changed for this.

An old school friend of mine works as a teaching assistant in the local primary school. This evening, she has uploaded a photo to Facebook of her two nephews aged 9 & 10 drinking an alcopop to celebrate their football team winning a game.

WIBU to phone the school tomorrow and let the safeguarding lead know? Her nephews attend the same school she works in.

I know it’s not illegal for under 18s to drink alcohol at home, but surely it’s morally wrong? And as a teaching assistant she should know better?

Or should I keep my nose out? As an ex teacher I used to despair when kids (15/16) came in to school with a hangover!

I would never give a 10 year old an alcopop and would judge someone who did but you literally have no idea of what actually happened so either stay out of it or text her.

Do you suspect she might be smuggling WKD blue into the school and handing it out at playtime? Planning the next school trip to the nearest pub? Adding vats of wine to the school curry pot? Putting alcohol jelly shots in the class prize box?

Even if it was all as it seems what does that actually have to do with her job?

That's without considering that it might've been posed, they're not her kids, she might've received the photo and not even be in charge/present when it was taken and many other scenarios.

Glad to see MN HQ are now deleting "Karen" comments.

God she's starting them early isn't she?? Why would anyone give a 9 and 10 year old alcohol and then as if that isn't bad enough take a picture and put it on SM? And if it's just posing then that's really pathetic and trashy IMO. What comments have people left underneath? Do they suggest it's obviously a 'joke' or is anyone concerned? I don't think there's anything wrong with reporting a concern to school - I'm sure she'd be told to take it down as it's inappropriate - but I wouldn't, I'd just think she was a pretty shit parent and likely to have big problems on her hands when they reach 15.

The teacher is not the parent of the children, she is the aunt!

You are just desperate to stir up trouble. Bursting with excitement infact.
Well how about you MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS, and fix some of the imperfect aspects of your own life.
Nasty person.
