scapegoat from another child's story

Hi new to this site. Just wondering how you deal with your child being a scapegoat for another child's story.
It goes like this my girl overheard a girl talking to another girl who kept asking so many times what are you doing today and the girl replied going to a party. The other child then proceeded to talk about it to another girl who wasn't invited either. So it got blown out and one of the mums got upset that her daughter hadn't been invited.
When it finally got back to me I forgot to mention the above so now my daughter has been branded as a bully and the main problem

Smiley this makes confusing reading I'm afraid and could be why you haven't had any replies.
Try giving the girls made up names... It helps to clarify.
Also how old are the kids?
Was your daughter invited to the party?
Try to clarify a bit and maybe somebody can offer advice Smile

ok sorry about that. so my girl patty overheard Susan talking to Alice who kept asking so many times what are you doing today and Susan replied going to a party., Alice then proceeded to talk about it to April who wasn't invited either. So it got blown out and April's mum got upset that April didn't get invited
When it finally got back to me smileyface I forgot to mention the above and now Patty has been branded a bully and the main problem.
I hope that this clarifies for people.
Patty was invited to the party. All the children are between 9-11 yrs old

Clarifies a little but tbh not a lot, sorry. Patty overheard 2 girls talking, did absolutely nothing with the information that she overheard and has now been branded a bully?! It doesn't add up op. I'm willing to bet that Patty has got herself involved and started stirring things with the two girls who weren't invited making them more upset. Parties and lack of invitations can be a real minefield and somebody always seems to end up feeling bad. Maybe talk to Patty about being kind to others and staying out of things that are none of her business?
Otherwise, just leave it alone, there'll be a whole new party drama to worry about by next week Wink
