Sister snitching on other parents

[Elephant75]

I have found out today that my sister has been emailing the school snitching on other parents. Apparently she has done it three times, the last time was this morning as she saw two mums hugging in the car park. Also occasions of seeing mums meeting in more than 6. Not sure what the school can really do.

Is this a thing? I'm just really worried about my niece as she already has few friends. Will the snitching come back to haunt her? I have very very little contact with my sister so wouldn't ask her as we don't really speak. Just interested in views really as am worried that my niece will soon get reputation via my sister.

Is this a thing now? It just seems an awful thing for people to do?

Well, people would be stupid to blame a child for their mother's behaviour. It would be like blaming you for it because you are her sister. Madness.

You can't do anything about it though if people are stupid enough to do so.

I wouldn't imagine anyone will find out ots your sister if she isn't telling anyone, so don't your nerve would have to live with any repercussions.

She should report to the school if on school premises, outside of school there are other ways to report. If people aren’t abiding to the law then of course she is right to report. The more that don’t comply, the worse it will get as cases will continue to rise.

Believe me some parents are being careful, others are chatting close in groups while queuing. I wouldn't blame anyone reporting them, they're expected to keep 2m distance here, ideally dropping children off at a designated point to walk in

I would like to take all the people who think it is a good and useful thing to report other people and throw them down a deep hole, but hey thats just me!

LOL, Glad I’m not the only one

Thanks everyone. Really appreciate your views. Yes it would be madness to blame a child for the actions of the parents.

Was she like this when she herself was at school? Always telling tales to teacher? It’s very bizarre behaviour so I’m wondering if she was that kid and is now that adult.

Can’t think why you not really in contact...

About the blaming the child aspect: it's possible the family won't be invited anywhere in case they're in a position to snitch about the odd hug or whatever. That's if it's known who the grass is, of course.

How did you find out? Will others also be able to find out? I can’t see it making yo ur sister or niece by default particularly popular people

Someone has to do the right thing.

My mum told me as my sister had told her over the phone.

I don't have children myself but read the threads on here about the school playground politics. Just worried for my niece really. She's 14.

Just worried that the school admin person might mention it to the other mums. These things get round. Everyone always knows someone don't they??

I just suppose I have to let her get on with it. It's her life after all.

Thanks again.

Hi OP wondering why your DS is at the school gates for a 14 year old?

Your sister isn't the one breaking the law tbf.

The school is quite a drive away to the PP asking....

If people stuck to the rules no one would have to 'snitch!'. This is a world wide pandemic which has and is killing millions...
