My 8 year daughter just told me her friend (let’s call her Brianna) told her she steals things at Target.


Brianna is also 8, they’re both on second grade. I’m in shock and don’t really know what to do.My daughter told me Brianna asked her to keep a secret. Brianna also said her mom doesn’t care. ( I don’t believe that’s true) I think Brianna is somewhat a troubled child and I’m not sure if she is a trouble maker per say. Her parents are divorced and are much older 45+ her 3 siblings are also much older only her brother who’s 21 lives at home. She’s allowed to watch some stuff that I don’t think is age appropriate like the series stranger things and some other adult series.Now the thing is a couple of weeks ago Brianna used her mother’s phone to call my phone on FaceTime at first I ignored it because I thought it was a butt dialed mistake, anyways I answered and I let my daughter talk to her and I could hear her saying things like “you don’t need a password” “you can just get it!” I asked my daughter to hang up and asked her what she was talking about, she said she was talking about a game called Roblox. She kept texting and calling asking if she had got the game or not.So I download this game to check out and I explained to my daughter it was not appropriate. Kids can talk with each other, and I explained to my daughter that it can be very dangerous because you don’t know who you are talking too, I also mentioned to her that it was not okay for Brianna to tell her to download a game specially without asking me first. She agreed, and she told Brianna “my mom said that this game is not appropriate” and that was that.Now here is the thing, my daughter thinks she a good friend, and I’m not saying Brianna is a bad kid, but I don’t think her actions align with how we’re trying to raise our kids, I’m very proud she trusts me and talks to me, but I need some advice on how to talk to my daughter about maybe Brianna is not a good friend and should I tell Brianna’s mother? via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2DID5RD
