    Definitely NOT! Doing something like that could get the child kicked out of his home, and/or beat, and/or cause him to have to deal with reactions and situations that he might not be ready to face yet. It's no one's business but the child's and to go ahead and "out" someone is a form of violation imo.

    • I agree. Outing someone is a form of betrayal and dishonesty. Mean, and even if all the parents don't agree with it, that doesn't mean they should get involved.
