<p>He is going to be bothered by the betrayal for a long time. </p>
<p>I worked with a woman who I considered my friend. She was well-liked and seemed very stable. After she left our company, the next person who took her place found some “inconsistencies” in the bookkeeping. I was given the task of auditing her books from her first day of employ and what I found was that she was stealing money. (BTW, this was a human service agency providing services to mentally ■■■■■■■■ adults - and it was their money that was stolen.) For months later, I felt so betrayed - “how could she do this?” Even now - more than 10 years later - I still feel the same way. I never even really felt anger - it was hurt, betrayal, confusion, etc. </p>
<p>Your son is going to need you, his parents, to be his sounding board. He needs to sort through his feelings, without you being there to try to solve his problems. </p>
<p>I agree with the others not to call the other boy’s parents. I’m sure they have been informed by the school.</p>
