I think that would be being a rat.
I personally know somebody who was drugged and raped at an underage drinking party.
I will do what I can to bust up everyone I ever hear about. I will encourage my children to "rat" at least to me as well.
I understand that her natural teenage reaction was to do what she did. I also understand the stigma kids try to avoid by not being a "rat" or a "narc". But let's not go putting her up on some "hero" pedestal here IMHO.
I believe real courage requires you to be the "rat" sometimes.

'Rating someone out" depends on the seriousness of the actual offense. I would not encourage my children to rat everyone out for every offense. I would like to know about it for sure if it is serious and there could be much harm being done but it is not Christian to "rat" people out for every offense.
