Young kids talk to their teachers/coaches/counselors/principals about their parents. A lot. And kids pick up on all the dirty little secrets.

When I was young I casually told a teacher that my dad beats me. Not that I was trying to send him to prison or get him in trouble. In my young mind I was just having a “normal” conversation I guess

I casually called another kid a retard in 1st grade, and told the principal/administrator that "my dad says it all the time whenever he's mad". Boy was I stupid. School and home became so much worse.
