Nan,.would you tell the parents WHY you give him this nickname? Or would you address the fact the child is saying this, but.clearly not being hurt? As a parent, honestly, this nickname business would make me.SUPER Suspicious the child WAS being hurt and the nickname was given to cover up something. I guess if you discussed the nickname first,.and the parents.approve, then it would be ok. But who would approve of that? Not me.
Oh it wouldn't be a secret. I would be saying it in front of them, by email, and text.

If I had a kid claiming I hurt them their parent would know five seconds later by text, skype, email, carrier pidgeon... whatever was the fastest.
