I talked to both of the parents about the stories, divorced parents who don't always get along, and how upset I was about them. I wasn't sure she wasn't going home and saying that I was hurting her somehow. Both parents assured me that she hadn't said anything about me hurting her and hadn't heard the stories at home.

I sat down with her a couple of times and told her that it wasn't nice to make up stories about people hurting her. We talked about the difference between real and make believe. We talked about how she needed to tell an adult if she was really hurt, but not to make up stories about being hurt.

Thankfully, it stopped right away.

Personally, I would NEVER encourage one of my kids to tease another one.
This! Absolutely agree!
OP, please talk to the parents.
