I completely agree with Lishyloo, The poor child must have been really scared. There are no witnesses to elaborate on what happened. The boy was uncomfortable with the situation and reported it - well done. I think if the school had not told parents then there would be grounds for an outcry. I was taught stranger danger at school and at home when I was growing up. Is that kind of stuff still taught?
