Parents....
Stop believing your kid isn't capable of things. Yes if someone is saying hey this and this happened chances are they didn't pull it out of their ass so before you get defensive be open minded to the fact that no matter how "in touch" you are with your child you still have no clue some more so than others, obviously. So recognize yes your kid has and will make many, many mistakes. Acknowledge it, correct it, and let them learn from it and bear the consequences. At the end of the day it's better to teach and let your child learn life lessons when there younger than having no clue when there older because you were in denial, over protective, or sheltering them from what was reality and what is reality. End rant.
