That way, they at least know where the original source was. Don't explain it yourself, if you don't feel comfortable; tell the kid exactly your dillemma, and don't try to hide what you're doing. "I'm affraid if we tell you that your mom will think we're people you shouldn't hang out with" or the like. Steer him toward factual definitions that he'd have to work on his own to get: the article, the dictionary, etc. If he learns it "on his own," it (1) is edcuational in a weird sort of way and (2) isn't any worse, ostensibly, than discussing any other current event at the table.Don't hide what you were doing. If your group isn't mature enough to play with 13 year olds without mentioning bestiality then that's fine. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> But acting like it's taboo is going to make the kid a lot more curious than if you just tell 'em straight what's up and why.</blockquote>
