As I write this, I contemplate if it's even wise to put on here, but what the heck, I need people's advice.
A few months ago, for good reasons, we had to give a youth a 3 month penalty period for her behavior on our trip in May. This is this first month that she would be allowed back, and she would still be under probation. I heard that she had mentioned to someone that she was so excited to be able to come down this month, so I e-mailed her with the 2 different dates for this month. This morning, I got the following e-mail:
my parents don't want me going to Mexico with you guys anymore because they said that they don't feel that you guys are mature enough to be responsible for it.
Now, I have a couple of options as I see it:
Replying with "Okay, well thank you for letting me know."
Adding, "by the way, we are leading the big trip in March as well"
Asking if she wants me to call her parents to explain things further.
Calling her parents without asking to see if she explained things to them correctly.
Just letting it go...
Opinions? I'm going to hold off for a little bit so I can get some opinions and pray about it. Right now, I'm just completely entertained.

If it were me, I would go to the person directly and tell them that you were going to call the parents and explain things further.
Then pray about it and do what you have to do. Good luck!
My 2 cents would be to inform her that you will be leading the trip down during spring break and ask if she would like you to speak with her parents (At least this way you are showing her that you are still willing to have her come along). If she says no than that is that and there is really nothing more that you can do at that point. If she says yes then it would allow you to share with her parents why you did what you did as well as build a relationship with her.
Have fun :)
