My Swiss husband will accept a call from one of the parents of the boy. No one in the family has tried multiple times to make contact with us. The other boy has rung twice - tonight being the second time. I did not speak English with him, we spoke in German. He does not have to keep chasing us down. We sent him a letter saying when his mother could contact us and she didn't bother.

I have not said "..he said, she said.." but simply given a representation of the facts as agreed by all parties.

Although the other family obviously seem to expect their son to deal with the matter on his own - can they really expect our 13 year old to stump up CHF 400 without the involvement of his parents.

I didn't read the whole thread, but have you met the boy? A plausible explanation is the boy is keeping the story away from his parents. Perhaps he's afraid of his parent's reprimand, and may even be a nice kid. Why don't you or your husband check him out?
