The psyche of a kid is such a fragile thing. You don't want to risk damaging it by having a negative reaction to their behavior. You should be supportive and diplomatic. Gently try to guide and influence them, but don't challenge them as that will backfire...

Okay, I had to get all of the BS out of the way because I know someone is going to say it. I don't know if I could be that restrained Mark. Unfortunately my reaction to such a discovery would probably land me in jail for child abuse. Then I'd call the cops and so on. The idea that any kid would dare attempt these things in my house would set me off. Of course, if it ever got to that point I'd have to seriously consider that I was too lenient on the kid earlier on...
