More innocuous example: I remember when being a kid in school, the police were by for a visit to educate on alcohol responsibility, and touching on ethanol/methanol dangers since moonshine was a thing, they showed a distiller (which "if clearly meant for distilling spirits" is illegal to own), and some kid blurted out "my dad has one of those!" immediately when seeing it. The teacher tried to claim "teacher-parent confidentiality" when asked to identify the kid/parents as if that's a thing, but I don't think they took it seriously enough to warrant further action. Nevertheless; yeah, kids say everything.
