If it was your daughter, what would you want to happen ?

This must come out...if the other girl is deranged enough to do something like this, what might she do next ?

Would you want that on your conscience ?

It's not as if you and your friend's daughter have a long-standing history - so even if the daughter never speaks to you again, what have you lost ?

She's told you because she wants the truth to come out.

Hope this situation isn't too stressful for you - but being a grown-up sometimes means doing difficult things. All the best

I tend to agree
She has no previous relationship with you so you have to question why she told you. I would have a great deal of trouble talking directly to my mother or other authority figure about something like that, but if I told someone else it would be because on some level I'm hoping they'll do something about it.
What exactly to do is difficult, but maybe you should try talking to her more about it and she might have some ideas (because we all know that she doesn't want to tell her mum or the instructors for fear of making it worse).
