There should be NO responsibility to disclose such information to parents just because they don't speak to each other. Perhaps there is a critical reason as to why. I went through a situation similar to this girl and I actually did all I could do so my dad wouldn't find out. See the "free range children" thread for examples of parents that feel they need to be involved in everything their children do.
