They should do something … but do it quietly, so you don't have to hear about it again?

Discussing the issue with parents doesn't count as doing something? Have you considered that they are doing things and of the various avenues they're pursuing, the part that hurts most is explaining the problem to their own parents? People who should have been on their side from the start?
