Confidentiality was waved by the parents requesting to the nurse that this story be told. I would have posted it myself had I been asked something like this by someone. I pray the baby pulls through.

Breach of confidentiality
Is your boyfriend listed as a person to contact in an emergency or listed anywhere on your son's school records? If not, then the teacher just broke the confidentiality clause of her contract. Just like we are allowed to ask for word help, we are not allowed to say a patient's name, the teacher is not allowed to discuss your son with anyone who is not directly involved in his education. For example if her best friend is the art teacher and your son does not take art, she cannot mention your son to her. By the same token, unless you have given the teacher and the school permission to discuss your son's education with your boyfriend, she is not allowed to discuss your son with him. I would make that real clear to the teacher.
I also think you need to have a discussion with your boyfriend and your son about their disrespect of you during that conference. While it's great that they seem to get along, you never ignore someone during an important conversation like that. Good luck!
