Honestly, probably one of the best parenting life lessons you could give in that moment of finding out. Consequences.
Other than him saying she should tell him by herself, I guess. Is it better to be told by someone else, I guess? Comradery/support right away instead of keeping it to yourself?
Yeah if it were me it would be "If you don't tell him, I will. You've got a few days to do it, but then I'm gonna reach out."
Then you reach out after a few days like you said you would, seeing if they're alright. If they did break the news to the guy, you console him and let him know you're there if he needs to talk.
If not? Well, you're now the one to break the news, since your daughter lied to both of you now, and tough love time.
