Informing someone about their child's wrongs

Q: I have a cousin who is one year older than me and the problem is he stopped praying and started smoking so am I supposed to tell my uncle about his son's actions (provided that he is a person who prays most of his prayers in the masjid) or should I keep it a secret and also if I should keep it as a secret what should I do if his father asks me about these things?

A:

We will not advise you to spy on him.

Don't get yourself involved.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
