And you are missing the point if you focus on the parents. do you think your kids are exposed to swearing at school?
2 point plan: remind your kids that you feel cursing makes one seem vulgar or dumb or whatever, and that you do not want them to swear, even if their friends do.
then, the next time you hear the kid, tell him you like him and would appreciate it if he would not swear in your home as you think it vulgar.

Oh, I did mention it to the kid! Just a mild sentence about how that sort of language isn't allowed in our house. He looked a little embarrassed, but seemed to get over it quickly.
Thanks for all the responses. It's an awkward conversation to have, but it's better that I mention it. Thanks for confirming my (seldom perfect) instinct.
