Would you rat out the neighbor’s kid?

Hopefully, they also haven't allowed their unlicensed 15yo daughter to drive a car anywhere.

Almost all kids who have finished their sophomore year of HS are 16 by now. I don’t know why people keep saying 15.

Because if you have finished your Soph year, you are now a Junior. That's why.

If a neighbor (doesn’t matter if it’s one I’m close to or not) texts and asks me a direct question like this, I answer it. I’m not going to lie or ignore the text (so rude) or pretend I didn’t see the text til hours later and then answer once the car is gone (which is also a form of lying, BTW). I get that you don’t want to be in the middle of it, OP, and I wouldn’t either. But if someone asks me a question I’ll answer without lying or pretending not to know or ignoring.

If you don’t want them to ask you similar in the future, tell them so. Be direct.

I’m pretty sure OP is talking about a kid who just finished sophomore year. I have kids who just finished school—4th grade—last week. No one is calling them 5th graders yet because they haven’t started 5th grade yet.

No, I simply wouldn't respond. Nothing to do with me.

Then you are a rude person. It’s rude not to respond.

If you guys aren't close, she shouldn't be involving you in this.

Parents are abdicating their responsibility and involving you. I’d answer as above. This is not your problem.

15 year olds aren’t driving though…so at least girlfriend must be 16. Use your common sense. This is almost certainly a kid who just finished sophomore year and is 16.

Well who knows then. My kids refer to themselves as whatever grade they will be in after summer break now, as do I.

Answer it once. If she keeps texting you about stuff like this tell her you don't want to be the out of town monitor.

OMG those teens were doing it all night.

It's different in high school, I guess. As soon as graduation happens, the next class of kids call themselves Seniors, and so on down the line.

Of course OP not doing anything wrong but the asker IS. It’s not for neighbor to monitor the son. The parents left and did not hire neighbor to babysit. If parents want a question answered, ask the son. If the son isn’t answering and need welfare check, the parents should call police. Way out of line to ask neighbor to be monitoring kid.

I would answer it as if it was a neutral question like - do you see a package in front of my house (ie something came early or late)? is my garbage can still on the curb (ie did the kid i paid to drag it back do her job)?

It's extremely rude not to answer or to lie. It's not your business what they do with that information but it's something that a neighborly neighbor would respond to when someone is out of town.
