DS's ex-gf sent him a "sext"- should I tell her parents?

These are my two cents on the topic.

Don't get the school involved at this point, with their zero tolerance rules the issue could get blown out of proportion. Tell your son not to talk about it with friends either. Keep it private with the girl and her parents.
Hopefully they are not closet lunatics.

It might be a good idea to have the GF involved in the conversation you are having with her mother.

Make it clear to them that you are doing it out of concern for her and your son too. Nice kids make mistakes too

My 15-year-old cousin sent a sext of herself, topless, to a boy. The boy's mother told my aunt about it and she was very grateful and addressed it appropriately with my cousin (not with a beating!). My cousin now understands all the possible consequences of sexting. The boy's mother and my aunt hadn't met prior to that time.

This is just an example of how some people will appreciate being informed of what their children are doing.

Having been a teenage girl who always. got. caught. I understand the need for boundaries and privacy. This is private. Mothers should not know about their daughter's sex life, no matter how curious they are.

You have to be joking. You think the mother shouldn't know what her minor daughter is doing. And what she is doing is considered child pornography and is something that could be out there in the internet world for the rest of her life. If this isn't a place where a parent should intervene and parent then I don't know what is.
