OP: "I just looked around online, and I found out that my daughter's boyfriend, who is a student at your school, is really 25 years old!!!!!"
The person on the other end of the phone line: "..."
Oh, dear. It isn't hard but I can see that you're confused. Let me help.
OP calls the school and says 'Our daughter Larla is dating a young man named Laslo Losla, whom we believe to be a registered freshman/sophomore/junior/senior at the school. We also have found out through <source> that Laslo Losla may be at the school under false pretenses and may have lied about his age. Through <source> we believe Laslo's age to be 25. We need you to verify that Laslo is a student at the school and also to verify his age.' That is all that needs to be said and the school registrar will take it from there. Then OP asks to speak with the School Resource Officer if OP hasn't already called the local precinct.
There is no doubt that both organizations will be interested in hearing from OP if only to verify that OP's information is correct or incorrect.
Hopefully OP is incorrect. But it is better to be safe than sorry.
FERPA ( a federal law) prevents the school fromreleasing information to you about another student. They cannot verify his attendance nor his age.
Parents have to do what parents have done for eons .... "Larla, it is a house rule that we know where you are and the people you are with at all times. This is for your safety. I am happy to hear about your new boyfriend. We would like to have dinner with him and his parents. Please ask MarkeyMark to give you his parents names and and a phone number so I can arrange a good night for them to come over.". A slightly less heavy handed version is just to invite the boyfriend w/o parents. If a guy can't survive dinner with you, with sensible answers about his backgound that hang together and corroborate externally, then your daughter shouldn't be dating him.
Also, hope you've had the sex talk and provided access to Long-acting Contraceptives or the pill. If DD is old enough to have a BF, even if she professes not to want or be sleeping with him, it's time to have serious talk and action on BC and what you as a family would support (or not) if she got pregnant (Abortion, adoption or raising kid) and what she thinks she would do in that situation and how it would impact her life choices.
