[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't monitor like that, but I personally would think that was perfectly normal and I'd expect there to be plenty of numbers on[b] my tween [/b]or teen's phone that I wouldn't recognize.

She's got a large group of friends and people change numbers often. She's in numerous activities and meets new acquaintances and friends from other schools in the area with whom I would hope she'd exchange contact info if she wanted to keep in touch but whom I certainly wouldn't know.

I don't know the random person in her class she's assigned to work in a one-time group project with and needs to contact about that, so I wouldn't recognize their number either.

Not to mention occasional contacts she needs for work.

I don't recognize all the numbers in my own phone address book - that's why they're in there and not just in my head - let alone my child's. Nor, frankly, do I see a need to.

Unless the text you saw gave you reason to be concerned, or your child is very young, I wouldn't worry about this at all and I would do... nothing. [/quote]

Really?  How old is your tween?[/quote]
