[quote=Anonymous]Boy parent here: please encourage your daughter to recognize that this behavior is absolutely unacceptable. That needs to be the starting point for a plan to make sure it stops ASAP.

She should have input and primary control over the initial phases of the plan -- perhaps try to block him on Snapchat and practice statements to make to his friends who approach her about curtailing the harassment. But she also needs to hear from you as her parents that if the harassment doesn't stop, you are ready to step in on her behalf. Even if your daughter doesn't want to "report" this, she/you might want to consider talking to the school counselor to get general advice -- my son had an issue last year with threatening texts and the school administrators were really helpful in helping us figure out a response. They've seen it all before, unfortunately.

I'm probably a bit naive, because my oldest is only in 8th grade and still relates to girls only as friends, but I find the persistence and crudeness of this 9th grade boy pretty shocking. I know, kids can't be sophisticated at this stage of life, but he obviously needs better guidance on how to interact with women. [/quote]
