[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mom of teens here.  I would definitely talk to my daughter first.  You are blaming the boys for the comments,[i] but your daughter may not be innocent here. [/i] You want to find out from her what is the nature of their relationship and whether she's made any comments to them that would have led to someone saying this.

Second, I would be talking to my daughter about internet safety - primarily that once you say something online, it's there forever.  In this case, it's not what she said, but it's just a good opening.  Having read texts for years, I can say that you cannot remind your kids often enough that there are no takebacks with texts and whatever you post online.

As to talking with other parents, I am not sure whether I'd do it.  I can think of ways this could come back to cause your daughter problems.  For example, the boy goes to school and say that your daughter is slut talking (and right now you don't know whether it's true and even if it isn't, it doesn't sound like it would matter) and then your daughter could end up with a reputation that she doesn't deserve.
