[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your daughter handled it well and it sounds like you don't have anything to worry about. I would leave it alone. [/quote]

This. Really shocked at how little trust PPs have in their kids. Must not have very strong relationships if they feel the need to read all texts.[/quote]

Many of us have children with ADHD or other things that make them less able to make mature decisions. It's not a question of having a great relationship, PP. Otherwise it would be easy!

Seriously, 13 year olds don't make mature decisions.  Neither do 14 or 15 year olds.  Thing is that, as OP has discovered, it's not only what your kids do, but what others send them and what they do with what gets sent.  Just about every parent I know whose kids have reached HS age has seen their child send or forward an inappropriate photo.  One of my kids got targeted by pedophiles who got a hold of his phone number and it took me weeks to get rid of them.  No way could my 15 year old handle this.

Yes, they are.[/quote]
