Just block the number and be done. It isn't a matter for the fracking police. Jesus.
There are plenty of predators online looking to access and groom kids over the internet. I would not be so quick to dismiss it as a kid’s prank.

We has something similar happen some years ago. Not sure where you are, but you should try to get in touch with a detective that can handle cyber related issues as well as child endangerment. The garden variety patrol officers are pretty useless. My DH (who works in cybersecurity, etc) ended up giving the well intentioned cop a lecture/crash course on those issues, and then they sent out a detective who was more well versed. Might as well skip that step if you can.

Anonymous wrote:My 7th grade DS does not have his own phone yet, so he often uses mine for communicating with friends, playing games and watching Tik Tok videos. Through some outlet no doubt related to one of these, he (I) received a text from a person identifying himself as a doctor and encouraging my son to talk to him in confidence about "coming out." (There is more to the text but I will spare those details here.) I responded with a note asking who this is, and the person came back with DS's name, adding that "your mother asked me to talk to you."
I did a check of the phone number and nothing comes up.
How would you handle this? Should it be reported to the police?
Thanks for any guidance.
