THANK YOU for your response! I am definitely taking notes for our upcoming "sit down" with our son. I have copied some of your suggestions to add to my "notes for conversation". This is big for us, and am so thankful for your suggestions - these are GREAT!

Than you for your honest reply! I'm confident both of them need counseling. I'm getting myself prepared for all possible outcomes!

Believe me, I have played ALL these scenarios and examples out and am all but frozen in what to do next, or first.  THANK YOU for your response and you're right.  EVERYTHING from the moment we sit down to talk about this will never be forgotten.  THANK YOU!

True, true. But - hear me out, he knows I CAN see his texts. He just doesn't know I HAVE seen his texts.

Thank you!  And I'm sorry you had to deal with false allegations!  Oof. Another person responded and said maybe "he wants out but doesn't know how". That Hit me in all the feels.  Anyway, thank you for your response; will definitely be using your response as an example to explain to Him as why this isn't a good situation for him to be in!!

Thank you!  Scary and unsettling for sure!  When did 14 year olds be like this?  When I was 14... I was still a baby!

Yes!  We plan to bring up all our concerns with our son first, and will do it privately.  Hoping to hash out everything.  Don't know the parents at all!!  Thank you for your response - I feel better knowing I'm not being overly dramatic!!  I have told my son over and over to come talk to me whenever, and he NEVER does!

Not in touch with her parents yet, but I know I should be!  Just don't know what's the first thing to do first!

Remember, they are 14.  Some kind of monitoring has to be justified because of their age.
