He left his phone at home today so I had a quick look at his texts - found one he sent a week ago that said "Have you got any of that 10 bag left" then "Are you getting it".
That definitely means drugs to me. We have had to ground him in the past due to him drinking alcohol in parks when he was 13 and take his paper round money off him.
The boy he sent the text message to is his best friend at school (although I have only spoken to his mum three or four times).
Obviously we are going to question him tonight. It might be the first time - I haven't noticed any changes in his behaviour but I have just spoken to a drugs line and they said he could take a substance when he goes out and the effects could have worn off by the time he comes home a few hours later.
Do I tell the boy's mum? I am sure my son will spill the beans but he would be absolutely horrified if I spoke to his friend's mum.
The woman I spoke to on the drugs line wasn't so sure I should do this - she said I really had to weigh up the pros and cons. She said his mother might know already.
I really don't know what do do.
I think we will have to come down heavy on our son especially after the alcohol and now possibly drugs - ground him again and make sure he hasn't got any money. This paper round seemed a good thing but now it looks like he has too much money.
