DS is in Y6, got a smartphone for his 11th birthday last month. Wants to join a chat group with a group of his classmates. I looked at the chat today on one of his friend's phones. Message pinged as I was looking :
Sup kids, paedo SAMS home
My mum
Your dad
The ones we wished we had
I was shocked. Obviously he is not joining.
Other than this, should I:
- Draw this to the attention of this boy's parents
- Speak to their class teacher
- Get a reality check and adjust my expectations as to how 11-year-olds talk these days. Accept there is much worse to come.
