DS has just turned 15, this started about 4-5 mths ago. She is currently 14.
They met once, she was visiting a friend near to us (up North) she is from 'down South'. Since this meeting they have been FB friends and messaging.......constantly!
DS started enquiring about going down South over the summer holidays 'to meet his internet buddies', at the time I did not know it was a girl, so over my dead body, he got angry/tearful/but I love her etc
He has been caught a number of times in the early hours talking to her, she apparently has a number of medical / mental issues, one of them being anxiety and on,y his voice can soothe her in the middle of the night , he thinks he is the only one who can help her!
I confiscated his phone for a week a few weeks ago.........he was caught, again, the other night so has lost his phone, laptop etc until further notice and we have had serious words.
I've looked at the messages & I think he really does believe that he loves her, but she is so needy & pathetic & probably very vulnerable (I'm not sure what her parents think she's doing all night, but I'll bet it doesn't involve some of the convos I have read).
I want him to end it (I haven't said that yet but pretty sure he won't!)
I want to send her a message and tell her to back off & stop messaging him (bug I can't in case he hates me forever!)
We've tried to talk to him but it's in one ear & out the other!
Really don't know what to do
