Racial abuse via text (13 year olds)

I'll try not to drip feed. My dd and her friend (Year 8) were having a text conversation with one of their old primary school classmates who sent very unpleasant racially abusive messages, including "F*k off you Pki , go and eat a curry" and similar comments. My dd has saved a screen shot of the discussion so there is no way this boy can deny it.

I have no contact with this family but they do live locally and the paths of this boy and my dd and her pal do intersect from time to time.

Should I just leave it? or try to contact the boy's parents to alert them to what he has been saying? Am I over reacting? I;m v annoyed /upset and so is my dd and her friend.

No don't leave it. Racial abuse is hateful and it is illegal. I would consider phoning the police non emergency line for advice.

I agree with contacting the police non emergency line. If you contact the parents yourself it could get emotional and end badly.
