I just called the mum (a friend of sorts) of my daughters friend. They're 11/12.
My daughter is shy, timid, quirky and kind. This friend is clever, popular, gifted and pretty. My daughter looks up to her.
Now both in high school, this girl has been sending unkind voice messages, WhatsApp message to my daughter etc. Mocking her. Always in a group setting. I've found a few just during phone checks. I took some screen shots.
The kid is from a nice family.
I phoned her mum to discuss, she was lovely, neither of us want our girls to behave in any wrong way online. The mum did downplay it slightly but I just gave facts and how my daughter was feeling. Nothing heavy. The call ended fine.
My daughter will go mad IF she finds out though, thinking I've overstepped the mark
but the mum thanked me and assured me, it would stop. I believe she'll try to tackle it, however this girls one of a tight group now. My daughters on the peripheries. I think it's likely she's their mocking point in truth. Though I haven't told my lovely daughter that.
Please tell me I've not made it worse for her, as others in the online groups have already started being unkind to my daughter I noted.
I'd say this girl is the queen bee of the group.
I hope I've done the right thing.
If not, please be gentle and advise.
