My ds got a phone back in August for his birthday as he was going to high school in September.
I’ve kept a close eye on the phone & messages etc as any parent would but was surprised to see that a girl in his year (aged 11) was being quite nasty to ds in a group chat..
A bit of back story.. they liked each other in primary school, she said she didn’t like him and was mean to him with a few of the other girls. Anyway, told him at the time not to let it get him down and he got over it as they do...
A few weeks ago she started messaging his phone and said she liked him and wanted him to be her bf but he’s not interested. He hasn’t been mean to her as far I know, no mean messages or anything like that but I’ve seen her calling my ds a cunt, fag and changing his name to include the word ‘gay’ , example: imagine his name was jason... she’s calling him gayson
He’s not upset or anything like that but I’m not happy with my ds being sent messages like this... he’s 11... I wouldn’t be letting him watch stuff with that language on tv let alone expose him to homophobia... I hate small mindedness... I know I can’t stop it at school but I feel I should do something about these messages
Wwyd? I could do nothing, I could block her number from his phone, I could speak to her mum which is what I’m most inclined to do as I would want to know if my son was calling other children cunts etc. He would lose the right to his phone.... curious what other mumsnetters would do
