Random person pretending my son is their son to prank call school?! School day it's a safeguarding issue?

DS won an award 2 years ago and it has his name on the Twitter with a picture "congratulations to..." kind of thing.

Never once caused a problem.

His school has received phone calls of a man stating "his son X won't be in school for this this and this" and he is using my son's name. I can only imagine it's some kind of prank? It happened the first time and when DS turned up it was just shrugged off as a mistake, when it was the second time they got the person to clarify who his son is and described him.

This is when I realised it has to have come from the Twitter picture, surely?

They have taken the photo down but have called me in and said that it's a safeguarding issue? I don't see how it's a safeguarding issue. If they thought it was some twat who had seen the photo (they clearly do as they removed it) then why is it a safeguarding problem?

It doesn't make much sense and I'll be contacted today by safeguarding officer. I've not slept all night. Do you think they're suspicious about our family or something?

OP do you have any idea who could be messing around? Any exDP? exH? Any reason at all you can think of?
