My daughter is having a sleepover, mix of girls age 12/13. They’ve gravitated into two different rooms - and in one room (the group my daughter wasn’t with) I overheard what sounded like a video call with either a man or teen boy. I know it was a call and not just watching content as I heard them respond to a question about the wall behind them in the background. I thought it could be someone from school at first as they had video called some other friends earlier.
I asked the girls that weren’t involved if they knew what it was, they said they were using an app call Amigos. This seems to be a sort of dating/connecting app, and designed for mature use. I went in and the girls stopped the call - I asked if they were talking to strangers online and they said it was Tik tok videos (it definitely wasn’t). I sent them to join the others and watch a movie, and put away their phones.
I’m not sure now on the position with telling the parents - caught between wanting to let them know and causing a hassle as the friends mum who tells tales and don’t want it to them impact friendships. I think I have to share but not sure best way to approach it.
