My 12 year old son has had a girlfriend for a few weeks now, all seemingly innocent and just kids being kids... I thought.
Last night he was showing me pictures on his phone of him and a couple of mates at the park when he came across a picture of his girlfriend who he quickly scrolled past. From briefly seeing this it looked as thou she was posing (not in a way you would expect a child to, she too is 12) I asked my son if I could see the picture and he said he had now deleted it.
When my son was in bed I was still feeling uncomfortable about the situation so I went through his phone. He had deleted the picture so I can not be sure, also there were no other pictures like this.
I checked his texts between him and her and some of it shocked me (adult type conversations) for example
Him - can't wait to see you baby xx
Her - you too darling. I love you xx
Him - I love you too and can't wait to kiss you xxx
Should I be concerned? I'm in two minds whether to discuss it with him because I know he will be upset I've invaded his privacy in this way.
