DD's friend told them recently he's gay,they are year 7, he's Aug baby so still on 11.5 but has recently got a boyfriend. Until today this involved holding hands at.school and walking around together. Today DD has come home saying the boyfriend took him away on his own and tried to have sex with him.
They did sex ed at primary school so she knows what it is but I'm not sure what the boy actually tried to do (this was at school as well so I doubt they could actually have sex anyway.
The friend hasn't told his parents he's gay so definitely won't tell them about what happened today, and I feel really uncomfortable knowing it when his parents dont. I don't want to break DD's confidence but if she was on a relationship at this age I'd want to know. The boyfriend has already caused some issues in the friendship group which the mum is aware of but not that he's a boyfriend. I also think the mums of the others in the friendship group know he's gay/got a boyfriend but not his mum which seems strange.
I know the mum but as they are at senior school obviously don't see her anymore so I'd have to call her.

@ijustwantwavyhair it's half term next week luckily.
I've filled in the safe guarding reporting from online because the office is shut.
