I've name changed for this as I didn't want it linked to my previous posts.
I've found the following text messages, which were written across several days during an activity week. The child is a girl in her mid-teens and the adult is a male in his 40s. The child attended the full week but the adult only attended the first few days. This is an exact transcript of the conversation, but with any identifying details taken out. Is the adult just being supportive/encouraging, or is this bordering on inappropriate? I would welcome any opinions please. Sorry it's quite long, but I didn't want to deliberately leave any of it out.
Adult:
If you look at the [place] I can see it from the [place]! Hope you enjoy the week. I knew you would love it, but I know you will miss me!!
Child:
I miss you already 😂. I hope I enjoy it, the jury is still out right now. Have a safe journey though 😊
Adult:
You will be asleep by now but possibly chatting away or shouting? Have a blast I miss [accommodation name] already 😉. Have fun, not too much I want you all to miss me!
Child:
[Accommodation name] is the best 😂. We‘ll have fun, but obviously we’ll miss you 😊.
Adult:
I know, my favourite [group] I guess!
Child:
I guess so 😂. You missed a great public soaking.
Adult:
Did you get footage?!
How was your theme night?
Had a very lonely boring day, just wondering how much fun I could have had 😞 with you.
Child:
Hiya, no. No footage, too busy hitting [name]. The theme night was good but very hot. You missed [name] dressed as a monk. I don’t think you’d have enjoyed [place] as it was hot. You are definitely missed 😕.
Adult:
Tomorrow looks lovely and hot. Another day where I watch my watch wondering what I’m missing. Enjoy the time it is the best time in my opinion. I miss you all.
Child:
Aww bless. I am trying to enjoy it, today was fun. We had the slip and slide out. We definitely miss you too.
Adult:
Did you get my wet willy in!
If not plenty of time left. Did I leave any credit in the canteen? If you don’t use it tell [name] to add it to the [charity name] fund. You should be asleep by now but I guess you are chatting away and about to get told to be quiet. I would not I would stand and listen!!
Child:
Yeah I did, haven’t had chance to use your credit, but I think we’ll use it on Friday. I thought you’d appreciate a little rule breaking 😂
Adult:
[Activity] rules like any are made to be broken and I can tell you most of them I have. I appreciate that and accept any punishment! Have a great time and I will be waiting when you come home as I need a set of keys and it’s a good excuse to see you.
Child:
Ok. Well I probably should go as it’s [name] out tonight 😬. See you when we get back. Try not to miss us too much!
Adult:
That would be a challenge for me in the old days. Goodnight 😉
Adult:
How’s it going? How’s the weather?
Child:
The weather is boiling. The [activity] thing was 💩
Adult:
Should have jumped in. Or chucked [name] in?
Looks a bit cooler tomorrow. Enjoy the last few days...
Child:
I’d rather chuck him in.
Not long left now.
We went on a late night [activity] tonight.
Adult:
Enjoy your last night, don’t eat too much chocolate! Had a nice week? Say the first few days were the best!!
Child:
It was alright. I survived. There’s been loads of sick people today 😬. It’ll be a good night.
Adult:
Going back? If all goes to plan you may have to put up with me all week 😁. Who is ill?
Child:
I might come back.
[name] and [name].
Adult:
I will if you will.....
[name] is gay, but [name].....
Have a great last day, I love it there. I will see you tomorrow afternoon.
Child:
Fine I’ll go.
We’ll have a good time!
See you tomorrow.
Adult:
Yeh. You will not regret it. Only the backlash of a prank or plenty more. Don’t eat too much crap, you will feel sick, unless it’s all gone already. Until next year!!!
Child:
I won’t eat too much. Don’t worry 😂.
I think I can handle the backlash of a prank
Adult:
Sounds like it has been smashed already? Your with the right man then! Goodnight [accommodation name] 😘
Child:
We haven’t eaten anything yet. See you tomorrow. Good night ☺️
