Ds, yr 7 has been sending blank text messages to two friends at school and to old friends from his primary.
A boy phoned his mobile tonight when ds was out with his dad, asking what the blank messages were about, the same happened last week and ds said it was his younger brother messing about with his phone. But I have checked the phone and found that these calls and messages are made on his bus journey to and from school and sometimes during the lunch-break.
He knows how to text very well to me or his dad. But to these friends they are always blank messages though.
I have asked ds tonight about this but he says the phone is going off in his pocket by mistake... I think he is lying to me. I did tell him that this can be seen as bullying to which he was shocked and upset. He is quite reserved, and I know he lacks confidence in himself.
Any ideas to what is going on? And what I can do for him?
