She is proper starkers!
Have quizzed him as to whether or not they have had sex, he says no.
Have confescated phone and laptop.
Spoke to him at length about how wrong it is.
Told GFs mum.
Now what.

how stressful for you. I really hope things turn out ok.
FWIW I would probably have done the same as you, 15 is not 18.

My daughter is 15 ... I do not treat her as a child but I do know that she is sexually inexperienced and that she has not had a boyfriend as yet ... If she became involved with a boy I would do as any mother would do and remind her of the legal and emotional elements of any sexualised behaviour

If she sent a naked photo to a boy who was stupid enough to have it on public display I would want to know so that I could talk to her about it ... in my view it is more of a problem than, for example, them "fooling around" and starting to experiment ... it would place her in a very vulnerable position ... I would want her to understand this so that she could avoid placing herself in a similar position in the future

I think that the OP did right to notify the Gf Mother

If this had been general porn ... I would expect less of a reaction ... but this is 2 youngsters who do not seem to understand the potential distress such a public photo could cause both of them

I'm with you in spirit. It's a hard old time for parents feeling criticised for what you do, no matter what you do, whilst worrying yourself sick.

Plenty of parents have trodden this same path and come out the other side. Please take heart you are neither alone nor unusual

Goober - I think you're absolutely right and I'm glad to see support for you. IMO it's called parenting. 15 years old is not an adult, it is still a child - they don't have the social, intellectual or emotional skills that you gain through maturity and experience. I would think I had failed as a parent if I didn't deal with something like this. If one of my DD's had a BF then I would want his mum to be like you!
