DS has bought fake id off tiktok

[needanearlynight]

do i congratulate his ingenuity or grass him up? the only reasosn i know is cus i have secret access to his snapchat. he paid £25 off a guy called Charlie . it hasnt arrived yet.

Neither. What age is he @needanearlynight and what do you think he needs it for?

I'd be tempted to snaffle it up when it arrives and see if he mentions it 😉

How old is he?

hes 15! wants to buy cider

Is he an illegal immigrant?

I would be more concerned about you hacking his Snapchat account tbh. Could be very nasty consequences for that.

Sorry read first as DH not DS

15 is on the young side but getting a fake ID is a bit of a right of passage. It was quite the industry at my school…amazing what you could do with an Apple Mac and a laminator 😂. I suspect they are much more sophisticated these days though!

hes not an immigrant. hes a 15yo with a penchant for strongbow. i dont want to reveal my hand re the snapchat.. but he DID add the payee to his bank account and i was notified about it.. so i can kinda keep my powder dry on that.

Don't worry, it will look shocking and be taken off him the first time he tries to use it. Mine spent £90 on one and it lasted two attempts. Sympathy was extremely limited (although I do have some sympathy that he is young in his year and all his friends are 18 now, it's much harder to get in to bars etc than it was when I was their age!)

A 15 year old would likely see his private communications being spied on as a serious breach of trust. The risk of a breakdown in your relationship is probably bigger than whatever mischief he might manage with a fake ID.

its quite common to be honest. I have some sympathy with teenagers these days, we used to be able to sit in a lovely warm pub at 15 with our cider.

I’d turn a blind eye as long as it’s just a couple of drinks with friends and he wasn’t up to anything anti social or dangerous but have a conversation about alcohol.

agree the secret access to Snapchat is more of a worry- it’s basically like your mum reading your diary and picking up the extension to hear your phone conversations was back in our day.

Who are you going to grass him up to?!

He shouldn't be drinking, so if that's why he's getting id you have to stop it.

15 is too young to drink. Brain (evidently) and liver aren’t fully developed.

How on earth do you have secret access to his Snapchat op, or do you just know his password? I’m half impressed and half disapproving!

I thought that you can only be logged in to Snapchat on one device at a time so if you log in from your phone it will log him out of his?

I do think it’s potentially damaging to your relationship with your DS if he finds out you’re snooping, which is very much what you are doing!!

Fake id is due to arrive tomorrow. Me and DH will be in. DS will be at school. To open or not to open. ?

don't open @needanearlynight hide it in the biscuit tin 😊

Me and my friends all have fake NUS cards when they were accepted to get into clubs. This type of thing has been around for years!

No, don't open. Plucking up the courage to take those ciders up to the till and holding your breath to see if they accept the ID is a life experience isn't it?. I remember the 1st time I used someone else's National Insurance card to buy fags I almost passed out!

all the kids do it now. at my Childrens school one students organised about twenty people together and they sent them off in bulk to an instagram fake ID person and got them all a discount. lasted for two years 16-18 of pubs and clubs.

He’ll likely be able to buy booze in a corner shop if he looks old enough and confident but probably won’t get into bar. At least that’s what I’ve found with my 2 DC. You could report the shop I suppose. But kids have always done this, doesn’t make it right.

Ffs. I went on his snap again (don’t judge me). His mates on about getting tattoos now they have fake ids

Haha
my DS got a tattoo aged 16 using his older mates ID
luckily it’s on his thigh and not too big.
cider and tattoos! Exciting!
