Sounds like it went well and you did the right thing, I am glad that your DS listened and you got through to him a bit.

She responded by sending a picture of her in her bra and panties! Sheesh!

And that girl would have no further communication with my son ever if something like that happened! Rude, disrespectul and she is just being a 100% smart aleck! I would surely want to know if my daughter did something like that, I hope you can find her parents.

I think you should block her number...how does he even know her? Not the kind of "friend" I would want my son communicating w/ EVER.

isnt sending pics like that considered illegal if he is underage?

Not sure the underwear pic would be, but the fact she wanted to send nudes?

If they can confiscate a computer for such activity, isnt the same over a cell phone?

I think she be warned of charges of 'sending porn to a minor' ----------if its illegal. The fact is if he wont go along with what she wants, she will do what she wants with another/any numbers of other boys.

Girls are so 'out there' these days it is amazing.

I would not back down and I would tell this girl YOU dont think much of her underwear pic, maybe her parents would like to recieve it on their phones.

If he is not 18 yet, I would be blocking her number too.............which I do realize he would see it on someone else's phone but at least I would know it was harder for him to see it that way.

You can call your cell phone provider and have blocks put on picture messages. He won't be able to send or receive pictures. My DS 12 just got his first phone and he has texting but NO pictures are allowed. We have Verizon. I also asked Verizon to block all downloads. It's just a simple phone call and they'll take care of it. I'd call TODAY!!

Can you have a cell phone number blocked? I didn't think you could.

These kids met and a marching band competition and I wasn't too worried because generally our band kids are pretty smart and sensible, I think that's true across schools. They've talked about practice, instruments (both play the sax) and complained about their teachers. DS can be pretty shy so I encourage him to talk to other kids and be sociable. His acne is pretty bad right now and it's got him feeling really low, so I thought the contact would be good for him and help him get out of his shell.

I'm going to talk to my cell phone provider to see if I can block pictures. There's been practically no contact with her since this was discovered, she's been texting messages like "I'm lonely" and "maybe we should just be friends." I'm putting off the blocking, partly because I want to see whether this girl will back off and they'll go back to texting LOL and jokes and stuff. I don't want a problem to go undiscovered. She's got a lot of issues and I feel as though if she weren't texting my son, she'd be texting someone else the same way and it won't be a problem until after something tragic happens. If conversation goes back to normal, I won't do anything. If there's another breath of sexually explicit talk or pictures, I'm going to start calling schools to find her parents, as well as block services. Meanwhile, I'm going to pray for her. She's a pretty confused kid. Thanks for your advice and encouragement.

Hate to say it, but your son probably isn't the only one she's texting these things to. I would still try to get in touch with her parents. They need to be told -- what they do with the information you give them is up to them.

Have you seen the movie American Pie??? Band Camp.....;*)

LOL, about American Pie Girly! At least this girl doesn't play the flute!

Seriously though, it sounds like your son gets what trouble he could get in with this girl. TOTALLY agree that your son is likely not the only one she's doing this with. I hope they can go back to being friends like you want, but I would keep watch for sure. I really think that they probably won't be able to be "just" friends because this girl sounds to me like she will keep pushing the inappropriateness....
