My 14 year old daughter started high school this year and even though I was against her having a phone, I decided to give in as I did not want her to be the cause of ridicule and I wanted her to have communication for safety reasons. I set up Secure Teen on her phone so that I could monitor her texts, calls, etc and she was unaware that I had this installed on her phone. Of course my wife and I went over the rules and even made her sign a phone contract.Yesterday my wife and I did a spot inspection on her phone remotely and found a conversation with a boy and he asked her to send naked pictures and she sent him a photo of herself in her underwear. In return, he sent her a very detailed photo of his penis! Of course as a parent I am appalled! It also came to light that this boy asked her to go for a walk in the woods after cross country practice. She lied to my wife telling her that the coach needed to talk to her and that she would be late coming out of practice. She said that nothing happened but at this point, I do not trust her. This is a crazy world that we live in and I do not know this boy and have no idea what his intentions are. Especially at 14 years old, this is unexceptionable behavior!I want to contact this boy's parents to inform them of what is going on but I do not have their contact information. This boy goes to my daughter's school and runs on the boys cross country team while she runs for the girl's cross country team. I have taken my daughter's cell phone away but I am not sure what my next step should be. Never in a million years did I think that I would encounter this! Should I contact the boy directly and demand his parent's contact info and threaten to go to the police if I do not get it? Do I contact the school and try to go through them? Or do I go straight to the police? I am in the US and I know that child pornography is very serious. I know that my daughter sent a pic to this boy but she did have cloths on. Could she still be charged with distribution? I'm quite concerned and I want to take every step to rectify this before this continues to get worse. I appreciate any advice or guidance you can provide. via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2xYJKrB
