My husband (52) and I (47) recently discovered our son (16) is a sugar baby for much older men. Unsure how to proceed.TL;DR My son is a sugar baby, and my husband and I don’t know what to do.My son, Sam, is gay and we’ve always known, he never had to come out, it was never a huge deal, our whole family loves him and supports him, we do our best to be open minded but I think we might’ve been a little too accepting based on what’s currently going on.While helping him search through his email for something related to school, I happened to see an email from a website that I knew was a sugar baby meet up site. It’s a very popular one, I’m sure you can guess. He quickly scrolled away, and I held my tongue until I could talk to my husband about it.When we confronted him, he admitted to some things but said we were blowing it out of proportion. He says it’s basically just friends who give him gifts, according to him there’s no sexual contact, and these men just want someone to spend time with. I’m not sure I believe this, because I know he does meet up with them. My child is underage, he can’t even be on the website. This is all so horrifying to me. He won’t give us any more details about these men or the dates or the nature of the relationships or anything.Reddit, I don’t know how we could’ve been more blind, and I don’t know how I raised someone so... conniving? Scheming? It sounds bad, but he’s apparently really good at sneaking around. The reason we couldn’t find the school email pertaining to his schools choir is because he’s no longer going, he’s been using that time to go out on dates without raising suspicion. I hate to admit it, but we went through his phone and found nothing. I don’t know how it never occurred to me that it was weird that my son that only works part time is making enough to afford all the stuff I now know are gifts.This all just happened and we haven’t figured out a punishment or what to do from here, does anyone have any advice? I’m desperate, and there’s not many people I can turn to without discussing my son’s private business with someone he knows... via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2nikt8D
