[QUOTE="Sister's Keeper, post: 685569, member: 20051"] My kids are a little too young for this, but if it were me there would be a whole lot of "no" going on in my house. I may be a witch with a capital "B" but: There is absolutely no way I would allow my child to leave school so that he could spend the day on the internet with someone. There is no way in hell that I would ever allow, much less pay for and escort a 15 yer old child 1300 miles to meet a girl he met on the internet. There is not even a situation in which that is even a remote possibility. I'm thinking at this point I would have to get very tough. I would take away the phone, insist on counseling, and demand that all internet use be strictly supervised, including any communication he is having with this girl. I would tell him that he could communicate with her for 30 minutes a day, only when supervised, and that at the 1st hint of anything inappropriate communication would be halted. I'm going to agree with the others about the ages. Chronologically 13 and 15 aren't that far apart, but in terms of maturity levels they are way off. 13 is 7th grade, junior high, 15 is a freshman in high school. This is not an appropriate relationship for a lot of reasons. I also agree that you and your husband need to get some counseling so that you can be a united front and parent as partners. [/QUOTE]
