Well, I decided to let my kids have a phone.

Today, my daughter's phone started beeping and I checked the text message, because she was still in Indian Education at the time.

Two, VERY (as in, only adults should understand the jokes) sexually explicit texts were sent to her by a classmate who just got my daughter's # for texting.

I baited the girl by texting back WTF and when she texted back "wat" I said "who is this, ur not on my list" and she said her name, and hello.

THEN, I let her know that I was Mrs. H and that we do not talk that way in our home. I said I would let that time slip, but I expect she never send my daughter anything like that again!

She texted back "KKKKKKKKKK" and then I texted back "thank you, I will let her know you texted, and that if she ever needs to talk about stuff like she sent, I will always lend an ear".

She texted back OK and we left it at that.

I HOPE I did the right thing, it feels right, so I'm going with it...

However, this is an issue for ALL kids, not just children in foster or adoptive care. READ YOUR KIDS text messages!!!

Just my .02 for the day.
