I caught mine signing up for MySPace the other day. I over heard him and his little buddy discussing his fake age of 20 years old. All I know is I dont wanna raise none of his babies!John Donationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03758722152465803834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19429534.post-22432299277805608562008-09-08T23:59:00.000-04:002008-09-08T23:59:00.000-04:00I'm with pat and syd.He's underage and you gotta t...I'm with pat and syd.<BR/><BR/>He's underage and you gotta take all precautions.<BR/><BR/>And forgive me if you're already there, but get thy buttcheeks to Alanon, my sister.<BR/><BR/>Big hugs from Minnesota.

I understand your concerns. I would be just as concerned if the wheels were turned. My only suggestions is to have a serious mother/son talk and set rules, etc.Beth Blairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318506551967913628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19429534.post-74704205354523561972008-09-06T11:24:00.000-04:002008-09-06T11:24:00.000-04:00girl girl girl...ya know I feel ya!1.

It's possible he erased the texts cos his phone will only hold so many before it runs out of memory (mine can hold 48). <BR/><BR/>Panicking never solved anything. Just watch him closely. He knows you're counting the meds.<BR/><BR/>Try not to worry yourself sick. It doesn't solve anything. I wish I could say something more helpful.<BR/><BR/>Good luck.Sober Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12340632102386917791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19429534.post-25773836147027544152008-09-04T23:44:00.000-04:002008-09-04T23:44:00.000-04:00"OK, so WTF??

Ca...Holy CRAP!!!<BR/><BR/>Put him on Daytrana the ADHD patch. Cannot absolutely positively be abused LOL. It's the one I started Pint with, I didn't like the Adderall anyway.....Goes on one hip and lasts 9 hours. The medication is not even a gel in the patch, it is just embedded in the adhesive. AND there are no regular tests needed for liver function and heart testing etc.<BR/><BR/>As to the girl......I would confront her parents (privately) with the evidence, they probably are NOT aware that she is sending half porn pictures to him. That should stop it.<BR/><BR/>Then, I would institute parental controls on his phone (ATT has them, don't know your plan) and take away his texting for a month.<BR/><BR/>but, that's just me and I am a nasty bitchy mom who didn't care if they hated me occasionally. I was strict. It worked four out of five times.......<BR/><BR/>which proves that nothing is very reliable, especially well meaning advice from well meaning friends LOL.

Because your son is underage, maybe it's time to take the cell phone, lock up the meds, get him into therapy, and do what needs to be done to make it plain that it's your house and he will have to abide by some rules. I'm sure that there are many here who can offer suggestions better than these. I don't have children and most days am thankful for that.Sydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05642843245634635843noreply@blogger.com
