Mobile phones and the danger with teenagers |

I wanted to tell my eperience with teens and mobile phones and the dangers.
We bought my 13 yr old daughter a mobile phone for christmas as we thought she was responsible enough to have one.Maybe we were wrong.We had a 29 yr old male friend,who is a single
dad and also 2nd cousin to husbands daughter.He would come over on occasions ,for a little social drink and his boy would play with our 2 youngest boys.My husband and he would have a few drinks so on 2 occasions we offered him the spare bed,thinking we were doing the right thing so he was not drink driving with his child in the car to endanger him or other road users.He had also been over on other occasions but did not stay as we are not big drinkers and would chat over coffee.
We had him added on our contacts on msn also and I found out later he would talk to her on there aswel,but silly me conversations were not logged on my kids computer.So now all my childrens conversations are logged,but she is banned from computer and phone at the moment.When he would chat to us he would hint that he wanted to come over so on some occasions we alowd him to come over,we now think he was grooming us as these kind of people do in gaining our families trust,he was never alone with our daughter.
When a friend mentioned that my daughter had been on the phone to this man while staying at her house,alarm bells rang.Why would this man be ringing our teenage daughter.We have found out he had been ringing our daughter,every second night on her mobile after we had gone to bed.It seemed that he had been calling her s e x y and saying she had nice legs and on one of the times he had stayed at our home he had said to our daughter he had thought of sneaking into her bedroom.Then we also found out that he had put his foot up her skirt, and had asked her to meet him at a bus stop,but luckily she said no as we do not let her just roam the streets for something to do and to protect her from men like this,but without knowing we alowd one in our home.We did inform the police and it will be recorded against his name and they were going to go and see him and make sure he knows he is not to come near our home or our daughter.
We feel so betrayed by this man,in what he was doing to our daughter and abused our trust and our daughter.We welcomed him into our home,so my advice is always know who your kids are on the phone to or msn or other chat sites,and sad to say always know who you allow into your home.
