The girl sent the message to the boy!

I would first talk to your son and ensure he knows everything about sex education.

It depends on what the girls parents are like - only you know if it is a good idea to approach them.

Call the girl's parents, but be very tactful. Choose your words carefully and watch your attitude as to not make them defensive.

I think you have a duty of care both children. I sure the girls parents wouldn't want their daughter send stuff like this around. If she txting stuff like this there's more going on as well. Where there is smoke....

What if you had a daughter and a boy txt like this to her or if your Son sent the txt, how would you react then?

I think you should call the girls parents them this. Have a think about their possible reactions first so you are prepared and then make the call.

talk to my son and test out his understanding of "adult" issues. it is up to the girl's parents to monitor her, not me. however if i knew them socially i might initiate a conversation in which we discuss what we've done to ensure our children are properly educated about sex and healthy relationships.

Was he disgusted by it? Did he say, "Ma, look at this nasty stuff she's sending me." If it's obvious that he was severely traumatized by this texting I would talk to her and let her know it's not appropriate. Say my son is a good boy and such messages may warp him for life.

Don't interfere with the girl, it's not your child, you should discuss things with your son and make sure he understand the risk of sex, such as STDs and babies, but that is in-a-way a punishment by putting your child on the spot like that. And btw, i doubt your son gets messages like that just out of the blue, it takes two to tango, and it takes two to text.
