I'm a mom. I would want to know. I wonder if you could share this information with your own mom or a trusted adult friend and let them handle it for you. The guidance counselor is probably a good person to speak with if there is no one else.

Recently, my 15 year old daughter shared some pretty serious information with me about her best friend and some other friends. It was weighing very heavy on her mind. And then it weighed heavily on my mind. I did not know what to do with the information, but finally had the opportunity, in a discussion with the best friend's mom to alert her, without specific allegations about her daughter, just raise her awareness and give her reason to check some things out. I don't think I could have lived with myself had I kept the information to myself and something horrible happened to the girl.

My daughter has lost her friends due to my action, but she does not blame me. She is glad I said something. She continues to worry about them, as I do, but I think at this point, we have done all we can. She says it was worth that risk to get the information out in the open.

I will keep you in my prayers. I know this is a heavy burden for you to be bearing.
