My daughter has been sexting a lad from her football club but she’s only 14
DEAR DEIDRE: MY 14-year-old daughter has been swapping sex messages with a boy of 15 from her football club.
He has been sending her pics from porn films too.

No issue is too small, too large or too embarrassing. Read our personal replies here.
I’m her 44-year-old mum and was absolutely horrified when I found these pictures on her phone.
The things he described doing are too rude to repeat.
He also asked her to send him graphic images.
Luckily, she hadn’t sent him any pictures.
I told her how serious this was – and illegal – and said it had to stop. She agreed.
The sexting has stopped – I’ve been checking.
But I’ve found out he’ll be at her friend’s party next weekend. I worry something will happen between them there.

I can’t stop her going – it’s one of her best friends’ parties and she’d hate me.
But I am desperate to protect her.

DEIDRE SAYS: It sounds like you have a good relationship and she has taken your advice on board. Keep your dialogue non-judgmental so she knows she can come to you.
She may even be secretly relieved you put a stop to the sexts.
You need to show her you trust her to go to the party. Remind her she’s under the age of consent and they could get into serious trouble if anything sexual happened.
Give her my support pack Underage Sex to read.
