That might be what is happening in Seattle or SoCal or wherever you are. But we are talking about Texas. If Srmom's school district is anything like ours here, there is not a lot the ISD police can do. They have to be called by the principal, etc, and it the incident HAS to happen on school premises (or the area around that is still deemed school premises). Otherwise it's a matter for the city police, and even then it's sketchy.
School administrators and the like aren't more equipped than the average person to handle any similar situation....trust me on that!

I don't care how much the other family thinks they are dating, the fact is, you don't text endlessly at 2-3 AM even if you are married... There is a limit to that being loving vs. overwhelming.

I would hate to have the phone company you have. My parents definitely DO NOT get an itemized bill on exactly what my text messages say (trust me, or else i'd probably be in a convent somewhere w/ some of the texts i send)
Are you forgetting these kids are 16? Teenagers do a lot of thinks that adults don't do, like text message or talk on the phone late into the wee hours of the morning. It isn't unheard of and most parents don't care.

But you aren't a licensed or trained professional either, right?
