Also, my phone has a block feature, you should investigate that as an option, and also document everything.

How can one parent tell another parent about his/her child's inappropriate behavior without placing blame? IDK? But the general rule of thumb for school admins is that parents do not allow another adult parent to interact with the "offending child"--i.e. deal with your own child... That needs to ONLY be dealt with the "authority in charge"... In this case, the girl allegedly was "trespassing" on private property with intent...
And while, yes, teens can hide their behavior, texting does have a cost factor, and the parents cannot be that far gone to not think, "hmmmm, my child might have a problem, etc.?"
But, I had forgotten, that most high schools have a code of ethics, and she has violated them. So, the girl would be done a favor by the son speaking to the school police. Then, the question will be asked if charges wants to be made and an investigation sought, which immediately involves the school, the school psychologist, and the admin who legally has to report the incident to various agencies...
@Srmom, my point to this is, do not attempt to handle this by yourself (or your family by yourself)... Once you choose to speak to the parents independently, it is just not worth that melee that can ensue with your family...
Your son attempted to end his relationship in good faith, but he just did not choose a girl who can take the break-up. Since they are students at the local HS, they have to treat each other respectfully, she has violated that. And your son has rights, too...
