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...

There are ways to speak to parents without making it seem like you are placing the blame on them. Srmom SHOULD speak to this girl's parents. I agree with how AGDee suggests handling the situation.
The school police will not do anything because none of these things happen on campus, it is happening at srmom's house.
I don't think the parents will think anything is wrong based on her text messages. They could still be under the impression that their daughter and srmom's son are still dating, which is why she is texting him so much. I text a lot, and my parents wouldn't think anything was wrong based on the # of texts, especially since most people have that "unlimited" text messaging plan.
