Uh huh, sure it accidentally happened to start by itself. Yeah, I believe that. Needless to say, they never asked me out ever again. They just wanted to be friends. Then he wonders why I'm still single.edit on 22-2-2012 by Manhater because: (no reason given)

I called the phone number and talked to his mom..
I got the phone # by searching the cell phone and his name.
Did a little sleuthing.
She confirmed it,and I call my local police on advice on what to to.
I gave them the info,they told me to save the messages and that they would have a detective contact me.
Anyways,that's what I'm doing now.
Kind of freak me out a lot,because I thought it was just this boy on her bus.his name is gerrome also,but spelled different.
This just happened within the last couple of hours.
He was like,what's up.....
The broken heart symbol can't do it here,
Why haven't you text me. So and so on.
Kind of in shock right now.
Ive not been able to do a reverse look up on a cell unless I pay for intelius data.. how'd you manage that? Id love to know because I might use it if it cost less than an intelius report!
Why do I get the impression that common human rights (like privacy) have been completely forgotten in this age?
Governments and parents have no hesitation in walking over anyone who can't resist them.
Its the age of the bully.

While not approving of his actions, children have limited rights, as parents are also accountable for their children's' actions. While a kid's privacy is important, if they've given cause to invade that privacy so the parent can do their duty in protecting their child, then that duty takes precedence (in my book) over the kid's right to privacy.
However, if there was no real reason to suspect she was doing anything improper with the phone, then there really isn't any justification for violating that privacy. He may have done irreparable damage to the relationship between himself and his daughter here. (as no doubt, that dad did who shot up his daughter's laptop)...not to mention the ignoramus is now out hundreds of dollars for a laptop that is now useless....

I have to ask this...Are you a parent?
I have been a parent for 37 years.When I was a child I swore
I would NEVER be like my parent's.Guess what happened?
I sounded just like my parents when I was dealing with my
own teenaged daughter.
I was not her friend and buddy old pal...I was her mom and I
had house rules that had to be obeyed.
