So, I have previously posted about my teenage grandson being smitten by a girl. What happened next was unexpected.
The girl's mother reported my grandson to their teacher; hence, my grandson and the girl, plus both mothers, were required to report to school.
The dialogue ended with the girl's mother deciding to transfer her daughter to another school. They were also 'commanded' to block each other online.
I was observing my grandson, and he seemed okay. I hope they're not planning some secret rendezvous.

Whoa, that got out of hand so fast! From a cute teenage crush to a forced digital breakup and school-level intervention? That right there is some drama from real life.
It's good that your grandson appears to be doing well, but teens and covert plans are like peanut butter and jelly. Perhaps you should be on the lookout—not in a strict sense, but with mild curiosity. Keeping the lines of trust open can sometimes work better than enacting legislation.
Nevertheless, I hope this chapter ends quietly. At the very least, without any covert meetings!

@Jenaisle Yes, that is why you must earn his trust before you can learn what he is up to. Too much strictness can constrict and force them to go underground, where you have no control over the situation. Perhaps be his grandmother, on whom he can rely, and let his mother act as the police.

I'd be surprised if the two teens aren't planning on seeing each other, especially as her mother is set against that.
I don't understand what your grandson did that got him reported to a teacher, though. It isn't the business of the teacher or the school who a kid falls in love with, unless something inappropriate is happening at the school. The girl's mother was out of line and your grandson's mother should have said as much.

Good observation. I was surprised too. The girl's mother got the school involved. She said that my grandson was bothering her daughter and that all she wanted was for her to focus on her studies. I instructed my DIL to inform the girl's mom that the girl was the one coming to the house, hence making it impossible for my grandson to avoid her, even if he wanted to. This means they have mutual feelings for each other.

@Jenaisle Some people make too much of tiny problems, in my opinion.
I agree, if the girl wasn't interested, she wouldn't be coming to your home.

I wonder why. Were the girl and boy too involved?

What a load of nonsense
Is the girls mother going to transfer her daughter to another school every time a boy goes near her
Block each other online, hahaha.
Honestly, wow, really!!!!?!
I told you he wouldn't marry her, a lucky escape.
Actually it's pathetic, over dramatic nonsense

@Ineeddentures She's overreacting, anyway, I like it that way.

The mother sounds a bit out of touch with reality to be honest

This is the age when children need the right advice. They tend to do things they are not mature enough for.
