When Protecting My Child Meant Losing a Friendship

A few weeks ago, my 16-year-old daughter woke me up in tears at 2am. Her friend was at a party, scared and feeling unsafe—she’d been drinking, there were older boys around, and she couldn’t find a safe place to sleep. I’d just had surgery and couldn’t drive, and living in a rural area, taxis or rideshares weren’t an option. I tried calling her friend’s parents but couldn’t reach them, so I made the tough call to contact the police. They came, made sure everyone was safe, and shut down the party. No one was charged, but since then, my daughter’s friend has cut her off completely. It breaks my heart, but I still believe safety comes first. Would you have done the same? Have you ever had to make a hard call like this? I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments. #ParentingDecisions #TeenSafety #FamilyFirst #Parenting

🎯 What Senior Assassin Really Is—and Why Parents Should Be Paying Attention

High school seniors are playing a game called Senior Assassin—and while it might look like harmless fun, there are serious risks parents should know about. 😟 🚨 Here’s the deal: It’s a water-tag game where students “eliminate” targets with squirt guns Played in public places—often with ski masks and toy guns that look real Some bystanders and police have mistaken it for an actual threat Real incidents have already sparked police responses—including a teen shot last year when his toy was mistaken for a real gun. 😔 👂 Experts say: ✅ Talk to your teen—without judgment ✅ Set clear boundaries on what’s safe ✅ Share real-life stories to help them understand the risk ✅ Validate their feelings but prioritize safety This isn’t about ruining fun—it’s about keeping our kids safe while helping them think critically about the choices they make. 📣 Parents: Have you heard of this game? Would you let your teen play? #SeniorAssassinGame #TeenSafety #ParentingTeens #SchoolTraditions #WaterGunGame #RealTalkWithTeens #KeepKidsSafe #TeenRiskAwareness
