    Didn't the OPs daughter run to mum too?

    Maybe his mother didn't actually send the message ? Just because it's come from her Facebook page doesn't mean she typed or sent it. It was probably him.

    I'd just forget it and move on.

    I would focus your efforts teaching your daughter to spot the dodgy ones.

    If people knew how to do this, a lot more people would have a lot less problems!

    But the OP didn't then send an abusive text to the ex-BF - that's the difference.

    I'd block both from Facebook and both mobile numbers too. It's not acceptable, sadly too many male players about


    Superb generalisation there.


    I would make a note of these messages OP. As said, it might be that he has simply logged in to his mother's account thinking that your daughter would have blocked his already.


    If the abuse continues via any other form of social media then report him.


    She should certainly be ready for the same lies around campus, this bampot has a PR job to do now so might be worth getting ready for that and/or joining with the other girls to report him to college should it essentially become bullying or emotional abuse.


    Good luck!
    What if there was no such thing as a rhetorical question?

    There's a difference between having a good old whinge to your mum when you find out your bf is a lying cheat and getting your mum to send abusive messages on your behalf. A big difference.
  • It might be a good idea for her to change her privacy settings so that only people on her friends list can send her messages, to stop anything nasty being sent by the boyfriends clearly demented family.

    There's no evidence that he got her to send the messages in his behalf?

    I'm sure he is a little weasel, and ops daughter is best rid.

    The mother could've sent the message of her own back, or whatever.

    The point is, comments said- he ran to mum, so did the OPs daughter. They both had a whinge, one decided to send and abusive message, the other to post on here. ( shouldn't have sent the message clearly). But both ran to mum, so found those comments quite confusing.

    I still find that to be two seperate, but related, actions.

    Both kids ran to mum. Mums reacted differently.

    The comments were designed to make the ex-Bf seem immature ( probably is) but failed to recognise that the only reason for this posts very existence is that OPs daughter did the exact same thing.
