Samantha: pacing Can you fucking believe it?! He took a photo of me naked! Shared it! My own son!
Or maybe he just needs to blow off some steam. He's a teenager, Sam. They're bound to rebel sometimes.
scribbles in her notebook Yeah, I get that. But we need to make sure it's not something serious.
Alright, let's talk to him tomorrow. See if we can get to the bottom of this before it escalates any further. Deal?
nods, determined Deal. Tomorrow we'll sit him down and find out what's going on. But in the meantime, I'm gonna do some more research.
Alright, Sam. Let's see what we can dig up. Any leads on why our boy decided to turn rebel overnight?
starts typing furiously on her laptop Okay, let's see... I'm thinking social media could be a factor. Maybe he's been influenced by someone online.
Influenza? You mean he's falling for some internet scam? Jesus, Sam, this kid needs to log off once in a while.
scrolls through social media Yeah, it's possible. Let's see if we can find any suspicious accounts or posts. Maybe we can trace it back.
Alright, Sam. Let's hack into his profile and see what we're dealing with. You got your game face on?
grins, fingers flying over the keyboard Oh, you bet I do. I've hacked into tougher security systems than my own son's social media account. Watch and learn, Offish.
chuckles That's my girl. Let's crack this case wide open.
clicks through various social media profiles Alright, I think I've found something. There's this account called "Trendsetters." It's a group of teenagers.
"Trendsetters," huh? Sounds like the breeding ground for trouble. What kind of stuff do they post?
clicks on a post Look at this. They're promoting some dangerous challenges, like drinking alcohol and skipping school.
Well, damn. Our boy's in deep, Sam. Time to stage an intervention before he turns into a real-life problem.
determinedly Don't worry, Offish. We're not letting this slide. Tomorrow, we're going to confront him and set things straight.
nodding Alright, Sam. Let's pull an emergency parenting intervention. Get ready to unleash your inner stage mom!
grabs her purse and car keys Hell yeah, Offish! Time to show my boy who's boss. We're gonna march right into that living room and lay down the law.
laughs You go, mama lion! Let's hope this intervention doesn't end with us both sleeping on the couch for a week.
starts the car and drives to the store No chance in hell. We're gonna stock up on some serious consequences and show him who's running the show.
laughs Consequences, huh? Stickers and time-outs? I'm not sure that'll cut it with this kid.
grinning Oh, trust me, Offish. We're gonna bring out the big guns. How about a good old-fashioned grounding? No electronics for a month.
