Hello, and thank you for posting your query.

Over exposure to the internet/movies at such a tender age is bound to result into something uncalled for. Although what your son has written could simply be an innocent and well meaning message to a friend, but its still a wake up call for you. Dont say anything to him just yet, as it is not that big a deal, as you're not sure of what he exactly meant by it, though kids these days are very smart. Plus at this age they might get rebellious too. You have to be extremely vigilant as this is a 'make or break' age for children. You can not just stop his mobile and facebook, but can limit the time he uses them for, and then too be very careful about what he views on the internet.

Hope this was helpful.
