Rosemary went ballistic when she discovered that her 15-year-old daughter, Lucy, had been sending sexually explicit text messages and nude photos of herself to some boy. Rosemary took away Lucy’s smartphone and grounded her.
“Lucy, you used to read books. There’s a little free library between these buildings. You should get a book there to read,” Rosemary suggested.
Rosemary was delighted that Lucy embraced reading again. But one day when Lucy was at school, Rosemary was straightening Lucy’s room. Inside a book that Lucy was “reading,” was a sheet of paper with handwritten erotic notes between Lucy and that boy.

Some books are “naughty,” too…especially in the hands of school kids.

“… some boy.” I wonder if this is an assumption. Is it some stranger from far away (or locally who has been working to gain trust and attachment) who has now arrived locally? Lucy writing erotically is almost the least of the concerns.
