My Teenage Daughter Went to Her Friend’s for a Sleepover— I Felt Like I Should Involve the Police

My 13-year-old daughter, Rosa, called me late at night during a sleepover, shaken because she noticed two “security cameras” in her friend’s room. The friend’s dad claimed they were off, but the indicator lights were glowing. Rosa covered them with towels, and minutes later, the father came in, removed the towels, and calmly asked her not to do it again. Feeling uneasy, Rosa called me to pick her up.

I later spoke to the dad, who explained the cameras had been there for years for security since the room is above the garage. He apologized and clarified they were aimed outside, not at the room. While I believe his explanation, Rosa is adamant about never attending another sleepover and feels unsafe.

I’m proud of her for recognizing her discomfort and acting on it but don’t want this to leave her traumatized. How should I proceed?

Sincerely,
Rosa’s Mom

My son’s only three. Out of nowhere, he started crying EVERY SINGLE TIME I took him to daycare. This had NEVER happened before. At first, I thought it was just a typical 3-year-old crisis, but something felt off. Johnny was crying, and he kept begging me not to take him. I promised him I’d pick him up early – luckily, I left work early and showed up at the daycare just in time for lunch. Parents aren’t usually allowed to go there, but I snuck in. And then I finally saw THE REASON my little boy had been crying! Gosh, I was absolutely LIVID and horrified!
