Mothers don't know because they don't want to know. I was involved with a good friend's kids because they needed it and she was a friend. I took the 13 year old on a camping trip and on the way he talked about "this video" the kids were grossing each other out with. "Two women and a cup." He wanted to know if he would have to do that with girls.

I didn't tell his mom any specifics, just that he was entering puberty and needed positive role models. A home schooling (but not super religious) mom, she responded by telling me I was not to have anything to do with her children! Not her child!

Fast forward, that kid got into cannabis concentrates, put her in a headlock on a public street to steal her car for drugs. Then she asked me to talk to him. Didn't work. The kid had become a delivery boy for drug dealers in the SF Bay Area. That got him into homes of the rich and famous.

He straightened out for a couple years and did well in college. Next time I talked to Mom she had to evict him and he was homeless and spychotic from drugs. She was the archetype of that velcro mom who makes perfect meals and has perfect kids and home schools.

A neighbor mom introduced the kid to cannabis concentrates when he was 14. Shortly after she cut me out of her kids lives because obviously I corrupt her kids.
