New Story from Deb Williams

CAUGHT IN THE ACT: phone sex

Troy’s 13. He’s home after school for an hour before I’m home from work . It's always been an important time for him. When he was smaller it meant he got this special one on one time with granny, and now that he feels old enough to be alone he usually finishes his home work so we have time to be together when I get home.
The other day I arrived home to a substantially larger phone bill than I’m use to. I discovered 50 dollars worth of phone charges ... calls made to a certain 1 900 number during that "special" time. After a long prying and wrenching discussion I managed to dislodge his confession. He’s been spending a fair bit of time on his new...hobby.
I’m staying calm. He’s not a degenerate he just doesn’t understand. We've worked out a repayment schedule and had thorough discussions about the sex trade and it's inevitable route to despair,destruction and death . I’ve enrolled him in afternoon piano, gymnastics, and hockey, and things have been running really smoothly. We’ve had a few hurdles, to overcome, like the stress of overlapping activities, a fractured arm in soccer ....and this month’s 300 dollar phone bill.
