[Toy Soldier]

I do actually agree with Kizzy though - this stuff doesn't spring up over night and whilst I believe that the parents were indeed "bewildered" and had no idea what he had been up to online... that is part of the problem. They weren't paying attention.

I understand the argument that he's 18 and thus likely to have his own life that they can't know the ins and outs of, but I would be VERY surprised if this hasn't been brewing unnoticed since his early teens.
