No it's not.
Inside a family everyone's phone/tablet/computer should be fair game to Mom/Dad. It just saves problems in the long run.

The girl may not take too kindly to that and your son may lose a friend, be labeled a snitch and ridiculed / ostracized socially by others. Might want to ask him if it is legit or is she all talk. And if he is ok with you approaching the parents for her safety and well being and out of concern. He will be the one who must face the fallout.

Ask him how much her onlyfans is a month.
His reaction should tell you what you need to know.
You need to explain to him that paying for sex is wrong...
Because so many of them are giving it up for free.

All of my son.’s friends have the tracer apps where parents can tell where they are...it’s funny when we go into my son’s room and there are three phones on his desk and no kids around.

yea, my buddy has a stepdaughter that age and they have stuff on there to monitor any and all apps that are loaded on the devices. The penalty of losing devices for a month seems to be working. I know there are still some ways around it or whatever, but thats just parenting in the digital world we are in

If you know the parents well enough then yes. If not I’m not sure how the conversation would go.
Something like “Hi, I’m Johnnys dad and he and Susie go to Trump High together. I was looking through Johnnys phone because we stay on top of parenting and couldn’t help but notice you’re raising a little tramp. Just thought you should know that she is texting boys about boning older dudes. “

Your son is trying to get laid and you are debating cock blocking him.
What a terrible parent.

My take is that you should stay out of the girl’s problems unless she is in real, verifiable danger.
But I would also have a conversation with your son about not being the sounding board for girls when they have problems with their boyfriends. Your son should value himself higher than that.

Talk to your son and fully vet the situation. After that conversation make a decision. It would take a lot for me to approach other parents about their children if it's not directly harming or influencing my child.
And these days sex, even for 14 year olds, is pretty low on the list of things to be overly concerned about. For the most part they're having it and there's not really much you can do about it. Educate and hope especially as it pertains to pregnancy.

Your son is friend zoned

Sorry about the gay son
Posted on 10/6/20 at 8:27 am to Rex Feral
If I knew her parents well, I would tell them. If I didn't know them, not sure I'd tell them.

You're missing the point here. Stop worrying about other people's kids and worry about yours. He is only a freshman and so deep into the friend zone that she is telling him about her sex life. You sir have failed your boy

Your son was getting advice from his classmate on how to have sex with older guys? Wtf dude

I’m sure there are plenty of 14-year-olds out there having sex, but frick (no pun intended) me not being overly concerned about it if it’s MY kid having the sex. And frick there’s not really much I can do about it. My kids aren’t quite there yet, but this can’t be the typical parent attitude towards sex that young.

Talk to your son
This is absolutely the right answer. Use it as an opening for having an honest conversation about sex. Do ask about the girl, but I can’t really see a realistic scenario where you need to talk to her parents about it unless y’all are very good friends. Nothing good can come from it, but some bad surely could. For both you and your son.
Looks like somebody beat me to it, but I was also gonna ask OP how long he’s known his son was gay.
