We can all agree: Two 18-year-olds having a “movie night” before one leaves for college sounds absolutely implausible and one mum in the US wasn’t about to fall for it.
Heather Steinkopf, mother to 18-year-old Kaelyn Demmon from Ohio, is one savvy investigator.
Kaelyn and her best friend Stevie, 18, were having – actually having – a movie night before Stevie left town for college the next day, Buzzfeed reports.
But – as any mother and former teenager will know – having a “movie night” is so often code for something else entirely. Having a house party. Drinking too much. Playing Spin the Bottle and secretly hating it. Lighting bonfires. Doing something incredible stupid.
This mum challenged the school principal to take her 13 year old shopping. Post continues below.
Heather wasn’t falling for it. Not this time.
“Where are you? Before you lie where is your car?” she text messaged her daughter.
What followed was a series of tactical messages – cleverly delivered – to ensure Kaelyn and Stevie were where they said they were going to be, and unable to rely on a false alibi.
