A:
If your ex-partner's mother has reported your online communications to the police, it's important to stay calm and understand your rights. First, if you haven't done anything wrong or engaged in illegal activities in your communications, then there may be no basis for legal action against you. However, it's essential to be cautious and take the situation seriously.
Since you are both minors and living in different states, there are complexities involved, particularly around laws governing digital communication and minors. If contacted by the police or any legal authority, it's important not to discuss the matter until you have legal representation. As a minor, you should inform your parents or guardians about the situation immediately.
If there is any further development, such as being contacted by the police, you and your parents or guardians should consider consulting with an attorney. An attorney can help you understand the situation, your rights, and the appropriate course of action.
Remember, it's crucial to be aware of the laws and regulations surrounding digital communications, especially involving minors. Always engage in online interactions responsibly and be mindful of the content of your conversations.
