if my son was in that situation i would be very happy to know he is having some real and trustful friends which are taking care of him.
sometimes parents should not know all.
at least they sleep better that way.
lol
but ok you did it that way and i hope for you everything will be fine at the end.i think he needs some time yet to realize and analize the whole situation
