The mom of that 16-year-old girl sat down with us to tell us how she learned of what was going on. She says she found a cell phone hidden under her daughter’s bed when she opened it up she couldn't believe what she saw. 

“I seen a text messages and I stopped when I seen his penis in the phone and I immediately went to the police station, she said. 

This mom wants to stay anonymous, she says her daughter is already getting harassed enough after it came out this week that a Pontiac High School custodian was allegedly sending the 16-year-old sexual text messages.

“I just I freaked out you know,” she said.  

Last Sunday she discovered a secret phone hidden under her daughter’s bed and in it a lengthy text conversation including nude photos of the man. 

She says she was able to piece together it was coming from a school custodian. 

“You can’t describe that feeling, because it’s crazy he’s a grown man he’s 30 my daughter is 16 years old,” she explained. 

Investigators with Oakland County Sheriff’s Office launched an investigation and on Wednesday the custodian was removed from the school and put on administrative leave.

“You knew right from wrong, whether its age of consent or not it’s up to the parent,” she said. 

The sexual nature of the conversation has this mom wondering if the relationship went beyond the phone. 

“I think there is more, I don’t know yet but for the last couple months she’s been a whole other person,” she said. 

She tells FOX 2 she wants this guy locked up but it is too soon to know if he will face charges. 

Let what happened here be a warning to other parents. 

“Question your kids every day they come home ask them what’s going on in the school ask them who’s saying what who’s doing what,” she said.
