Can my mom do anything to my boyfriend

Im 16 and im in college and my boyfriend is 22, we have been dating for 5 months and my mom has been aware of this and even met him, i dont have a good relationship with my mom and my mom often threatens to report my boyfriend if i dont agree to whatever she wants me to do.
My boyfriend has not done anything which could be used against him and our relationship has always been consensual and legal.
Can my mom report him for anything since he hasnt done anything?

As you say if your relationship has always been legal and consensual then no. If she had some sort of evidence of something illegal (like drugs or stealing) he was doing then yeah but if that's not true/she doesn't have any evidence then of course not. Tell her to stop trying to black mail you and manipulate you - she could be held accountable for that. If she continues then I would try to reduce contact with her if possible, at least until she improves, that sort of threat/black mail can't be good for your happiness and mental health :redface:

consensual*

I think it is fine. Just checked the legalities.

not my place to judge, but just make sure you don't have sex or share lewd images.


The OP is above the age of consent.

OP is 16 so it is legal to have sex. Although weirdly I think the age for sharing sexual images is 18, so I agree, don't send those.

What does she threaten to report him for?

She hasnt specified anything, but she wants me to do whatever she says and she knows i care about him deeply thats why i would do anything because i dont want him to get in trouble when he hasnt done anything and is innocent
She’s bluffing (and nasty)
