A 42-year-old Elgin, Illinois mother, thus far unidentified, is being investigated for allegedly trying to reconcile her 13-year-old daughter with a former boyfriend by threatening to publish nude pictures of the boy on the Internet unless he contacted the girl.

The woman reportedly contacted the 13-year-old boy with phone calls, e-mails and thousands of text messages aimed at reuniting the young couple, all to no avail.

Supposedly when the woman’s efforts did not bear fruit, she allegedly resorted to the threats to publish the nudie pictures of her daughter’s ex-boyfriend on the Internet. Reportedly the boy sent the pictures to the girl’s cellphone when they were still a couple.

The woman could face charges of child pornography, intimidation and harassment as police have seized cameras, computers, cell phones and other items from the woman’s home and the private school where she is employed.

Reportedly the girl’s brother got into the act by threatening to go to the boy’s parents with the pictures unless the boy saw the girl twice a week.

Judging from the extremes to which this family allegedly goes to get a boyfriend for the girl, one has to wonder if she’s that homely or if Mom and brother are that “weird”…
