Best advice yet. We lived in a large city, yet I recall a couple of spur of the moment road trips with my teens. Change of scenery works wonders.

Why is your son fighting over this girl? From the way you describe, she seems worthless to fight over. 19 in 9th grade, plays stupid high school games as a legal adult, etc? Sorry but this girl seems worthless IMO. Just being honest.

Also, I realize that there are fully grown up people who still play childish high school games. As the old saying goes, some people never grow up.
To CarolatMO, to avoid being a rebound:
-If a girl asks her out, tell your son to ask around and find out if she just broke up with her boy friend. His best friends will probably have the scoop, especially if its a small town.
-Tell him to NEVER go out with a girl who just broke up with her previous boyfriend.
-If your son declines a rebounds relationship request, then the rebound is pretty much forced to go to another guy as her rebound or forget the ex.

I survived... now all of them grown n married,,, but those little girls ( 14-17) whewww

While I would be upset about the inappropriate texts, I would also be very careful. If the girl has developmental delays, (which is possible considering her age and need to still be in high school) I think it is possible that this could open another can of worms. JMHO.
Yep. As a mom of a child who is actually in special ed, I think being held back six times sounds beyond bogus, but assuming it's true, the 15-year-old will have to deal with 1) speculation about her ability to consent and 2) the fact that he received sexts as well. He may have deleted them but phone records are forever, and all she has to do is bring them up. Does the OP really want an investigation into how many she sent, how often it happened, how long he kept them, and whether he encouraged them or sent them to anyone? I doubt it.

Most teenagers these days DON'T have anything better or more important to do, especially during the summertime... or at least so they feel. That's why they constantly have their eyes glued to some screen.
