I think 12 is just too young. Especially since Sarah looks older than 12, it's going to be harder on her. Lorraine, I agree with you -
"A 14 yr old boy must be getting something (or expect to) from a 12yr old girl or he would lose interest fast. Especially a long distance relationship."
Sarah has lied to you in the past, and I wouldn't believe what she says concerning this boy if I were you.
Maybe it's just the "idea" of having a boyfriend, being able to tell her friends that she has a boyfriend. But if she has already admitted to kissing him, in my opinion it's not just "the idea."
If she is going to continue to see this boy, I would be in the same room with her at all times. Don't trust other parents, or a group of kids.
