son sneaking out of house at night

My 14 y.o. son snuck out of the house last night at 11pm to skate over to his Aunt's house to say goodbye to our visiting brother (my son's uncle). This scares me, because if he's willing to sneak out for something like this, what is he willing to do if a girl wants him to sneak out or if there are drugs or alcohol involved?
My question is, what discipline should we give?? Usually, we're pretty strict, but we don't want the punishment to be overly harsh for this 'crime'. Any suggestions?

Re: son sneaking out of house at night

Be glad he's willing to sneak out for a girl and not for a boy, and leave it at that

oh, a box of condoms won't hurt. no, really, it would help.

either it will embarrest him too much that he won't have sex or at least he's not spreading around any little basterds

Gee, um, thanks, but not really the response I was looking for.

That's horrible advice, you should just keep a close eye on him, maybe put a lock on the window. Maybe even lengthen his curfew abit longer so he doesnt need to sneek out. And if your worried about sex rather than give him condoms, just talk about it to him...ALOT!
