That is a possibility. When Rodney switched parties his staff were not pleased and thought it a betrayal.
That being said I think there might be a more innocent explaination. When the kid got the email he might have forwarded it to some friends and say"look at this" I suspect he didnt have any malcious intent but you know 16 and sort of naive.
If I know 16-year-old boys, not one of them wants to spread the idea that he was the object of affection of a creepy old gay guy, unless he's gay himself. The actions of the parents seem to indicate that the page didn't want this attention at all.
The boy forwarded the email to a staffer friend in Alexander's office with the comment that perhaps he was being paranoid, but that the email freaked him out and he considered the email/Foley "sick ... sick ... sick."
