Only receiving some texts

When I text my teenage son, he says he only receives some of my texts. Is it possible that someone is accessing his phone and deleting some texts from a master family account or some other way?

Are these SMS messages (green) or iMessage (blue)? If they are iMessage and someone has his Apple ID and passcode, they could, in theory, delete his messages from another device. He should be sure he's not sharing an Apple ID with anyone and should change his password.

There is, of course, a simpler explanation. He is getting the messages and deleting them himself in order to pretend he "didn't hear you".
