The thing is...I am not. I am inserting it into a varchar field.
Are there any single quotes in the message body? They will wreak havoc with the rest of the query. And why are you putting single quotes around '$parent'?
What happens if you move the '$body' to the end:
$sql="insert into it_contact (email, to_email, subject,modify,parent,details) values(?,?,?,now(),$parent,'$body')";
