My 15 year old daughter has met a 30 year old man and is becoming attached. This man approached my daugher in the street, not having known her before, and proceeded to befriend her. My daughter is now saying she is leaving home in 7 weeks when she becomes 16 to live with him. This man lives with his parents, has been convicted for drug dealing and theft, and is a chronic alcoholic. I know sexual relations have taken place. This low life peace of scum has groomed my daughter and is succeeding.
Informed police but they are playing it softly as they don't want to scare my daughter and make her run.
I'm at my whits end.
I have ideas on what I would like to do but I would end up in prison myself!
Going to the police is the best option, along with social services too, though I'm sure the police would have informed them.
I guess it's time to keep calm and allow the police to do what they need too.

When you say the Police have been playing it softly, what have they done/said advised at this stage? I would be really concerned too. I have a 15 yr old daughter & would be fighting all I could, like you are, to protect her & asking for help from the police/social services to do this too. Have you been able to talk to your daughter about your concerns for her? The fact that she's under 16yrs means the police should be able to take legal action if you believe he may had had [censored] with her, it would be worth asking the police what powers you have.
When the police wee contacted about it last Saturday, the police officer stated that they are classing her as a vulnerable case and didn't want to wade in. Good chance she would do a runner. The police woman dealing with was meeting with my daughter at school, though my daughter wasn't pre warned.
Unfortumately I work away so I don't know how things have gone today, I should be finding out in half an hour or so.
Bearing in mind the story on the news about the 15 year old who went to France with her teacher I think the police may have a point.
Hope it all gets sorted soon
