Find answers to your legal question.





What can i do if i found my daughter talkin to an older guy and i took her cell phone?

ok my daughter is 14 and im thinking the guy she is talking to is 21, i just took a cell phone away from her that i think he bought her and in it has text messages saying "i love you" and " i miss you" on it. she denies ever being with him and wont admit to it. she says they never have been together but i think she has. how far legally can i go with this? can i actually get him for child enticement even though she denies ever being with him? (we live in texas) thanks

His number must be on her phone. Call him up and have a talk. Explain to him that if he doesnt leave your daughter alone you will take legal action.

Of course she's going to lie to you --- it pisses me off because what in the hell does a 21 year old want with a child? I know the answer to this one. Call your local state attorneys office and ask them about the law -- they'll be happy to help you out I'm sure (I'm not in Texas) --- maybe we can have him castrated -- lol. Teenage girls are very very very hard to raise -- I was lucky and raised 2 boys who are now men -- thank goodness. THEY never went after underage girls though. Hang in there dad -- you'll have to be tough and hated for the next few years but you'll be loved again later...... :)

talk to her calmy, as hard as that might sound, you have to. you don't want to turn her against you. spend more time with her one on one. do something fun together. talk to her the pros and cons of being with this guy. and if that don't work beat his *** or have someone else do it for ya. gimme 500 and you have your man. j/k. goood luck.

I completely agree with what WhereRyou? said, but I would add that before you consider dragging the law into the matter you attempt to talk to the guy. Sometimes girls lie about their age, and while at 14 you may think she looks that young, she may look older to other people. You shouldn't make the guy suffer if he did not know her real age.

The best we you can do is to allow your daughter her explanation and of course you have to listen. Then it
is time for you to talk and to tell her frankly she is still too young to be involved to someone and her priority at this time is to complete her schooling before everything else. When
she grows older the right person will come naturally as expected.

You did the right thing. but you should give her a long talk and give it back in like a month or wahtever you tink is a reasonable amount of time

DUDE PUT THAT FOOL IN JAIL!! SICK! PERVERT!
no but you should ask her what those text mean and threaten her by saying if i find out that your lying you will not go on the computer or have a cell phone or drive till your 18!! and do it! serious! eventually she will come clean.
and text him back pretending to be her! and find out alot of info..and ask for pictures from him and say hey baby wanna meet me somewhere..and get him to say his age and all that stuff and say that there doing ''stuff''and take him to court!
cause thats just wrong!
hey! email me please! and tell me what you think about what i just said! jyagen916@sbcglobal.net!!!

You could get a restraining order put on him so he doesn't go near your daughter or contact her by phone.

Wow..... do you know who he is? I have a teenage daughter too.... I'd be really suspicious about what a 21yr old would want from a 14 yr old.... buying her a phone is totally crossing the line of what is appropriate... I would make her watch "To Catch A Preditor' http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10912603/ there are actually video clips in the right hand column... then I would go to the police with the cell phone... if he bought it and it's in his name, the service provider will have the billing information and the police can pay him a visit...maybe with a restraining order

Call the Police and charger him with Contributing to the Delquence of a minor.
He is strage 14 and he is 21
they arrest guys on T V for that.


Michelle
omg. i think shes dating him cus im dating this guy too, and my mom would kill me if she find out(im 13). If she ask me if i am dating him, i would say no.

If you can gather proof that he bought the phone it may be enough. Otherwise set up a meeting and handle it "mano y mano"!

omg...21 ? get em mom...hes a perv.

Yes, find out his name. Take the cell phone to the police station and file a report against him - naming him a child predator. The next time he calls or text messages your daughter, tell him that you filed a police report on him, and that if he ever attempts contact with your daughter again, you will call the police and have him arrested.


Mama Mia
I don't know what you can do legally, but I do know that I would call this guy and tell him that my daughter is 14 and that if he every calls or even thinks about her again that you will have him arrested for solicitation of a minor.


whereRyou?
Get to know your daughter.
Be a father, not a policeman.
Your daughter makes her own decisions. Help her have the confidence, love for herself and respect to make good ones.
She is learning how to be an adult. Help her do that, not by trying to police her, but by helping guide her and listening to her.

Allow her to solve her own issues and be there if she needs you.

If you go this ballistic without even knowing the facts, you are setting yourself up to be avoided, lied to, disrespected and the reason she runs off with some guy.

Be the warm, safe place to go--not the place she can't wait to escape from

You need to treat your daughter like you want to be treated.

I know you are scared and you want the best for her. I commend you for caring and trying to look out for her.

Consider a parenting teens class to help you do this more effectively. The way you are going will cause more problems than it solves.

I wish you and your daughter the best.

If he bought her a cell phone? Hell yes! Your daughter is too young to enter into a cell phone contract without an adult. Someone bought that service and that is traceable.
