I'm a non-custodial parent, w/ joint custody, living in a different state. I learned a few hours ago that my daughter's step-father has been abusing her. It began two years ago and my ex knew about it. My daughter (16) confided in a friend a month ago who steered her to the authorities. The step-father turned himself in and made bail all in the same night. The ex has been telling the kids to keep it quiet because she can't make it without his financial contribution, she had an argument with the kids about this as recently as 2 days ago. My daughter is currently with my mother a few miles away from my ex. I'm hundreds of miles away. What do I do right now? Relocating back to that area quickly is an option.
