If the guy is more than two years older than her, you can turn him in for child abuse to your local child protective services. As her legal guardian, you can file a police report and a warrant in the event she has marks on her. A police report and pictures are also excellent to show a judge if you file a PFA or CHINS. (see below). You can file a PFA-protection from abuse-at your local court to make a restraining order against him and possible jail. If your daughter will not follow a restraining order I recommend filing a CHINS petition on your daughter as well. (Child In Need of Supervision) which will court order your daughter to safety. You will need to do this in the county you live in at your local family court. You must do this before she is 18. Please contact your local YWCA or domestic relations department with your local police for more NONVIOLENT intervention. Open up the phone book and look up domestic violence. You can call a shelter and ask to speak to a social worker about the situation that can help. Do something now before the situation gets worse if you can. Your daughter needs you right now even if her behavior shows otherwise. Good luck.
