My stepdaughter is 13yrs old, lives with her grandmother in the south (she has custody) and stays with us in MI during the summer and through the winter holidays. My husband pays child support, over $400 a month, and recently she told us that there is about 16 people living in the same house (including her real mother and her 4 siblings). None of those people, other than her grandma, pay the bills and she told me that she is sleeping in a laundry room full of dirty, pissy clothes and a curtain for a door. Aside from the fact that she is doing bad in school, has no life skills like doing laundry or dishes, and every time she comes with us she has bad lice or brings fleas with her. My biggest concern is that my stepdaughter recently told her cousin that there is a 19yr old man that hangs around with her and (even though she sometimes lies to look cool) that this Man has her do "stuff" to him. What exactly doesn't matter, just the fact that she is allowed to hang out with a grown man, alone, at 13 years old is NOT okay. I haven't told my husband, he likes to be nieve to the things that go on there and for some reason he is afraid. Probably because his baby momma was sleeping around on him when she got pregnant and there may be some questions about paternity. I'm not sure what to do. What if my husband won't take action? What can I do legally as a Stepmom? We also have 2 little ones together and I feel like we're paying for her whole family instead of just her. I'm afraid she's going to be raped or end up pregnant at 13yrs old. Has anyone else delt with this before? Please help I can't ignore what is going on there. via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2tcwlXC
