Did Dad Go Too Far to Protect His Daughter? | Part 2

[@Yumi_Jay]

A so called friend of my mom's abused my sister one time and my mom took immediate action to make sure he didn't come close to me or my sister again. Police did nothing about the dude and he has a wife and kids. This was 20 years ago.

The only logical explanation I could see is if the father somehow coached the 8 yr old to tell the school that....but seeing as the mother outright said that man doesn't come around anymore, that's clearly not the case.

This mother baffles me, if it was resolved that quickly they obviously found reason to believe it was true and said the guy had to go or the kids would be kept from her so she chucked him whether he was a boyfriend, friend with benefits or whatever. If it didn't happen, social services would still be involved trying to find out why this 8 year old reported to her school she was being abused...either way the dad had every right to keep their 2 year old until he was comfortable everything was fine
