My co-worker's 12 year old son is dating my 16 year old daughter. I need alot of help. I don't know what to do.

I explained to my 16 year old daughter, Kristin, that my co-worker's 12 year old son, Connor, is too young for her to date, but she won't listen. And this is my co-worker's son I'm talking about. "She loves him like her little brother" she says. I understand that she has compassion for him, but to take it too far is just worrying me. They went out one night and I didn't know about it until later from my co-worker (Connor's mom). Kristin lied to me that she was going out with her "friends". That was when I put the pieces together and found out that they're in a relationship. This is really unacceptible and I think she should be dating someone her own age, and I'm afraid that the boy might give her STD if they take it to a physical level. I'm afraid this may affect my job and my co-worker's. I knew her for a very long time and as a mother, I don't want to loose my daughter to her when she goes past her limits and thinks she can do whatever she wants.

    Real simple- step up, be a real parent and put a stop to it.

    No doubt! I was thinking the same. Sad state of affairs when a 16 yr old is running the show.

    Screw the job, forget about the coworker, and put a stop to it. By the way, I'd be more concerned about your daughter teaching him about sex than the otherway around. She sounds like a sexual predator.

    Ground her until she is 18. This is one ****** up situation and you should take control.


    I bet people would be concerned if it was a 16 yo boy having sex with a 12 yo girl.

    What the hell does a 16 year old have in common with a 12 year old? Age is just a number in my house..i pay the bills..the mortgage..food..and my kids don't call the shots on me. Im old school and I don't play. Too many damn ***** assed parents wandering around worrying about damaging their kid's psychological state. You start discipline from the moment they come home you bring them home from the hospital..not when they're older.

    YOU need to chill out !
    First of all, to say that a 12 year old is going to give your 16 year old daughter an STD that is really horrible on YOUR part !

    Who do you think this 12 year old is? The re-encarnation of John Holmes?

    If you are that worried about it then be a smart parent, and realize that you cannot stop them, so give them condoms and tell them to use them if they are going to have sex. Maybe even get your daughter to the OB/GYN for the Pill.

    He may be 12 and hopefully he hasn't got a sexual history yet but YOU don't know. The poster doesn't know for sure.

    I know people that at age 12 got preyed upon by 16 year old girls. It happens, and it is just as disgusting as a boy at 16 preying on a little girl. And then these 12 year olds have no concept of what is right and wrong in terms of having proper sexual relations with age appropriate peers while their body is growing and changing, and then they end up abusing other children. The 16 year old needs to be stopped before she messes up more lives with her sexual perversions. If I was your coworker (not Connor's parent) and overheard this crap, I would call the authorities on you both.

    Sounds like this girl is really just hanging out with her friend when she says she is, it just happens to be this boy. I'm sure your daughter is aware that dating a boy at her age who is so much younger would be pointless and they wouldn't be able to do things in grup situations. Which is no fun. Im sure your daughter is smart and you just need to calm down

    Good point. I wonder if it occurred to him that the daughter might be joking with him just to see how he would react. Teenagers can be pretty sarcastic and cheeky with their parents. She might know he'd likely flip out and she's having a good laugh at his expense.

    Once she turns 18 and if she does become pregnant with his child, she may go to jail/prison for statutory rape.

    I would say to the mother that she tells her daughter to find someone else around her age.

    Put a stop to it. Change jobs if it helps. Your daughter could also transmit an STD. But she'd be the one in court.

    You probably need to find out specfics. Are they having sex or hanging out privately such that they could? Make them stay public or ground her. If she does not agree and follow thru start taking away phone, car, priveleges.

    Your 16 year old daughter is not a child anymore. You cannot tell her that she can't date him because she will anyway--that's if they truly are dating. All you can do is put her on birth control if you fear they are having a sexual relationship.

    Disagree. At 16 years old, she is still a minor living under her mothers roof, so ya, her mother has every right to tell her who not to date!! Did you not read the question? Shes dating a 12 year old for f**ks sake- whats wrong with that picture?? If anything, the 12 year old is in more danger! Is he not a child as well?

    That is kind of odd, but I don't think it's enough to be "too" concerned.. I highly doubt she's actually dating the little dude, more like hanging out.
