Q: Ex husband engages in inappropriate behavior during his parenting time
My ex husband has parenting time every other weekend. Our daughters are 13, 9 and 9.
Last weekend my daughter walked by his bedroom at 2 p.m. when all of the kids were in the house and heard voices. The door was closed, but she could clearly hear him engaging in an online chat coercing women to take their clothes off. She captured audio evidence on her phone of him saying “Just show me what I want to see and I’ll delete it.” They were hesitant it seems because then he said “It’s up to you guys. You’ll have to take my word (I’ll delete it).” What she didn’t get on audio was the first thing he said: “I’m not going to even ask you girls your age”.
My youngest two don’t know about it, but my oldest doesn’t want to go back to his place. And I’m worried for their well being.
What do I do?
