Q: In Pennsylvania can I do anything about my 38 year old bf trying to sleep with my 17 year old daughter?
I found messages between them and my daughter stated she didn’t want him like that but he keeps trying to pressure and manipulate her into it. I’m also in an emotional psychological abusive relationship and financially trapped and don’t know what to do to get out
A: Yes, get rid of the boyfriend! Search online for a support group for abused women in your area and see what they can do to help you. Perhaps what he's said is sufficient for filing for a Protection from Abuse Order. You may also want to take the messages to the police and see if there's anything they can suggest from a criminal standpoint. However, if all else fails and your only remaining option is to try to get into a shelter to protect your daughter, then that may be the choice you have to make.
