Dear Abby: Young Teen's Stepdad Is Pushing Her Along the Wrong Path

The grandparents say the girl’s stepdad is urging her to drink beer at home, raising concerns about possible child abuse and delinquency charges.

  • Grandparents recently discovered that their 14-year-old granddaughter is being encouraged to "chug" beer out of cans at social gatherings hosted by her stepfather at their home.
  • The girl's biological father fears confronting her mother about this illegal activity, worrying she will withhold visitation rights further; no court order governs custody or visitation between the parents.
  • Contributing to the delinquency of a minor is against the law and could possibly be considered child abuse, establishing serious legal consequences for the stepfather's conduct.
  • Your son may consider seeking full or partial custody and consulting an attorney specializing in family law to secure guaranteed visitation rights and prevent further restrictions.
  • If the situation continues, local authorities, child protective services, law enforcement, and school counselors should be notified to ensure the child's safety and prevent ongoing harm.
