(20,176 posts)It's easier to direct you to resources if I know where those resources should be located.
Just a town...or a county if you don't want to be specific or a region of a state or a state. (In declining order of preference)
There are resources for these kinds of concerns.
Also I'd suggest that they call the school the child attends, for a number of reasons:
*If this is the offender and he's grooming their child, she's probably not the only one he's targeting. Schools are really good at coordinating responses to threats of child endangerment.
*Because it alerts the school to keep an eye out for the individual in question on or near school ground and/or in proximity to the child in question; if they're a known sex-offender, it's almost-certainly a parole violation.
*Because they definitely know what resources and referrals are available in the area.
*If they do nothing other than bring the exact same concern to local law enforcement, it will be probably taken more seriously being reported by the school.
