My daughters dad was caught by pedofile hunters.

Shes 6


The messages and images he sent of himself were not appropriate to be sent to a 13 year old.
has anyone been through this and can I stop contact if he takes me to court any help would be appreciated.

to safeguard my daughter I have stoppped contact

Having it all on social media was really hard and to know that this will happen again when he's charged is daunting

So sorry you are dealing with all this, I can't imagine how awful having it all over Facebook was.

My children are older (14&12. 13&11 when he was arrested) social services called me but as we had already been separated 8 years and I advised they wouldn't be going near him without me being present, they closed any file on us straight away.

We did supervised contact (in a restaurant normally) once a fortnight from June until October. He then was charged and pleaded guilty at the end of October and after that my kids decided they wanted no contact at all. They haven't seen or spoken to him since mid October. He hasn't done anything formally to have contact and is currently accepting their choice however I would go all the way if he decided to pursue access in court! His OIC told me to trust my gut and that is what I am doing.

Sorry for not being overly helpful, I hope you and your daughter are doing ok x

Thanks for getting back to me.



They were like that with me saying that I was safeguarding her.

shes doing really well as he was never consistent and it's probably made her life more stable having no contact.

i think it's a long process and if he's going to take me to court it will probably be when he's charged

We are doing well thank you, my son definitely seems happier without contact his dad is a very controlling person so he can finally just be himself now.

My daughter is ok, she wants contact but only if her brother does but completely understands why he doesn't do life is pretty quiet for us from this perspective right now :)



Other battles to contend with but we will get there!



Kids are so resilient they are amazing x
