    I’m also extremely worried about the boyfriend. I think this treatment amounts to child abuse, and she seems unable to control her anger, so she may turn violent.

    I’m not sure what I should do. Should I go round and try to talk to the parents? Should I try to see the boyfriend? Should we report it to Social Services? I’m worried that if we try something like that it might make the situation worse.
    I was with you til this point.

    Unless you have evidence of actual abuse (which I do not think grounding, deleting facebook account, taking phone off him is), then you're going a bit far suggesting this.

      I presume you have taken steps to ensure you aren't about to become a grandparent?
      That's not the case. I'm 100% certain.

          I've got two kids with my partner and her dad is still convinced she's a virgin.

            I think it's unlikely you know everything the kids get up to.

            If, for example, his parents had grounded him for shoplifting or taking drugs, would your daughter tell you the whole truth?

                Stay out of it and accept that crying daughters are a rite of teenage passage, his mum probaly want the son to focus on his studies rather than becoming involved

                Any parent smart enough to keep their kids off Facebook should be saluted

                  There's a bit in this leaflet about emotional abuse, which is what I'm referring to. It's not always just about physical abuse.

                    It turns out that the boyfriend’s mother has confiscated his phone, deleted his Facebook account, banned him from using the internet at all, and basically placed him under “house arrest” until September. He is not allowed to see my daughter, nor any of his friends, and is only allowed out of the house to attend his remaining GCSEs.
                    Hmmm sounds like he's been caught doing something very bad (or bragging about it on facebook),

                    Or his mother is a religious nut.
