Should I say something to the father?

To quickly summarize my question.
The daughter of a family friend goes to one school. Her older brother goes to another. The reason the daughter goes to a different school is because she is very naive and easily influenced. This school is a safer fit for her.
Well her brother plays football and a lot of those guys tend to hang out at their house. Which is no issue. All of them do track as well, including the daughter. Well this Friday I was at the meet and I noticed the boys were a little too friendly with her when the brother was not around. This prompted me to call her over to me and make her go sit at her teams camp.
Of course she whined and said my brother goes to that school. I told her I didn't care, blah blah. What was really weird is that one of the boys later walked up to me like he was sizing me up, started a one minute random conversation and walked off.
Most girls know about boys their age and seek that attention. This girl is very naive and mentally immature for age, however she is quite physical developed, a very dangerous combination.
I feel like I should tell the dad but I don't want to over step my boundaries. If it was my daughter I would want to know, but every man is not the same. I think he would want to be made aware.
Should I say something or not?

Yes, you should speak up, then her family can decide if there is an issue and deal with it.

I'm no dad at 26 years old, so I'll just hang up and listen

What the matter with you?

I say tell the dad...at least he will be aware even if he does nothing. I would appreciate the heads up.

So boys and girls were talking to each other, and you want to tell her dad?
Posted on 3/30/14 at 9:58 am to bigpetedatiga
Jesus I hope I don't have a daughter

You are acting like a damn fool over young boys talking to a young girl.
ETA:
You sound creepy, and I would kick your arse if I found you near my daughter.

Either you are intentionally being a dumbass or your youth must have been very fricking lonely.

I think we need more details on what this friendliness consisted of

What is your relationship with this young lady?
Posted on 3/30/14 at 10:01 am to bigpetedatiga
It sounds like the father is a close friend of yours. I would lean towards mentioning something, but I don't even know what kind of solution there is to the situation. Maybe he just needs to have some kind of non threatening conversation with the girl. If he is actually a close friend then I would probably say something.

If you're a good friend to the family this shouldn't even be a question.
I have a daughter myself(only 4) and have a couple friends who I've been friends with for years and I'm just as protective of their daughters as I am my own.

To me, it would greatly depend on your relationship with the parents and how open they've been with you regarding their concerns about her maturity.
If they're good friends and you've discussed it before, you could certainly tell them that what you saw made you uncomfortable.
But in the end, it's their job to parent their kid.

Whatever. How old are the kids? High school? If so, I'd let them be. What is your concern?
Posted on 3/30/14 at 10:02 am to bigpetedatiga
Nobody needs to think I would step in over simple chit chat.
