re: Should I say something to the father?

Some really bizarre, immature comments in this thread. Some of you either aren't grown men or have no idea about what constitutes friendship.
When men are friends they look out for each other and perhaps even each other's families should they happen to be that close.
If you have a friend like that and you value loyalty, trust and honesty; you have no alternative but to talk to the dad.
If you saw your buddy's daughter being groped, touched, grabbed, etc., you have got to do something. Either personally intervene of talk to the parents. It is in no way okay to watch a friend's daughter be taken advantage of and even if it's of her free will you stop it. It's the equivalent of allowing a friends child to do drugs, lie, cheat, steal, have sex at your house, etc.
Adults shouldn't be complicent in the bad behavior of children. Adults , especially friends, prevent bad outcomes whether the child sees it that way or not.
Lot of dumb in this thread. Hopefully, it's just ignorance from not having kids, but even that isnt an excuse. If you're an adult , you should know better than to be okay with shite like that.

If it concerns you enough to notice something, then say something.
Don't say "Your daughter is immature and naive" say "I saw the boys getting very close when you and your son weren't around".
Nobody would be upset if you said that. Then drop it.

It is quite possible she isn't being taken advantage of, and is just a ho who likes the attention.

Maybe that will be your daughter one day : )
Ignorance is bliss, so maybe you won't have any real friends who give a shite.
Maybe they'll even laugh behind your back knowing what a ho your little girl is...hahahaha
Kids need parenting and guidance and people who give a shite about what is going on. Friends look out for friends.

I don't see how you can have that opinion without information regarding the girl's age.

Precisely the reason I hope I never have a daughter
However, in my opinion sheltering your daughter is no way to be a parent.
The biggest ho's I knew in college were the ones who were on lockdown in HS by their parents
I do agree it's a tricky situation, probably best for OP to just use his best judgement (imagine that)

Unless she's 18 and out of high school , my opinion is the same.
I don't view high school kids as adults.

There is your answer.

In no way am I talkin about sheltering kids.
I agree that sheltering is bad, but looking the other way on bad behavior is not the equivalent of not sheltering.
Being aware of what's happening in your child's world outside of the house is a good thing and communicating with your child is important in helping them navigate a potentially treacherous world.

The name calling is uncalled for, but what constitutes friendship is keeping my nose out of my friends family business & vice versa.
If she was simply talking or flirting with her peers that is not some creepy older guys business.
That this girl was moved because she was 'taken advantage of' by other students sounds like 'Junior is a good boy he just got into the wrong crowd'. Junior was probably the ringleader of the crowd & who knows what that even means that the daughter was 'taken advantage of'. She may have been the ringleader of the group that so called 'took advantage' of her.
Maybe if she were a young HS girl(15/16) at a College Track meet flirting with College age boys it would slightly raise my eyebrow , but with her peers it's no one's business.
Even if were College boys I would barely acknowledge it(slyly) in a conversation to the parents.

That's an unfortunate definition of friendship , but of course, you're entitled to it.
We'll agree to disagree.

There's a middle ground between putting a kid on lockdown and just looking the other way. My parents never put my sister or me on lockdown. They talked to us and let us make our own mistakes when possible. We ended up respecting their opinions a lot more because of it.

I don't feel compelled to tell every friend I have that their daughter in high school flirts. If you do, you need to reevaluate your life.

Okay.

The parents already put this girl in some special school because of this behavior so it sounds like they've taken the lockdown approach.
Sounds like they don't even respect her enough to arm her with the knowledge she needs and at least give the illusion that they expect her to make the correct decisions. Seems like they're saying we know you're gonna mess up so we're going to try our hardest so that you don't even find yourself in those situations. I fail to see how this is going to foster good decision making.

When it comes to a friends daughter who he considers a daughter...it most certainly fricking is.

Well, she was at this event without her parents, so doesn't appear to be a lockdown.

You fricked your friends wife? You're sounding less and less like a friend the more this thread goes on.
