There are a whole lot of issues going on here right now but I think what you are trying to say here is that you believe that your ex wife - who I am assuming has primary custody of your daughter - is not raising her with the standards that you believe are right and is possibly putting her in some form of "danger" as a minor. What you then need to do is to seek modification of the custody agreement to take control of the situation. Please, though, do not be naive. While this is not a comment on what is right or wrong or a moral judgement, understand that your daughter will indeed find a way to be intimate with her boyfriend if she chooses. But I do understand that if this is not how you wish to raise her permitting opportunity with out restriction is your judgement call. Get help. Good luck.
