[quote=Anonymous]Oh, this hits close to home.

You've done all you can, sadly. They are the parents and it's up to them how they respond to this information.

My step FIL was convicted of molesting his own daughter in the late 80s. He spent one year in prison for that and unpaid child support in the late 90s.

We never allow him to be alone with our children and we stay in a hotel when we visit. We keep the visits short. I even watch the door close behind my kids when they go to the bathroom. It's exhausting but FIL has learned to stay away from our kids. I also talk to my kids about what inappropriate contact (physical and otherwise) is and to tell me right away if any adult does or says or shows those things to them. I let them know it's illegal. They are both teens now and that has been enough. Luckily, they live on the opposite side of the country.

It helps that we have boys and his history is with molesting little girls only, but I say nothing to my BIL and SIL, who have lived with him and my MIL on and off with their two daughters for years. They know, and those are their kids. I can't control what they do.[/quote]
