14-year-old granddaughter encouraged to 'chug' beer by stepdad, family worried
Grandparents say the girl's stepfather is encouraging their 14-year-old granddaughter to chug beer at parties held at the family home; her biological father fears confronting the mother will cost him further access to their daughter.
DEAR ABBY: My husband and I have recently found out that our 14-year-old granddaughter, a freshman in high school, is being encouraged to drink, or more accurately, “chug,” beer out of cans with her stepdad at parties and social gatherings he has been having at their house.
Our son, the girl’s biological father, is very concerned about this illegal activity, as are we, but he is fearful if he confronts the mother and stepdad and tells them what they’re doing must stop immediately, his ex will withhold his daughter from him even more than she already does.
