http://www.huffingtonpost.com/kasey-ferris/my-son-does-not-need-to-b_b_8338402.html I've had this happen before (though not in around 25 years since I've been married). I even got threatened by a father when I picked up his daughter for a prom. The threats were usually simple and short. Things like "If you even think about violating my little girl...." or "Bring her back safe or you'll be dealing with me". Fine, I came to expect it since guys are such a despised species anyway. And I knew fully well that I was going to use every move I had, so it was just part of the process. Besides, my date would be so apologetic after her parental hostility and humiliation that having sex was often a no-brainer by the end of the evening. I wonder how many of those old assholes realized that all they did was help my side of the case? The last time I was threatened it was by my wife's mother, a nasty old crone from Louisiana who came right off with "If you hurt my daughter, I'll kill you". Two hours later we were sipping wine in a hot tub, very naked and happy. We dated for a year and during that time I bought her a car so she could drive over to my place whenever she wanted (and so her parents wouldn't think I was a bum). I also added a second phone line and voicemail which we then had one of her friends record a greeting. After that her mother only knew that when she was staying over the weekend with Lydia, I was surely out of the picture. It was about 7 years into our marriage that my wife told her Mom all about it. Maybe that's why the old bag put a curse on me (she's into that sort of crap, it's like a Cajun version of Bewitched. My mother in law really IS a witch). Now that I have a daughter I realize the fears that parents have on this issue. But I know my daughter pretty well and I have to accept reality. However, if one of these guys ever rapes or hurts her, I'll be waiting when they finally get out of jail. I don't feel a need to tell them this or I wouldn't let her leave with them in the first place. None of these high school dorks knows how much Tae Kwon Do she's had or how fast she can run. I also think that cell phones have changed this dynamic as well.
They dont really care about the daughter though, they just dont want to be stuck looking after a grandkid whilst she's still trying to finish high school or college. Same kind of parents will try sell her of to the highest bidder later on, or at least push her in the direction of the guy with the highest earning potential regardless of how much of a wife beating arsehole he's likely to be
