Would you allow your daughter to date someone who has a criminal record?

My first reaction was definitely not but I might have to reconsider. It would depend on the degree of the crime, how long ago it was and how old my daughter is at the time. If she is still in school than no way but if she is a grown adult, living one her own than I can no longer make that decision for her. She will just have to use her best judgment. If he committed some minor offense ages ago than I might be able to look past it but if he was at all threatening to my daughter's safety than I would definitely not approve of the relationship and she would be the first to know it.

It depends upon the Crime committed........ If it were a white collar Corporate offense........Just because he Screwed Big-Businsee the same way they Screw the little guy everyday ......... If he's that Smart to Stick it to Big -business , then I would like to Shake his HAnd! If it were an offense where people were Harmed.....then the answer is Obvious But I don't want to go there. ( I am very Biased on how to handle such a person ) This is an interesting topic.....what has provoked you to bring up this Kind of issue? I would have never thought of this one.

of course not!having that criminal record you'll not intend to trust that guy anymore.. and another answer is it depends upon the situation.what if that guy only been set up to have that criminal record but in the outcome of evidence he haven't committeed that crime and if i knew the guy well i will entrust my daughter to him..

It depends, I don't think if she was adament to date him then you could stop her, my sister dated a really nasty person for a while and no matter what was said to her she continued until he'd had enough. I wouldn't like my child to date a really bad criminal but if it was a minor offence I couldn't say a lot as that would make me a hypocrite, my hubby has been in prison for fighting years before I knew him so I'd have to just be sensible about it.

are you kidding i dont like to date them my daughter if they got criminal records... they can date my daughter if they are not a criminal...

It really depend on how well I know this guy and my daughter's point of view towards this man. If I see that the man commit the crime not intentionally, I'll listen to him and observe his behavior. Of course, I'll secretly have someone to trace his background and his current actions now! For my daughter side, I'll advice her to open her eyes big and see the real him. As love sometimes, or most of the times can blind our eyes in judging our future life partner. If she still insist of dating him or even get marry with that guys, I'll just wish her luck and try to be her source of support when the man real bad and nasty look appear to my daughter.
