unexplained absence of a daughter for a night

I'd call the cousin to confirm if it was true. And ask for your daughter so you can speak with her. You know how kids are, they would really make up a lot of stories, so that they could spend more time with friends.

I would ask her to put on the phone that cousin or her parents or whoever is the adult on their place. Just to check if they are really having some sleepover there. And also for some important details to work out, like what food my daughter is allergic to, how soon can we pick her up, their house number just in case I would need to reach her, those sort of things. If she wouldn't let me talk to any of them, then she better be home in the next 20 minutes or she will never set foot outside the house anymore after school. Tough love!

nicanorr If I were her mom I would ask to speak to the parents of the girl cousin to find out just heat was going on and clear my ind that she was with relatives and not in any trouble.After all you are the parent and you have that responsibility to care for your daughter's safety and well being.

First of all, it depends on the age of the girl. My daughter has some problems with my granddaughter, but she is 22. If she is a kid, I`d go get het. If she is older, I`d talk to the parents of the house she is staying.

Hi friend, it is not a good situation and i don't allow my daughter to stay in a new place through out a night, this kind of reasons are lame excuses to do some unwanted mistakes, parents must be careful and never allow such kind of things in their kids life to avoid a lot of unwanted problems
