My response:

Two questions:

1. What LEGAL problems is this situation causing, prompting you to write?

2. Why are YOU involved? Since you're the stepparent, you have no rights or say in this situation. Simply, the girl is not your daughter, and your interference between parent and child will not be tolerated by a court, should it get that far.

Tread lightly. You might fall through the ice.
