People can have a bad past and still be good people. Honestly it’s none of your business. Just keep an eye on your child. She probably reminds her of her own daughter and misses her deeply. I wouldn’t let her develop a relationship though, but seriously it’s no one’s business an people shouldn’t be telling you about it.

Don’t be too overly judgy but if you are concerned and feel like there’s a weird vibe. Just go online and do a background search. If you think that it could be something that’s harmful to your child then check it out. But a lot of times parents will lose custody because they’re just not financially able to take care of their child or maybe they’re a recovering addict sometimes they struggle with mental disabilities that aren’t healthy for a child to have to deal with as well so it happens. I know people that are generally good people but they don’t have custody of their children and it’s very unfortunate but it does happen. But if for some reason you feel that something’s not right then just check into it

It’s none of your business as to why she doesn’t have custody of her daughter. I feel like you’re judging her and over reacting. If you feel some type of why keep a close eye on your daughter when she’s around.

Listen to your gut. Just ask her. A lot of times grandparents have the kids because it’s what the parents want. It’s not that they don’t want the children sometimes there are adjustments
I would ask the grandmother about her daughter and talk your daughter about your worries. Explain to her that she is not to ever go anywhere with this woman and maybe go as far as to confront her, perhaps with someone with info authority - a teacher, policeperson, etc.

You could try talking to this other mom and distracting her away from your daughter… ask her friendly questions and make it seem like you interested in becoming her friend… after a few games she may start to avoid you and your daughter, or she’ll lower her guard and fill you in on what’s been going on in her life.

Maybe she’s looking for “fresh meat” to bring home to whoever victimized her own daughter or even both —her too. Confront her and tell her you think it’s inappropriate for her to be stalking your daughter…. Like get in her face about it. This doesn’t sound safe at all. Keep your eyes open 
teach your daughter how to use that bat for self defense.

Could be something as simple as a boyfriend she had in her past or maybe as he ended up homeless you never know unless you get to know and ask her about it
I would sit down with a cup of tea with my daughter and have a heart to heart talk about strangers. This woman is a stranger to her. Maybe it scares her that this woman is running to her after a successful run and not her own Mom. Tell her why you are not and how you feel. Open up to her first. That way she will open up to you how she feels. Build a relationship with your children. This way she or they know that whatever happens whenever it happens they can Always ALWAYS come to you at any time in their life. Children have a sense about their parents. Especially their Moms feelings. If Mom is upset… they know. Let your daughter tell this woman herself to go away. Don’t press her to do it. Let her do it in her own time. Have faith in your child that she is wise enough to see when she is being used. God bless.
Also pray about it. Have faith he is there also to protect her.

Well, don’t leave your kid alone with your husband. Sorry about the comment about your husband but he needs something to get his head in the game. When he does then you can trust him.
As for the lady it’s called grooming, for what doesn’t matter, it’s not okay it’s not safe for your daughter and what’s not safe for her is not safe for you. Your gut is telling you something.
Looking for information and opinions is great! Now you need action. Like a government child protection advocacy, DHS, the police, now! Pick one and do it they will all lead you to the right place and it might be multiple agencies. Let them do their job. Your kid is first priority, but you may be saving others.
If the right course of action is to confront the lady let them teach you how to go about it. There is a right way to do it.

You just need to talk to your daughter and remind her who her safe people are. And that she shouldn’t be alone unsupervised with any adult that isn’t on the list of safe people. You should also have a code word set up in case of emergency that she shares with no one else.
As far as the Mom, trust your instincts, look to see if she is on the sex offenders registry. With you being new and not knowing very many people I would remain cautious until you know more people better.
Could be anything. Ask her.
It’s not your business why they do not have her custody .
About your daughter situation ( Does she do the same thing with other girls on the team ? ) I mean , I cheer for everyone in a sport event as they are my own 
If She only do it to your daughter just trust your instinct, watch your daughter very close , if you feel extremely concerned just take her out and find Something else for her
Trust your gut instincts

Oh, I’d for sure ask her, social faux pas or not. I’d at least try to bring it up in a round about way. Maybe bring all the kids out for pizza, buy the woman a beer, get into a one on one convo and ask some leading questions. I feel like that would matter a LOT to me in terms of whether or not I allowed this woman near my daughter. Social decorum goes out the window for me if I have concern over the safety and wellbeing of a loved one.

Why she doesn’t have custody of her daughter isn’t your business. I don’t mean that rudely. I mean that even if she did have her daughter, her behavior with your daughter should be your only concern. To me it’s weird. Maybe casually ask your daughter what she knows about her. Don’t pry. Your daughter isn’t doing anything wrong. But she might be able to offer information that would settle it for you.

It is weird. Not sure why she would be trying to get close to your daughter or even be at all the games when she has no children in the game. Does she have a close relationship with the coach/friend’s step-dad? Might explain why she’s there. And could affect him helping intervene.
Regardless. You are allowed to tell anyone you want to keep their distance from your child without having to explain yourself.

1st off trust your instincts momma !
Just keep your eyes on her let her see you watching . And talk with your daughter about never being left alone and to polity keep her distance.
I’m not familiar with the whole why she might not have custody I do know that normally they try to keep the parents in thw child’s life. So makes me wonder how bad something could of been to lose those rights. On the other hand maybe she wasn’t ready to be a mom and signed off . Does your daughter resemble hers ?? If so that could be the case . but … and I’m not saying this is the case . There could be very bad reasons why she doesn’t have her child .
I’m sorry if alot of what I said has already been posted .

I would say ask around if anyone ( maybe the police station could tell you) what the counties site for court cases is. Sometimes you can put in a name and get back court cases on the person.
We moved states and I’m very careful here for that reason. Truth is you don’t know if they are good or bad people. You know something doesn’t sit right.
My husband wouldn’t dare question mother intuition. You don’t know if they are grooming her.

Them not having custody could mean a million things. Its not always necessarily bad and if she’s coming to the games then that means she’s not considered a danger and has visitation. Why she is so interested in your daughter idk. But the families that live this way is not uncommon and actually if you looked into it you would see why and how this happens and then you wouldn’t assume the person has done something and cant be trusted. Did you feel this way towards her before you found out all this stuff?

I bet your individual therapist would love to help you unravel your codependency and control issues. Once you get through all that, try learning about things like healthy emotion management and communication skills. Maybe even take a swipe at things like not being a vile gossip. Especially in a small town folks are gonna catch up to your miserable degeneracy.

Let her know not to distract your daughter during the game. It’s not hard to say it nicely. It’s natural to be concerned why a parent who doesn’t have custody of their own child is showing interest in yours. In the end it’s up to you to decide how you handle this situation. I really hope noone who can identify this woman through the details in this post are on here . Don’t need to know who the poster is to work out who it’s about if someone is on here that knows this woman
