Thank you all for your replies!!! I wanted to add some information. I do not feel comfortable approaching my wife about this because I have found through advice and web research that a child molester should not be approached, they will most likely deny it, and it could open up a huge can of worms. It could lead to my wife coaching my daughter to deny it is happening, it could cause tremendous and irreparable damage to our relationship.

I want to sit down with my daughter and talk to her about it. But I'm not sure what questions to ask without possibly damaging our relationship and her relationship with her mother. If I can figure out how to talk to her about this, it will give me a better idea of the situation and how to approach it.

Or do I ask Child Protection Services to talk to my daughter? Some people I have talked to have recommended this, since they are trained for this type of situation.

Others have said I should get my daughter our of the situation immediately and bring her to live with me. But that would disrupt her entire life.

I'm stuck, but I'm getting a better idea of where I stand with your advice.
