How can I keep a twenty-five year old man from dating my 13 year old daughter
The first thing you can do is contact your local police department and report that you have a 13 year old daughter who is being pursued by a 25 year old man. Ask police what steps you can take to protect your daughter from further involvement with this adult. As the parent of a minor child, you have certain protective rights, responsibilities, and legal authority over your minor child until she reaches the age of legal adulthood.
If necessary, you may be able to file a protective order (also known as a restraining order) which can be granted by a judge to make it illegal for the 25 year old to be within a specified distance of your daughter for a set period of time. If the order is violated, he would be arrested for violating a court order. Policy and procedure for obtaining these court orders can vary from city to city and county to county; Contact your local law enforcement or the court clerk to inquire about this.
You did not mention sexual contact or involvement between your daughter and the 25 year old; however, it would be advisable to inform your daughter and the 25 year old (if possible) that the laws in the State of Oklahoma say that a minor under the age of 16 is legally not capable of consenting to have sexual contact making the act illegal. You may direct them to SexLaws.org for more information. This also includes certain communications via telephone, computer, etc...
