AIBU?

in not allowing my ex to let my 5yr old daughter talk to her death row boyfriend on the phone

She's been 'involved' with death row inmates since we split 2 yaers ago. She's sent pictures of our kids to them before and I asked her not to involve them in her relationships before now but I recently found out that she was allowing our youngest daughter to talk to her latest squeeze when he calls (using his illegally held mobile phone which inadvertanly have been paying for with the money I give to her for the kids).
It creeps me out to know she's been doing this and I've asked for a signed letter to say she's not going to do it again.
She's a pretty fancy piece of work but I really don't understand how even she can possibly think that what she is doing is in any way right.

Depends on the crime. Who is her latest squeeze?

Get legal advice.

It depends.

Did he kill loads of people or just a few?

Death row murderer type.

Ok.

So have you applied for residency of your children as their mother doesn't sound like she's doing a great job?

I'm terribly sorry I don't really understand the phrase "she's a pretty fancy piece of work"? - like a table? Or something complex? Or fit?

Obviously children shouldn't be dragged into it.

I would seek legal advice.

YANBU for being concerned... I would be.

I wrote a poem once about my death row boyfriend. Want a read?

As I stand here on this magic day
My heart is all a flutter
You really are quite handsome
For such a raving nutter
I know we've never met before
Our love has been online
But one glance at your mugshot
and I had to make you mine
Perhaps you thought I'd be put off
When I found out what you'd done
But few of us are perfect
And those that are just ain't no fun
You're due to fry on Sunday
When they take you to the chair
But please don't worry, darling
You'll look great with spiky hair
I'll love you till the end of time
Dear Prisoner 467
I'll think of you, down there in Hell
Cos I doubt you'll be in Heaven.

Moving, or what?

I'd be ok with it if it was less than 5 or 6.

Hmm

If this is for real I second the posters saying you need to get legal advice.

OP, print out a copy of Crikeys poem for her to use. She would love that.

I have spoken to NSPCC who have said it's not a child protection issue. Does anyone know where I stand legally?
