This isn't right is it?

Myself and DP regularly check DSDs (12) phone. She is generally quite good at being mature about things so yesterday we were quite surprised to see messages from an unknown number. Turns out it is someone her mum dated years ago for about 6months. Enquires with DSD mum turned out that she had passed on her number. That's not right is it? Why would an adult from years ago who has had no interest before now suddenly start messaging a child? DSD mum disagrees and says this person was just asking after her and there's nothing wrong with it. Number is blocked and deleted!

I'd be very uncomfortable with that. Why on earth would a man, who dated a woman for 6 months, want to be in touch with her pre-pubescent daughter....

My ex step mum had a BF, he was far too interested in her 14 year old step DD, hence I'd never trust a man in this situation.

You're right to block and delete, and have a little chat about safety with her.

Thanks everyone. I'm just so worried that her mum just doesn't seem to think it's a problem
