Child being left in her room all day.

Hi, i just need some advice on my ex partner and my 8 year old daughter.
So basically she has been pretty badly behaved over the last couple of weeks, i think it is down to hormones and maybe over things at school. I try and talk though her emotions and maybe take her toys ect away for a fews days and not let her play outside when she wants.
Her and our son stay at his 2 nights a week, hes always been very controlling and nasty but thankfully never to the kids so far just me and every other woman in his life. We do have a court date coming up so i can hopefully sort things out in a better way.
Anyway he told her to go straight to her room and stay there, which i thought was fair as she had been naughty that was at 1pm. The next day she came back after i finished work 1 and she told me she wasnt allowed out her room all night and all that day only for dinner and breakfast, she started to cry and tell me that her dad didnt speak in anyway to her as well as his girlfriend and my son was not allowed.
Does anyone else thing this is way over the top and maybe be messing with her mental health?? hopefully im not overreacting.
Thank you for listening.

That's emotional abuse !! A little time in her room after a bad behaviour spell is fine but not a whole day!! My step dad used to send me and my siblings to stay In our room ALL day if we was naughty, if we came downstairs she would should at us to her back upstairs. It was AWFUL! So I can see how badly your 8 year old is feeling. Also my husband used to give me silent treatment when we was together, and it was TORTURE! So i can't even imagine what that would do to a 8 year old with her being her father. And the girlfriend ??? Well how can she want to be with man who does that to his daughter?? I wouldn't send her back!

No I definitely didnt sent her back, poor little thing. I honestly dont see how this girlfriend is still with him the way he goes on with me 🤷🏻‍♀️
