Concerns about DD’s new online friend

My DD has been speaking to someone online for the past month. The internet is the only way she talks to people. She doesn’t speak to many people and finds it hard to make friends. we had good impressions for the most part so I was ok with them talking up to now as he started mentioning things which makes me question his character and what he’s capable of. I have a funny feeling about it and my gut feeling has never been wrong. DD wont end the friendship over it, so instead of removing her internet access, what can I say?

How old is she OP? Is she aware of internet safety and never to share personal info or pictures of herself online? Can you have a good chat with her and make her aware that sometimes people are not who they say they are? Are you able to read over her conversations? If she doesn’t let you or is secretive about it I would remove internet access. Could you distract her with a club or hobby where she could meet new people? Good luck x
