ok so the posts from @Megan and @James are really very helpful and very detailed. i think it's important for the father to get all the information.
the discussion about legality we already had in my case. it's clear he can't force his daughter to wear a belt, that would be child abuse and is not tolerable.
it seems to be difficult to convince her of the belt, but i believe that the parents only want good and really care about the daughter. i agree with james, a belt is not the solution to all problems. the daughter lies, freaks out if you talk to her calmly and if she continues she will probably soon be pregnant.
it's a difficult situation the family is in, i can't really guess for or against a belt, it would help her but she also has to get involved with the help. besides, i think that the family needs psychological help to find each other again.
a question for everyone. is it helpful if the daughter signs up here in the forum ? so she can talk about her fears and maybe we can see if a belt is a good idea ?
@strictfather no one condemns you because you are a father. you really worry about your daughter, besides it is also interesting to write with someone who is on the other side
