It sounds to me like your daughter was asking for help when she was confessing to you. Maybe she is wanting you to do something because she feels like she can't.

It is good you are praying... God knows the best answer... but I think i would suggest calling child services too...

I think too that if it was bad enough that they do give the children to paternal relatives... Not that it would go that far.. but it sounds like your daughter wants help...

you guys will be in my prayers!
