I have a daughter who plans on moving about 1400 miles away to live with friends. She is also intellectually challenged and naive.?

She's immature, and wants this because she says she finds the northeast, where she lives, "boring", and has been invited to live with a friend she has known on Myspace since she was about 12 or 13. This girl needs the income of another person and my daughter will be the 3rd party. One of this other girl's" jobs" has been ****. They will rent a house together. My daughter has never met this girl in person, only online (and webcams). Naturally I am concerned about the safety of my daughter living with people she's only met online, and also being so far from family. I can only imagine bad things happening to her because of the way she is (she does not work but gets gov't help for her condition). How can I help her? I feel I should stop her--but if I try this it will only make her rebel and move faster.

    Lets review this............Your daughter is so "challenged" that she is obviously on social security/disability, is so immature that she describes a large portion of the country as "boring", and wants to actually move away from home to live with a person they have only met online and really doesn't know if anything this person has told her is actually true.

    You, as her mother, are considering this to maybe be alright? Quite honestly, are you completely nuts? You, yourself, have stated that she is very immature and said that this mystery person has a job that Yahoo had to blank out.......makes me really wonder what you typed there.

    As an adult, you must realize that people online can pretend to be anyone they want in order to take advantage of an innocent young girl like your daughter. Keep in mind that some predators will invest years in grooming a perspective victim.......sound familiar? Seriously, don't even let her go.
