Has your daughter been threatened?

Ebony Chatell Robinson, 21, was pregnant and found dead in December 2007. She was expecting to give birth to a boy in January 2008. The baby's father (aged 39) had threatened her when he found out she was pregnant, and later followed up on that threat by shooting Ebony in the chest three times. He plead guilty to first-degree murder.

News stories of this kind are all too common. Ask your pregnant daughter if she has been threatened by the baby's father. If so, take this seriously. His anger may blow over. But better safe than sorry, so take steps to protect your daughter if she has been threatened. Talk to your local police or to a lawyer to see what legal steps you can take to increase her safety. Brainstorm ways that your daughter can avoid being alone with the person who has threatened her.
