How can I protect my daughter from dating a boy with an ankle monitor?

Mary 0:05
How do I protect my daughter but not end up in that situation where I make her run? And it's all regarding a boy with a new interest that has a troubled past.
Dr. John Delony 0:19
Let me put it this way. My daughter would not be dating a boy with an ankle monitor. Period. What in the world is going on? This is John with the Dr. John Deloney Show, talking about your mental and emotional health and your relationships and your marriages and your kids and everything you got going on in your life. If you notice I'm being a little more chill, it's because they did the chat GPT roast of me. They said I come in pretty hot, like I've had a bunch of espressos.
Unknown 0:52
I believe it was, comes in, like he said, seven shot of espressos and run a marathon. Yes. If I'm
Dr. John Delony 0:59
So now I'm coming in like I'm like five Quaaludes in, four or five Xanax.
Unknown 1:04
What was the worst thing that that playful chat GPT Rose said about you?
Dr. John Delony 1:11
The most hurtful that I come in hot with youth minister energy.
Unknown 1:15
Yeah, it did say that.
Dr. John Delony 1:16
That hurt in my soul. Right in my soul. I have no sparkles on my jeans, by the way. Anyway, I didn't come in here with a somersault or whatever and... Yeah, they gave me the hemorrhoids on that one.
Unknown 1:30
It was specifically youth minister on Sunday morning vibes.
Dr. John Delony 1:35
Bro, that hurt my heart. And dude, shout out. You want to be youth minister? Knock your lights out. Man, if the world really experiences me that way, I've got a lot of work to do. I'm going back to therapy.
Unknown 1:47
It's a playful, like it said, a playful roast.
Yes.
Dr. John Delony 2:07
Is it Nevada or Nevada?
Mary 2:10
You know somebody is from Nevada when they say Nevada. The minute they say Nevada, they're not from here.
Dr. John Delony 2:20
You people of the desert, keep your secrets. Hey, next time I'm there, I'm going to bring like a Subaru Outback or like an Overlander 4Runner, and I'm going to just tell everyone I'm from Nevada, and they're going to be like, ooh, a local.
Unknown 2:34
Yeah, exactly.
Dr. John Delony 2:35
And I'm going to talk bad about the strip. I'll be like, I hate gambling. They'll be like, yeah, that'll be cool. We'll drive out in the desert and me and Michael Easter will go for a rock. It'll be awesome. All right. So Nevada. All right. So Mary from Nevada. Um, I feel like I'm like a Michigander who got lost in Nevada. All right. So what's up?
Unknown 2:56
Uh, all right. Well, um, so just a little, let's transition from that to whatever you're about to, it's not awkward at all.
Dr. John Delony 3:05
No.
Mary 3:06
Um, uh, So, I'll just say first that I find myself in a situation of life where one day I'm convicted and I know exactly what I should do. The next day, I have no clue what I'm doing.
Dr. John Delony 3:21
Me too. Me too. Same team. Yeah.
Mary 3:24
So I am in the middle of going through a divorce. So I'm hyper-focused on protecting my children because there's a lot just going on right now. And my biggest fear is that they'll kind of make wrong choices, right? So I want to make sure that I'm doing right by my kids. So the question is, how do I protect... my daughter, but not end up in that situation where I make her run. Um, and it's all regarding a boy, new interest that has a troubled past. So I, I don't have all the details yet.
Dr. John Delony 4:12
Um, how old is this boy?
Mary 4:15
So he is 17. She is 15.
Dr. John Delony 4:17
Okay. Who cares what the, who absolutely cares what the, what the details are.
Mary 4:23
Well, I kind of do, because I think it speaks to his character. And the picture that's being painted to me is that he's in trouble because he was protecting someone. But you don't get arrested unless you did something wrong, right? So in my mind, I've already got a mismatch of what her perception is and what is actually happening.
Dr. John Delony 4:46
So he has a criminal background?
Mary 4:48
So, yeah, just recently he was arrested and he's been on an ankle monitor since. And this week he's supposed to be off the ankle monitor and then supposedly going to have probation.
Dr. John Delony 5:04
And all of your intel, if you will, is from a 15-year-old via a 17-year-old. Yeah. So my...
Mary 5:16
I've already told her that I need to sit down and have a conversation with him.
Dr. John Delony 5:24
Wait, why? Why, Mary? Why? Let me put it this way. My daughter would not be dating a boy with an ankle monitor, period. And I actually teach my son to stand up for people. And so if my son is out somewhere and there's somebody out on the margins and they're in an unsafe situation or somebody's trying to hurt them, I have taught and trained my son to intervene.
