Hey Sessions, def replying out of full respect and this could have happened to any father…
I am a single full time father of a daughter and my first thought after reading this is you should have never put her in that position in the first place. Especially knowing the child and you were already aware of his issues. It sounds like you actually anticipated this happening so why take the chance?
I think the number one thing we have to do as a parent is sacrifice our own time to keep our children safe. Sometimes that means we can’t do everything we want to do at that moment or it’s a bit inconvenient. Also, I don’t think it’s respectful to scold other parents children because I wouldn’t want any parent to do that to mine. We are only sovereign over our children.
Also, I agree you definitely had to apologize but I would also explain why you reacted that way. Just be truthful. After that, I would make a rule that from now on the only way your daughter can play with him is if you or your wife ( maybe you trust the kids mom even) can see her. I would also explain to your daughter why you reacted the way you did and why from now on she has to take responsibility with you in making sure when she plays with him you can see her.
Just an idea but I always tell my daughter when we are out at like the beach or park, etc…that I’m keeping an eye on her but that I want her to also keep an eye on me. This is a helpful strategy not only to protect her but also so if you have to communicate she can see you.
God bless bud!
