Dear MIMster: Help! My 13-year-old daughter is being groomed by the most unexpected person

Recently, my 13-year-old daughter has been isolating herself from me. I noticed she is always engaged with her phone in her room and anytime I ask her what she is doing with it, she either tells me she is chatting with her dad who is not in the country or using goggle to do her assignment, or chatting with her class teacher, Miss rose. Little did I know that my daughter was being groomed.

Last week, I took a day off to rest at home with my only child, my daughter and to my greatest surprise, my daughter didn’t come out of her room to play or hangout with me. I thought she was busy with assignment as usual, so I decided to go check up on my daughter in her room only for me to find her watching a lesbian porn and masturbating.

I shouted at her and slapped her. My God, my daughter is just 13 and she is in SS2. I collected the phone from her and beat her up. Later that night, I asked her where she learnt that rubbish from. Even me, her mother who has not seen my husband for 3 years have never done such. My baby refused to talk to me so I told her I was going to tell her father about it and then my daughter confessed to me that it was her class teacher, Miss Rose who sent it to her and that the woman introduced her to lesbianism.

I was shocked I almost passed out. This is a woman who is a choir mistress in my church and her mum is our women leader, a woman who always begs me to allow my daughter come spend the holidays in her house. She also usually comes to my house to spend holiday with my child when I’m not around. I am so confused now that I don’t even know what to do to my daughter who has been crying and saying she loves Miss Rose and that they would get married when she is 18. I told my younger sister and she said I should report this to the school management and to the church.

My heart is broken and my daughter has refused to eat. I have broken the phone and have stopped her from going to school. Her class teacher has been calling me but I’ve not been picking up.

I had lot of complications after giving birth to her so I’ve not been able to have another child. I don’t want her to be useless. I am not happy and my husband is coming back next week. I don’t know what he would do if he finds out about this as he might blame me for it and think I didn’t train her well. I am so scared and  my blood pressure is so very high now. I need your help on how to handle this.
