Najama Davis, MSW, LCSW, told FOX News Digital that the stories being told don’t rise to the level of “parenting.”

David added: “It may be helpful to talk to your eldest daughter about how she’s feeling and make sure it’s okay for her to express any concerns or concerns you may have about the situation.”
