I knew this girl a few years ago that was kind of a friend (we weren't close at all)....
we haven't talked in like three years....
she messages me on facebook and we start talking every once in a while....
I had my other friend over for dinner the other night and tells me that the girl just lost complete custody of her daughter to her father and cps was involved....
she doesn't know why though...
now I kinda don't want to be friends with her at all, she was talking about playdates with my kids but hearing this I don't even want my kids to meet her....
am I being too weird about this?
(we knew she did meth a few years ago but we don't know for sure the reason now....)

I dont judge people because they lose their kids. My best friends mother lost custody of her children after calling and reporting her husband for possible sexual abuse on her daughter, he kicked him out and everything and they still removed the girls. It was completely wrong in my opinion, and I will not judge someone on the basis of who has custody of their kids. With that said. Trust your instincts.
I don't think you are being weird at all! If anything you are just being cautious... Maybe you should keep it casual with her until you figure out your friendship and her situation completely. Instead of agreeing to playdates and such maybe just the 2 of you can agree to chatting at a coffeehouse and IMing online.
I think I would be cautious too. Maybe find out if she still has her kids?
