My daughter just told me about a disgusting co-worker and how he's been acting. She will be 19 next month. The male co-worker is 39 and flirts/hits on her frequently. The SOB is married, etc. Now my DD is quite naive and says the guys is just kidding around...maybe I'm being an over-protective mom here but I'm about to throttle him.

The other day he did his flirting thing and my DD says to him "Dude, you are older than my mom!" (I'm 38...will be 39 next month) He says "Oh, well...is she hot too?"

Like I said, I'm about to go in and have a little talk with this perv. If that doesn't work I can call some of my relatives. (I'm stereotyping myself but we're Italian..'nuff said) My fiance and a couple other people say I should stay out of it, that my DD is an adult now and needs to stand up for herself, etc.

Anyone have advice?

P.S. Don't bother asking about what my DD's father would do. He's in the picture...somewhat...but worthless as tits on a boar hog.

Everyone can see this journal post.

she should report him for sexual harassment.

I agree with ayeblossom... she should report him and if nothing is done about it ask to be moved. If that does not work, she should report it to the corp office

If she won't call and report him, you should (anonymously). Most companies, or chains, should have a hotline to call. Perv's like this can always end up doing something worse than just talking. BTW, my best friend is 100% Italian-i'm scared of her family, lol!

I think your fiance is right, she needs to handle this one. She should report him and let the company take it from there. That said......if that doesn't work......I gotta uncle that can fit him for cement shoes if ya need. We guidos have to stick together!!

I know that she's an adult, but she's still your baby...I would sit her down and talk very seriously about the situation. I've had guys like that at work, and they just talk and say things that are completely inappropriate, but then it's like that's just not enough all of a sudden and they'll start touching and making much more direct comments. Now I don't know your daughter, or if she would let someone get away with touching her, but I would recommend that she tell him not to make these comments anymore or she'll be reporting him. Guys should NEVER be allowed to treat a woman like that, whether joking or not...

I reiterated to her what sexual harassment is, how to report it, etc. She's very easily manipulated though and doesn't like to cause problems. That's one thing that has driven me nuts with her since she was little. She's very much a "peace-keeper" and doesn't voice her opinion bc she's afraid of hurting another person's feelings or being rejected.

Sounds like a classic case of sexual harassment. Does she realize that? Maybe she doesn't.

What would you do???
