I think that it is absoutely okay! Mature people have more experience (learnt from their own or other peoples' mistakes)... They can give better advise than someone of her age group

You are an adult advising a child. That's the job of adults. Who cares if it's over the net. Maybe the child is more comfortable seeking help this way. If you are truly just giving good advice and nothing else, I feel it's fine. No different then if she went to a teacher.

I believe you shouldn't be corresponding with a 17-year old girl. There's absolutely no good reason for that at all. You are a grown man - 43 yo - you shouldn't need to be writing to a teenager. I think you already know it's wrong.

She should be grateful that an older, more experienced person is giving her free advise on how to stand up for herself and be a whole person. Obviously the people she is close to don't see, or care about the girl's problems and haven't been able to help her.
Unless he is telling her to meet him to have some fun on the side, this is a good thing.

A 43 y.o man has no business even speaking to a 17 y.o. girl. Better watch your conversations with her too...or you'll be on the next Dateline NBC: To Catch a Predator!!!

Age shouldn't be a factor if all he is doing is giving advice on dealing with her current problem. The problem would be if he is asking questions regarding her sex life or talks about other issues and tries to be more of a friend and become a regular part of her life.

It all depends why are you doing this for her... Are there any feelings between the two of you here and are you married? I sure hope not as this would be totally wrong and she really should be getting help from her parents for it! You are not her dad so it is really not your place to do this!

It depends on many things:
Is she asking for your advice or are you giving her unsolicited advice?
Does she want to get out of this relationship?
What are your motives for giving her this advice?

On a one to one basis, yes definitely.
