Give what support you can. But the child has a mother and maybe that Mom is going through a tough time. Don't try to explain it to the child. She is too young to understand complicated grown up stuff. She is resilent and will weather the storm. Just be supportive, give hugs, kisses and smiles.

The little girl,in my opinion, still needs to see her 'mom". If that is the woman she knows as mommy, it will be very hard on her to just be gone.
Stepfathers have been forced to pay child support after a divorce. I think she should hire a lawyer and sue for at least visitation.
In the meantime, she should at least be allowed to call and explain to the little girl that she loves her and will try to see her as soon as possible.
Someone with a clear head (you, maybe) needs to remind the 'adults' in this situation that a little girl is being hurt by their immaturity.
Anyway. My heart feels for that little girl. I hope that was helpful. Take care, of yourself and that precious child. Best wishes.

Stay away???? RUN, do not walk, away from this. It's up to the Father to explain it to her not you.
